Khalid pubblica il suo secondo singolo dopo il successo “Eleven” di gennaio 2020, Know Your Worth, che ha debuttato al World Record di Zane Lowe su Apple Music martedì 4 febbraio. «Quando ho iniziato a scrivere questa canzone era come se stessi cantando a me stesso allo specchio», ha detto a Beats 1 riguardo l’ispirazione del brano. «Sento che il messaggio di questa canzone è qualcosa che avevo bisogno di sentire nel momento in cui la stavo scrivendo. Spero che risuoni a molte persone che hanno bisogno di sentire quel tipo di messaggio» ha annunciato riguardo la sua nuova collaborazione con il duo britannico Disclosure.
Un anno dopo che Khalid e i Disclosure hanno rilasciato la loro prima collaborazione di successo “Talk” (nominata ai Grammy Awards come Record of the Year) ritornano con un sound electro-R&B che promuove il rimanere positivi e il rifiuto dell’accontentarsi.
Qui di seguito il testo della canzone:
He keeps leaving you for dead
I don’t know what you been waiting for
So you’ve got your love locked up instead
But somethin’ better’s waitin’ at your door
You don’t know your worth
All the things I know that you deserve
Say it’s not real if it doesn’t hurt
Find someone you know will put you first
Find someone who loves you at your worst
Gotta keep, gotta keep, gotta keep your head up
Gotta keep, gotta keep, gotta keep your head up
Gotta keep, gotta keep, gotta keep your head up
Who puts you first?
Find someone who loves you at your worst
Don’t forget the words I said
Picking you up when you’re feelin’ down
You get strung on thoughts left in your head
When you lose hope, soon you will be found
You don’t know your worth
All the things I know that you deserve
Say it’s not real if it doesn’t hurt
Find someone you know will put you first
Find someone who loves you at your worst
Gotta keep, gotta keep, gotta keep your head up
Gotta keep, gotta keep, gotta keep your head up
Gotta keep, gotta keep, gotta keep your head up
Who puts you first?
Find someone who loves you at your worst
(Find someone who loves you at your worst)
Find someone who loves you at your worst
Gotta keep, gotta keep, gotta keep your head up (Head)
Gotta keep, gotta keep, gotta keep your head up (Keep your head up, keep your head up)
Gotta keep, gotta keep, gotta keep your head up
Who puts you first?
Find someone who loves you at your worst
(Find someone who loves you at your worst)
Find someone who loves you at your worst
