[Verse 1]
I'm standing close to you
We got the city breaking down
Stuck in an avalanche
We got the whole world shaking

[Refrain]
Young, I want it free
Got everything we need
A thousand shooting stars
And many mysteries
And you know we got more to show
The planets are aligned
We got something divine
So open up the sky
You know this is our time
Oh, now you know

[Pre-Chorus]
We gotta live right now
Jumping off the edge
Don't ever slow us down for nothing
We wanna live right now
Jumping off the edge
We're gonna live our lives for something more

[Chorus]
Hey, let's explo-o-o-ode, (explode)!
'Cause we got that dynamite inside our bones
Come on, let's explo-o-o-ode, (explode)!
Now we got that 1, 2, 3, come on, let's go!
Let's go!
Oh oh!
Oh, oh

[Verse 2]
I love this energy
We're burning up like fire
Like electricity
We're hanging from the wire

[Refrain]
Young, I want it free
Got everything we need
A thousand shooting stars
And many mysteries
And you know we got more to show
The planets are aligned
We got something divine
So open up the sky
You know this is our time
Oh, now you know

[Pre-Chorus]
We gotta live right now
Jumping off the edge
Don't ever slow us down for nothing
We wanna live right now
Jumping off the edge
We're gonna live our lives for something more

[Chorus]
Hey, let's explo-o-o-ode, (explode)!
'Cause we got that dynamite inside our bones
Come on, let's explo-o-o-ode, (explode)!
Now we got that 1, 2, 3, come on, let's go!
Let's go!
Oh oh!
Oh, oh

[Bridge]
We're gonna live right now
We wanna live right now

[Chorus]
Hey, let's explo-o-o-ode, (explode)!
'Cause we got that dynamite inside our bones
Come on, let's explo-o-o-ode, (explode)!
Now we got that 1, 2, 3, come on, let's go!
Let's go!
Oh oh!
Oh, oh

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.
