About Adore

"Adore" is a song written and recorded by Australian singer-songwriter Amy Shark. It was released independently and digitally on 26 July 2016 and re-released in November 2016 after signing with Sony Music Australia. It received heavy airplay on triple j and quickly gained traction with other more mainstream radio stations in early 2017. Amy Shark describes the track as a tribute to those that are “crushing hard,” and ultimately wants to instill confidence in those who feel like they are trapped in a world of emotional turmoil. Speaking to Savage Thrills, Shark said "I wrote it very quickly and the second I threw my headphones on to listen back to what I had recorded through my phone I knew it was special. [it's] just one of those songs that didn't need heaps of words." "Adore" peaked at number 2 on the ARIA Singles Chart and was certified 4× Platinum. In January 2017, the song placed second in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2016. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2017, the song was nominated for ARIA Award for Song of the Year.

I'm just gonna stand with my bag hanging off my left arm
I'm just gonna walk home kicking stones at parked cars
But I had a great night 'cause you kept rubbing against my arm
I'm just gonna stand with my bag hanging off my left arm

Get me a drink I get drunk off one sip 
Just so I can adore you
I want the entire street out of town 
Just so I can be alone with you
Now go when your ready my heads 
Getting heavy pressed against your arm
I adore you

All of my money is spent on these nights just so we can hang out
Spacing in and out of these dresses I wanna be found
By you, found by you

Get me a drink I get drunk off one sip 
Just so I can adore you
I want the entire street out of town 
Just so I can be alone with you
Now go when your ready my heads 
Getting heavy pressed against your arm
I adore you, I adore you

I kick the gutter in tight shorts, basketball courts
Watch me, watch him talk to girls
I'm known as a right hand slugger
Anybody else wanna touch my lover

Get me a drink I get drunk off one sip 
Just so I can adore you
I want the entire street out of town 
Just so I can be alone with you
Now go when your ready my heads 
Getting heavy pressed against your arm
Just to adore you, I adore you
