About We Break the Dawn

"We Break the Dawn" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Michelle Williams. It was written by Solange Knowles, Andrew Frampton and Wayne Wilkins and produced by Wilkins and Frampton for Williams' third studio album Unexpected (2008). Officially premiering as the album's lead single on the People.com website on March 31, 2008, the single received critical acclaim for its "terrific fusion of European disco and dance-pop as well as its "irresistible" chorus. "We Break the Dawn" dominated the US Billboard Dance charts, topping the Hot Dance Airplay chart and peaking at number four on the Hot Dance Club Play chart. Despite being promoted by Williams with various live performances, TV appearances, interviews and with the release of a Phil Griffin directed music video, the song failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. In Europe however, despite minimal promotion, the single became Williams' first song to chart on the UK Singles Chart – where it debuted and peaked within the top 50 at number forty-seven, the single also charted at number twenty-six on the Billboard Global Dance Tracks chart, and also peaked within the top 40 of the Hungarian Singles Chart in 2009. The song was nominated for "Best R&B Vocal Performance By a Female Artist" in the 2008 NewNowNext Awards. more »

Oh there's somethin' bout the skylight tonight
Something that makes me know everything's goin' be alright
There's somethin' in the way that the stars align
There's not a single moment I'ma pass by

The hour's now
The base is loud
The disco lights
Shinin' through the crowd
We're holdin' time in our hands and it stops when we say
We say
And we ain't stoppin' 'til the morning light

[Chorus]
We gotta hold back the sun, don't let it come
Ain't stoppin' for no one
The night is young
Don't let them turn on the lights
Let us decide when they play that last song
The night is done
When we break the dawn

We break the dawn [Repeat: x4]

Oh there somethin' on the surface right now
Somethin' the keeps me movin' diggin' deeper down
So I just let the speakers speak to me
Vibrations movin' on the floor all around

The hour's now (yes)
The base is loud (yes)
The disco lights (yes)
Shinin' through the crowd
We're holdin' time in our hands and it stops when we say
And we ain't stopping 'til the morning light

[Chorus]

We break the dawn [Repeat: x8]

The daylight scene never hurt nobody
And if the DJ decides there ain't no more party
Cause we're turnin' when we're good and ready
We step outside
Til the sunrise
Wait up and let me

We ain't goin' nowhere
Til we good and ready
Oh
Break the dawn!

[Chorus: x2]

We gotta hold back the sun

[Repeats]
We break the dawn
