About This Is Me

"This Is Me" is a song performed by German girl band Monrose. It was written by Mich Hansen, Jonas Jeberg, Paul Barry and All Saints band member Shaznay Lewis and recorded for the trio's fourth studio album Ladylike (2010). Production was overseen by Pete Kirtley, Christian "TheFatRat" Buettner and Marcello "Cello" Pagin. Introduced by an a cappella solo by band member Mandy Capristo, who also serves as the song's leading vocalist during its chorus, "This Is Me" is a pumping dance-pop song with heavy elements of synthpop and electronic music; its lyrics explore themes of self-confidence, independence and stamina. Starwatch Music released the song as the album's second single and band's tenth overall single on 27 August 2010, following an online poll on Monrose's official website that was set up to determine which of the album's tracks was the favourite of fans, beauting out "Breathe You In" and "Mono". Upon its release, the song became a moderate commercial success, peaking at number 22 on the German Singles Chart and at number 28 on the Austrian Singles Chart. Its accompanying music video was filmed by director Lennart Brede in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg and It features a rotating triple split-screen effect.

When I'm lying on the floor, starring at the door
And tears are falling down

Don't think I can't make it alone.

Been lying here for days,
Soaking up the pain
My tears are slowly drowned

Don't think I can't make it alone.

So I move my feet up off the ground,
Get myself in the shower,
Wash you off.
I'm too strong to fail, stronger now
Don't get twisted, not missing you,
Take a look

This is me,
And I will not be invisible
You can't keep me in control,
Tonight I'm startin' again.

Don't think I can make it alone.

No I will not be invisible,
Shining bright like a star, I'm in control
No you won't hurt me again,
You won't hurt me again

When I'm reaching out for life,
And die a thousand times
Too weak to carry on

Don' think I can't make it alone!

When the silence is the sound,
And hope is fading out
And all the love is gone

Don't think I can't make it alone!

For a while the ground was gone,
Don't worry I weren't there for long
I'm stronger now, too strong to fall
Don't get twisted. 'Not missing you. Take a look.

This is me,
And I will not be invisible
You can't keep me in control, tonight I'm startin' again.

Don't think I can't make it alone.

No I will not be invisible,
Shining bright like a star, I'm in control
No you won't hurt me again,
You won't hurt me again...

Take a look (I won't hurt) 
Take a look (I won't hurt) 
Take a look (I won't hurt) 
Take a look (I won't hurt) 
Take a look (I won't hurt) 
Take a look (I won't hurt) 
Take a look (I won't hurt) 

This is me!

And I will not be invisible
You can't keep me in control,
Tonight I'm startin' again.

Don't think I can't make it alone

No I will not be invisible,
Shining bright like a star, I'm in control
No you won't hurt me again,
You won't hurt me again...
(again, again, again, again)
