Free Me

About Free Me

"Free Me" is a song by English singer and songwriter Joss Stone from her fourth studio album, Colour Me Free!, (released on 20 October 2009 in the US). The track was released on 8 November 2009 and is currently the only single for the album. The song was a commercial failure, only charting in four countries, without reaching a top ten position. A music video was not released. It embodies portions of "Do the Dirt" by The Meters. Stone wrote the song as a protest song against her label, EMI. In the song, Stone sings that she cannot be told what to do. In the outro, she even sings "Free me, free me, EMI". It was reported that Stone wanted to leave EMI, but EMI didn't want to end the four-album contract Stone signed in 2006. Before Colour Me Free, she had only released one out of the four albums that were in her contract. It was announced Stone left EMI, and is now assigned to a new label called "Stone'd Records", based in New York City and Bristol. EMI/Virgin retained the rights to her previously released songs and released the compilation album The Best of Joss Stone 2003–2009 which included the song "Free Me". more »

Ain't I got you on my back foot
And you know I got to feeling good
Cause there's something deep inside of me
I got to be

And if you find it hard to follow me
If I loose you in my creative stream
Than you only got to raise your eyes
And see me fly

Don't tell me that I won't
I will
Don't tell me that I'm not
I am
Don't tell me that my master plan
Ain't coming through

Don't tell me that I won't
I will
Don't tell me how to think
I fell
Don't tell me cause I know what's real
What I can do

Something that you don't see every day
A little girl who has found her way
In world that tries to take away
All of your dreams

I think there's one thing I will say to you
That there is nothing that you can't do
Cause it's all about your attitude
Don't let them get to you

Don't tell me that I won't
I will
Don't tell me that I'm not
I am
Don't tell me that my master plan
Ain't coming through

Don't tell me that I won't
I will
Don't tell me how to think
I fell
Don't tell me cause I know what's real
What I can do

And when we're singing it out our voice
We can make that choice to be free

And when we're singing it out our voice
We can make that choice to be free

Music, hey, I love it
Yeah, yes, I do
Music, now, now, now, what
I love it, yes, I do

Don't tell me that I won't
I will
Don't tell me that I'm not
I am
Don't tell me that my master plan
Ain't coming through

Don't tell me that I won't
I will
Don't tell me how to think
I fell
Don't tell me cause I know what's real
What I can do

Free me
Free me
Free me
Free me
