SWEAT

Az angol énekesnő és dalszerző, Melanie C. kilencedik szólóalbuma. 2026. május 1-én jelent meg a Virgin Music Groups gondozásában.

HÁTTÉR

Melanie C elárulta, hogy kilencedik szólóalbumán kezdett el dolgozni – ez a 2020-as lemeze folytatása. A Spice Girl a Retro Pop magazinnak beszélt a magazin 2022. októberi számának címlapján. Az interjú során Mel Chisholm azt mondja, hogy az albumon végzett munka lassan halad, mivel a hónap elején megjelent Who I Am című memoárjának megírására és népszerűsítésére összpontosított. "Kellett egy kis hátsó ülés, mert a könyv megírása és népszerűsítése sokkal több munka volt, mint amire számítottam" - mondja Chisholm a cikkben. "De csináltam néhány foglalkozást, van néhány új dal, és elkezdtem a folyamatot a következő albumra. "Annak idején ott volt ez az írási, felvételi, promóciós, turnézási ciklus. A technológia annyira megváltozott, hogy most úgy érzi, mindent egyszerre tehet meg. És a zene a szenvedélyem. Egy könyvet csinálni szórakoztató volt, de ha túl sokáig távol tart a zenétől, akkor egy kicsit elkeseredem miatta." Az énekesnő utolsó albuma, a névadó "Melanie C" 2020 októberében érkezett meg, miután olyan kislemezekkel mutatták be, mint a Nadia Rose által segített "Fearless". Megjelenésekor egy háromcsillagos kritikában az NME Chisholm legújabb lemezét "élénkítő, felemelő lemeznek" nevezte, amely nemcsak az elmúlt évtizedek legjobb műveként szolgál alkotója számára, hanem a nagyon szükséges erő és pozitivitás forrásaként is.

DRUM MACHINE

How about, I start putting myself first?
And how about, I let me get what I deserve?
With you I feel it deep like a wave inside of me
Running through my whole body, finally I can be anyone I wanna be
Got a new horizon, and it's rising up in me

I'm ready now, I hear the sound
There's a drum machine and it's playing in my heart
On repeat, this symphony of you
The deep vibration, Heaven hold me now
It's on repeat the symphony of you

I'm not too proud, to say I got it wrong again
And I'm allowed, to let a little sunshine in
But when I'm with you deep like a wave inside of me
Running through my whole body, finally I can be anyone I wanna be
Got a new horizon, and it's rising up in me

My heart's a beating 808 right now
The melody of love is playing loud

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

You know I've really done the work, I've earned my stripes
And even when it hurts, I try to do what's right
Okay, I might've ignored a red flag or two, what ya gonna do, that's life
So I'm not overthinking tonight, I'm gonna do what I like

'Cause when I make up my mind, there's no stop and rewind
Let's kill all the lights (On and off in the darkness)
When I make up my mind, there's no stop and rewind
Let's kill all the lights (On and off in the darkness, you tell me)
What could possibly go wrong? (What could possibly go wrong?)
What could possibly go wrong?
What could possibly go wrong? (What could possibly go wrong?)
What could possibly go wrong?

I'm sick of perfect anyway, I never won by playing safe, uh-uh
I might regret a decision or two, what ya gonna do, it's my life

'Cause when I make up my mind, there's no stop and rewind
Let's kill all the lights (On and off in the darkness)
When I make up my mind, there's no stop and rewind
Let's kill all the lights (On and off in the darkness, you tell me)
What could possibly go wrong? (What could possibly go wrong?)
What could possibly go wrong?
What could possibly go wrong? (What could possibly go wrong?)
What could possibly go wrong?
What could possibly go wrong?
What could possibly go wrong?
What could possibly go wrong?

TIL' IT BREAKS

Til it breaks, breaks, break, til it

I try to live right, right, right, right, I'm not trying to claim I'm perfect
But I'm asking why, why, why, why, why does it keep raining on me?
I'm gonna fight, fight, fight, fight, cause that's how I've always been
But I'm getting tired, tired, tired, tired, why does it keep raining on me?

How much can a heart keep taking till it breaks? (til it breaks, til it breaks, til it breaks)
How much can a heart keep taking till it breaks? (til it breaks, til it breaks)
Till it breaks, till it breaks, give me shelter from the rain
Give me time, give me space, cause I can't take all the pain
But I know it'll change, I'll survive another day
So tell me how much, how much can I take?

