[Verse 1]
Damn, now all the pretty teens and fake IDs around me
Where did they come from?
Oh we'll never look like all the models in the movies
We'll never know

[Chorus]
But tonight, call your friends down
We're on our way now
And I feel like shouting, oh, I feel like shouting
Oh, tonight, it don't matter who you're from
Tonight we're 21 under all these lights
(Hey)
I put my heart, I put my soul, I put my life in it
Look at me now
(Hey)
We're feeling dumb with coke and rum, we raise a glass to it
The underdogs
Oohh
(Hey)
I throw my fingers to the ceiling and I won't give in
Look at me now

[Verse 2]
Wait, give me a minute, just a minute, get my focus straight
They're looking bored
When did all my friends turn into fake IDs and skinny jeans?
I don't belong

[Chorus]
But tonight, call your friends down
We're on our way now
And I feel like shouting, oh, I feel like shouting
Oh, tonight, it don't matter who you're from
Tonight we're 21 under all these lights
(Hey)
I put my heart, I put my soul, I put my life in it
Look at me now
(Hey)
We're feeling dumb with coke and rum, we raise a glass to it
The underdogs
Oohh
(Hey)
I throw my fingers to the ceiling and I won't give in
Look at me now

AJR

The indie-pop band AJR—three brothers born and raised in New York City—achieved a startlingly quick level of success with 2013 track “I’m Ready", a buoyant electro-pop smash that was featured in the trailer for Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck and became certified US Platinum in 2015.

Adam Met (bass/vocals), is the oldest brother, a Columbia University graduate. Ryan Met (ukulele/piano/vocals), a bespectacled ‘94 kid is the band’s main songwriter, also having co-written Andy Grammer hits “Back Home” and the certified gold “Good To Be Alive”. Jack Met (vocals/guitar), is the lead vocalist who splits time between the band and attending Columbia.

AJR began in 2005, busking on the streets and in the parks of New York. Raised on vinyls from the 50s and 60s, AJR was initially inspired by the likes of The Beach Boys and Frankie Valli, but the original sound they’ve now created resembles a modern mix of those classic sounds, with flavors of Imagine Dragons, fun., and hip-hop production elements pointing towards Kanye West.
