One Strike

About One Strike

"One Strike" is a song recorded by English-Canadian girl group All Saints for their fourth studio album, Red Flag (2016). The track was written by group member Shaznay Lewis and its producer Hutch, inspired by the breakdown of group member Nicole Appleton's highly publicised marriage to Oasis and Beady Eye frontman Liam Gallagher. "One Strike" is a mid-tempo, R&B, soul and synth-pop song that lyrically deals with the protagonist's emotions immediately after breaking up with their significant other. "One Strike" was released for digital download by London Records on 23 February 2016 as All Saints' comeback single, and the lead single from the Red Flag. Upon release, the song was met with critical acclaim; critics praised the group's dreamlike harmonies and the understated lyrics, likening it to that of their 2000 single "Pure Shores". An accompanying music video was directed by Tom Beard and released on 4 March 2016; the black-and-white and low fidelity music video features the group singing and dancing in moody fashion. All Saints promoted "One Strike" with a live performance on Alan Carr: Chatty Man. more »

Stone cold
You wake me when the phone vibrates
Your voice sounds dulled, but loud enough to hear you
Distant, echoes of my heart unbreak
Silently now, I'm waiting for this storm to come
I'm waiting for this this storm to come
Listen to you load that gun
I'm waiting for this storm to come

And with one strike
My world lights up in a fire
Call it a sign
Don't need hindsight
I'll make my emotions clear
And then disappear
With one strike (one strike)
Mmm, one strike

Shattered, pieces of your words take aim
Your poisoned tongue
But I don't want to believe you (don't want to believe you, don't want to believe you)
Torn up, stitches of my own heart ache
Violently numb, I'm ready for this storm to come
I'm ready for the storm to come
Listen to you load that gun
I'm ready for the storm to come

And with one strike
My world lights up a fire
Call it a sign
Don't need hindsight
I'll make my emotions clear
And then disappear
And with one strike
My world lights up in a fire
Call it a sign
And with one strike
One strike
With one strike
With one strike
One strike
With one strike
With one strike

I don't want to stay, time to go
I don't want to be in this home
Broken promises, time to leave
I had everything that you needed
I don't want to stay, time to go
I don't want to be in this home
Broken promises, time to leave
I had everything that you needed

And with one strike
My world lights up in a fire
Call it a sign
Don't need hindsight
I'll make my emotions clear
And then disappear
And with one strike
Mmm, with one strike

Oh-oh
Why'd you go lie?
Oh-oh
Why, oh, why?
Oh-oh
Watch you go by
Oh-oh
My, oh, my