Oh, I need to lock my door, oh, give me some privacy, please
It won't be forever, until I'm back together
Save me from reality, why does it keep raining on me?

PRESSURE

Pressure on me, pressure on me
Pressure on me, pressure on me

Can't have limitations on me
Just wanna stand back, get what I need
No more imitations of me
Don't want to be loud, just one of the crowd
One of the strangers no more imitations of me

All this pressure on, all these things I do
All this pressure on, all these things I do
All this pressure on, all these things I do
All this pressure on, all these things I do
Under thе pressure relеase (All these things I do)
Under the pressure release (All these things I do)
Pressure coming, pressure coming on
Pressure coming on, pressure coming on
Pressure coming on, pressure coming on

Don't have expectations of you
Just wanna lay back, wait for the cues
Got your eyes on whatever you do
Don't want to be loud, just one of the crowd
One of the strangers, no more imitations of me

Under the pressure release
Under the pressure release
Pressure coming on
Pressure coming, pressure coming on
Under the pressure release
Pressure coming on
Under the pressure release
Pressure coming on release
Pressure coming on release
Pressure coming on

I'm here now, be loud, slow down, feel now
Pressure on me, pressure on me
Pressure on me, pressure on me
Pressure on me, pressure on me
Pressure on me, pressure on me
Pressure on me, pressure on me
Pressure on me, pressure on me

All this pressure on, all these things I do
All this pressure on, all these things I do
All this pressure on, all these things I do
All this pressure on, all these things I do
Under the pressure release (All these things I do)
Under the pressure release (All these things I do)
Under the pressure release (All these things I do)
Under the pressure release
Pressure coming on, pressure coming on
Pressure coming on, pressure coming on
Pressure coming on, pressure coming on
Pressure coming on, pressure coming on

EMOTIONAL MEMORY

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do it

I'm cynical, hypocritical, thought I'd learnt this time
Is it karma, is it critical, am I missing all the signs?
Headstrong, but heart's taken over
Can't hear the angel on my shoulder
I suppose I'll go against my better judgement

I'll do it again, I'll do it again, I'll do it again, I'll do it again
Lose all emotional memory, when someone makes you feel this way
I'll do it again, I'll do it again, I'll do it again, I'll do it again

You're the anchor, you're the remedy, to all my last goodbyes
The illusion of impermanence, makes me realise
Heart strong, head on my shoulders
I'm ready now, I'm getting over
All the hurt that held me back from you and I

I'll do it again, I'll do it again, I'll do it again, I'll do it again
Lose all emotional memory, when someone makes you feel this way
I'll do it again, I'll do it again, I'll do it again, I'll do it again
Again and again and again and again and again
Again and again and again and again and again
Again and again and again and again and again
Again and again and again and again and again
Again and again and again and again and again
Again and again and again and again and again

ATTITUDE

No, I won't have it take him for granted, you'll never keep him satisfied
No need to panic, switch the dynamic, you can have it all tonight
Ain't looking for someone to rescue me
But something 'bout you makes my heart skip a beat, yeah

Oh, you got me feeling dangerous, better step aside, we're coming through
Sassy, flashy, cool, and confident, come on with a brand-new attitude
Ah, ah, ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, ah, ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, ah, ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, ah, ah

Full disclosure, I can't control the, fire burning deep inside
It's automatic, come on, let's have it, every night's a Friday, right? (Every night's a Friday, right?)
Ain't looking for someone to rescue me
But something 'bout you makes my heart skip a beat, yeah

Ah, ah, ah, every night's a Friday, right?
Ah, ah, ah, every night's a Friday, right?
Ah, ah, ah, every night's a Friday, right?
Ah, ah, ah, every night's a Friday

Oh, you got me feeling dangerous, better step aside, we're coming through
Sassy, flashy, cool, and confident, come on with a brand-new attitude
Clear the room, we're coming through, got a brand-new attitude
Clear the room, we're coming through, got a brand-new attitude

Every night's a Friday, right?
Every night's a Friday, right?
Every night's a Friday, right?

GOOD FOR NOTHING

Mmm, you wanna play house, wanna be the big man
Now you're the king of your empty castle, how's that working out?
Strange, that's the way you see yourself
Blame, blaming everybody else
Play, another masochistic game, oh yeah, oh yeah

Get out, I refuse to be, caught up, in your misery
It's you, your worst enemy
The games you're playing, they got me saying
Get out, I refuse to be, caught up, in your fantasy
No luck, now I set me free
The games you're playing, they got me saying, get out!

