[Chorus]
Ah-ooh!
If you got troubles let 'em go
Let 'em soar so high, high into the sky
Just like a red balloon
Ah-ooh!
Don't let your worries get to you
Let 'em float on by, high into the sky
Just like a red balloon

[Verse 1]
Monday morning
Shoot up like a rocket
Yeah, the sun is shining
Keep it in my pocket
Got this golden feeling
Never gonna stop, it just goes on and on
Keep on clapping
Join the celebration
Turn the music louder on my favourite station
Wanna spread my magic all across the nation
Do it all day long

[Pre-Chorus]
Today, I opened my eyes, and now I'm so happy and free
I've got my friends by my side and that's all that matters to me
So, come on, get up and join in, 'cause this is just what you need
Let's do it all day long
Today, I opened my eyes, and now I'm so happy and free
I've got my friends by my side and that's all that matters to me
So, come on, get up and join in, 'cause this is just what you need
Let's do it all day long

[Chorus]
Ah-ooh!
If you got troubles let 'em go
Let 'em soar, so high, high into the sky
Just like a red balloon
Ah-ooh!
Don't let your worries get to you
Let 'em float on by, high into the sky
Just like a red balloon
So turn it up now! (Ah-ooh!)
So turn it up now! (Ah-ooh!)

[Verse 2]
Bees are buzzing
Butterflies are dancing
And the trees are humming
Birds are singing songs
Oh, can't you see it's lovely?
Life is beautiful, and it goes on and on

[Pre-Chorus]
Today, I opened my eyes, and now I'm so happy and free
I've got my friends by my side and that's all that matters to me
So, come on, get up and join in, 'cause this is just what you need
Let's do it all day long
Today, I opened my eyes, and now I'm so happy and free
I've got my friends by my side and that's all that matters to me
So, come on, get up and join in, 'cause this is just what you need
Let's do it all day long

[Chorus]
Ah-ooh!
If you got troubles let 'em go
Let 'em soar, so high, high into the sky
Just like a red balloon
Ah-ooh!
Don't let your worries get to you
Let 'em float on by, high into the sky
Just like a red balloon
So turn it up now! (Oh!)
So turn it up now! (Ah-ooh!)

[Outro]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
So turn it up now!
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

Charli XCX

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
