About Beat of My Drum

"Beat of My Drum" is a song by British recording artist Nicola Roberts. It was released on 2 June 2011, by Polydor Records, as the lead single from Roberts' debut solo album, Cinderella's Eyes (2011). The song was simultaneously released with the on air on sale method, receiving no prior promotion. "Beat of My Drum" was written by Roberts, Dimitri Tikovoi, Maya von Doll and Diplo, and was initially produced by Roberts and Tikovoi. Written to feel British and fun, Roberts intended "Beat of My Drum" to be a song which people could sing and dance. "Beat of My Drum" is a dance-pop song which incorporates elements of indie pop, and has been compared to the work of artists including M. I. A. and Major Lazer. Lyrically, the song discusses Roberts' time in the girl band she was a part of, Girls Aloud; while part of the group, she felt undervalued in comparison to other members. "Beat of My Drum" garnered universal acclaim from music critics, with some describing it as more original than solo releases by other members of Girls Aloud; it was also compared to the work of artists such as Kelis and Robyn. Commercially, "Beat of My Drum" failed to make a large impact. more »

Once upon a time I pressed rewind
Two left feet, I had no beat
Baby in the corner learning quick
Keep up, keep up, keep up
Graduation take a bow
See how strong you've made me now
Two steppin' all over me, then cha cha cha cha
I'm in!

Oh don't it make your heart go wow
Oh how I've turned this whole thing round

L.O.V.E
Dance to the beat of my drum
Dance to the beat of my drum
L.O.V.E
Dance to the beat of my drum
Dance to the beat of my drum

Leader of the pack get on that track
Swing your back and don't look back
Captain attending, too much to handle
Too hot, the pan goes pop
Blow your trumpet like you do

I put on my marchin' boots
I know we can work it out
Let's step into the groove

Oh don't it make your heart go wow
Oh how I've turned this whole thing round

L.O.V.E
Dance to the beat of my drum
Dance to the beat of my drum
L.O.V.E
Dance to the beat of my drum
Dance to the beat of my drum

Dance to the beat of my drum
Dance to the beat of my drum
L.O.V.E
Dance to the beat of my drum
Dance to the beat of my drum
