[Intro: Duran Duran]
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Pressure off, pressure off, pressure pressure pressure off

[Verse 1: Duran Duran]
Past is another country
The present will never last
The future, it's still tomorrow
Are we living too fast?

[Pre-Chorus: Duran Duran]
Searchlight the crowd, I'm fixed on your face
I know it well, but it's a dream I can't place
Something is happening to me
Maybe it's happening to you, you, you, you

[Chorus: Duran Duran & Janelle Monáe]
Everybody everywhere, feel it in the air
Oh yeah, it's time to take the pressure off
Everybody everywhere, step out into the future
It's time to take the pressure off

[Post-Chorus: Duran Duran & Janelle Monáe]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
It's up to you now
It's time to take the pressure off
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
It's up to you now
It's time to take the pressure off

[Interlude: Duran Duran]
Steppin'
Steppin'
Steppin'
It's time to take the pressure off

[Verse 2: Duran Duran]
Swimming with the rat race
Or running against the tide
It's everybody's business when there's nowhere to hide

[Pre-Chorus: Duran Duran]
Searchlight the crowd, I'm fixed onto you
There's a way out of this into the blue
Something is happening to me
Maybe it's happening to you, you, you, you

[Chorus: Duran Duran & Janelle Monáe]
Everybody everywhere, feel it in the air
Oh yeah (oh yeah), it's time to take the pressure off
Everybody everywhere, step out into the future
It's time to take the pressure off

[Post-Chorus: Duran Duran & Janelle Monáe]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
It's up to you now
It's time to take the pressure off
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
It's up to you now
It's time to take the pressure off

[Break: Duran Duran]
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Pressure off, pressure off, pressure pressure pressure off

[Verse 3: Janelle Monáe]
I'm lost, don't wanna be found
I'm up and not gonna be down
Outside looking in on myself
Just me, I couldn't be anyone else
Is it bad when you're feeling this good?
Are we all misunderstood?
It's fine, going out of my mind
Going out of my mind, going out of my mind

[Chorus: Janelle Monáe]
Everybody everywhere (yeah), feel it in the air (whoo!)
Oh yeah (oh yeah), it's time to take the pressure off
Everybody everywhere, step out into the future
It's time to take the pressure off

[Post-Chorus: Duran Duran & Janelle Monáe]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
It's up to you now
It's time to take the pressure off
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
It's up to you now
Step out into the future

[Outro: Duran Duran & Janelle Monáe]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Jump up into the future
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Step out into the future
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Jump up into the future
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Step out into the future

DURAN DURAN has a total of over 80 million records sold, 18 American hit singles, 30 UK top 30 tunes, and a global presence which guarantees them huge concert audiences on five continents. They’ve managed to fuse pop music, art, technology and fashion with a unique sense of style and confidence. Princess Diana also admitted that Duran Duran was her favourite Band among others.

Bassist John Taylor has said the original vision for the band’s sound was ‘to fuse the Sex Pistols and Chic’ after hearing those two bands back-to-back on a pub jukebox one night.
