[Pre-Chorus]
Rise up this mornin'
Smiled at the risin' sun
Three little birds
Sittin' on my doorstep
They're singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Singing, "this is my message to you"

[Chorus]
Singing don't worry 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
I'm singing don't worry 'bout a thing
Now don't worry 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright

[Pre-Chorus]
Rise up this mornin'
Smiled at the risin' sun
Three little birds
Sit by my doorstep
They're singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Singing, "this is my message to you"
This is for you

[Chorus]
Singing don't worry 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
I'm singing don't worry 'bout a thing
Now don't worry 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
One more time now

[Outro]
Singin' don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singin', don't worry about a thing
Now don't you worry
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright

One of the defining artists of the 2010s and perhaps the biggest band of the decade, Imagine Dragons is an American alt-rock band that originated in Las Vegas and led by Dan Reynolds. While the band began in 2008, the group boasted an entirely different roster than most are familiar. Before releasing their debut album, Night Visions, in 2012, the band released six EPs over four years, constantly shifting their sound and roster from folk to the crowd-shattering anthems they’ve been known for since.

The band’s roster was finalized before Night Visions‘ release with Daniel Platzman on the drums, Wayne Sermon on guitar, and Ben McKee on bass. Their break-out single, “Radioactive” was essential to putting Vegas on the map musically, citing The Killers before them. The song went on to become an international success, obliterating the record for the most weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 at 87 straight weeks.

It wasn’t until 2015 the band released their sophomore album, Smoke + Mirrors. The album was extremely divergent from their freshman album, characterized by an accentuation of their Rock roots and an internal struggle, later described by Reynolds as being his bout with severe depression.