Couldn't keep me satisfied, so I had to cut ties
And now you're somebody else's problem, I pray for them at night
Shame, you couldn't hear my cry for help
Hate, everybody but yourself
Pain, addicted to the thrill of it, oh yeah, oh yeah

Get out, I refuse to bem caught up, in your misery
It's you, your worst enemy
The games you're playing, they got me saying
Get out, I refuse to be, caught up, in your fantasy
No luck, now I set me free
The games you're playing, they got me saying, no

Everybody dance, can you feel it coming?
Baby, now's your chance, lose that good-for-nothing

CASHMERE

You left the room, but I can still feel you linger
It's like you spiked the air that I breathe
It's everywhere, your scent is still in my hair
Right here, and every part of me
Oh, ay, you got me on a high, babe
When you're right beside me, butterflies
Oh, ayy, we're not even tryin'
We just hit a vibe, yeah, you and I

I haven't felt this mellow since like forever
I put the phone on aeroplane mode, honey
We got a time zone all of our own, I swear
Right here is all that exists to me
Oh, ay, you got me on a high, babe
When you're right beside me, butterflies
Oh ayy, we're not even tryin'
We just hit a vibe, yeah, you and I

You're on my skin like cashmere, like a melody from last year
When you pull me in, yeah, I swear, goosebumps overload
You're on my skin like cashmere, like a summer breeze from last year
When you pull me in, yeah, I swear, goosebumps overload
You're on my skin like cashmere, like a melody from last year
When you pull me in, yeah, I swear, goosebumps overload

FREE TO LOVE

I let you take control, oh, how was I to know, that you'd take me down?
Both of my hands were tied, I just got out in time as the love ran out
I was the last to see all of your cruelty, how it weighed down on me
Oh, throwing my chains aside, I'm coming back to life, back to me

Now I'm free to love again (And again, and again, and again)
I'm free to feel again (And again, and again, and again)
Now I'm in ecstasy, now you're not next to me, nothing is holding me back (Me back)
Now I'm free to love again (And again, and again, and again)

Your world is black and white, you made me colourblind, now the rainbow's out
And God it's beautiful, my heart has opened up, it was locked, but now
Now I'm free to love again (I can almost taste it)
I'm free to feel again (I can feel it coming)

Now I'm free to love again (And again, and again, and again)
I'm free to feel again (And again, and again, and again)
Now I'm in ecstasy, now you're not next to me, nothing is holding mе back
Now I'm free to love again (And again, and again, and again)
And again, and again, and again, and again, and again

ONE TRACK MIND

Red light, green light, no one's gonna stop me this time
I'm gonna find my way (to you)
Heartbeat, flatlines, living, but I'm not really alive
When I'm this far away (from you)
Took me on a wild ride, lighting up my dark side, now I'm in a bed so cold
Took me on a wild ride, now I gotta ride alone

All I wanna do is run to you, all I wanna do is cry
How do I unthink a thought of you, to clear my one-track mind?
I'm sleeping like a damn insomniac, too afraid to close my eyes
All I wanna do is get you back, come hell or water high
Hell or water high, high

Punch drunk, pulse high, all I wanna do is press rewind
And go back to those days (with you)
Oh, all I wanna do is, oh

FLICK OF WRIST

You came to me with nothing, now nothing is enough
You take and take and take me to pay for losing us
Controlling every part of me, you smothered every flame
Diminished my existence, your sick and twisted game
The conversation goes like this
You talk and talk, I bend, I give
Evaporate my confidence, reality's an awful kiss
I showered you will all my gifts, I gave it all, you know I did
Funny how it ends like this

Flick of the wrist, now you're off the list, let it sink in, now I'm that bitch

The way I let you burn that bridge, if I'm honest, I'm ashamed of it
Now you're the hole I'm sinking in, I don't know how you live like this
And this all feels like deja vu
All the things you said you wouldn't do, how predictably low of you

Flick of the wrist, now you're off the list, let it sink in, now I'm that bitch
Flick of the wrist, now you're off the list, let it sink in, now I'm that bitch

Leaving the enemy in our bed of lies
You've taken enough from me (You've taken too much from me)
There's too much energy and no compromise
Blurring reality
There's no recovery in a bed of lies
And I'm not your currency (I'm not your currency)
How do you sleep at night in a bed of lies
After all that you've done to me? (To me, to me, to me)

Flick of the wrist, now you're off the list, let it sink in, now I'm that bitch
Flick of the wrist, now you're off the list, let it sink in, now I'm that bitch
