“Leavin’ Only Glitter” is a high-energy, unapologetic pop-hop with a 1920s swing inspired melody, dance anthem about reinvention, resilience, and leaving negativity in the rearview mirror. Driven by themes of creative rebirth and unstoppable momentum, the lyrics tell the story of reclaiming joy and confidence after breaking free from heavy baggage and gloom.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Hummin' along to a brand new note
Bumpin' to new tracks I wrote
I love the rhythm, just can't stop
Nothing but dope beats I have to drop
Pockets feel lighter, smile got wide
Swing to the tempo, matchin' my stride
Let go of the brake and started to zoom
Left all the clutter behind in the gloom.
Ain't checkin' the rearview, ain't turnin' around
Just lettin' the rhythm of my soles hit brand new ground.
Chorus
Back on my feet, I ain't no quitter
Shakin’ off the dust, leavin’ only glitter!
Light on my toes, no weight on my mind
Leavin' all the grey and the static behind
Turnin' up the shine to a golden glimmer
Watchin' every shadow start to fade and shimmer
Dancin' through the room without a single jitter
Shakin’ off all the dust, leavin’ ’em bitter!
Verse 2
Keys on the board start to rattle and hum
Marchin' to the beat of a different drum
Waved at the static as I waved it goodbye
Paintin' gold streaks right across the sky.
Clock ticked forward and the weather turned sweet
Every single second fallin' right into beat
Spark in my stride, steppin' into the glow
Curtains pull back for a brand new show
Ain't checkin' the rearview, ain't turnin' around
Just lettin' the rhythm of my soles hit brand new ground.
Chorus
Back on my feet, I ain't no quitter
Shakin’ off the dust, leavin’ only glitter!
Light on my toes, no weight on my mind
Leavin' all the grey and the static behind
Turnin' up the shine to a golden glimmer
Watchin' every shadow start to fade and shimmer
Dancin' through the room without a single jitter
Shakin’ off all the dust, leavin’ ’em bitter!
verse 3
Snappin' my fingers, settin' the pace
Wearin' this smile all over my face
Turnin' up the heat, watch the speaker cones shake
Ridin' the wave and leavin' em in my wake
Laughin' with the rhythm, breezin' right through
Only lookin' forward to the next avenue
Bright as the sun with the future in sight
Takin' every shot and I'm doin' it right
Bridge
Up, up, up, yeah I'm takin' to the sky
Waved at the drama as it passed right by
Feel that spark, feel the engine ignite
Throw the switch, turn on all of the lights!
Chorus
Back on my feet, I ain't no quitter
Shakin’ off the dust, leavin’ only glitter!
Light on my toes, no weight on my mind
Leavin' all the grey and the static behind
Turnin' up the shine to a golden glimmer
Watchin' every shadow start to fade and shimmer
Dancin' through the room without a single jitter
Shakin’ off all the dust, leavin’ ’em bitter!
Outro
Light on my toes
Yeah, that's just how it goes
Shakin' off the dust
Leavin' only glitter
Leavin' em bitter!
