[Verse 1]
My friends talking me down
I shouldn't hang around you
What do I do?
Something that I just need to figure out
Baby, it's a mistake
Calling you up this late
Hoping you're alone
Even though I'm already on my way

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't hold my tongue
You're the one I want, boy
I don't care 'bout love
Whatever this is, it feels right

[Chorus]
You're like a one way trip, but I'm ready to leave
I've got my mind made up that you've got what I need
'Cause every time that you look at me, I get weak in my knees
You got my heart skip-skip, heart skippin' a beat
Oh boy, I know it's bad, what you're doin' to me
'Cause when I think of you it gets harder to breathe
'Cause every time that you look at me, I get weak in my knees
You got my heart skip-skip, heart skippin' a beat

[Post-Chorus]
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat

[Verse 2]
I'm sitting in my car
Wondering what we are
Damn, I did it again
I don't know how I let it come this far
With you I never learn
That's why I never turn back
I got it bad
All that you gotta do is say the word

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't hold my tongue
You're the one I want, boy
I don't care 'bout love
Whatever this is, it feels right

[Chorus]
You're like a one way trip, but I'm ready to leave
I've got my mind made up that you've got what I need
'Cause every time that you look at me, I get weak in my knees
You got my heart skip-skip, heart skippin' a beat
Oh boy, I know it's bad, what you're doin' to me
'Cause when I think of you it gets harder to breathe
'Cause every time that you look at me, I get weak in my knees
You got my heart skip-skip, heart skippin' a beat

[Post-Chorus]
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip, skippin' a beat
You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat

Zara Maria Larsson is a Swedish singer and songwriter. Born on December 16, 1997, she showed interest in music from a young age, even receiving an offer to enroll in the prestigious Adolf Fredrik’s Music School. At the age of 10, she came to prominence by winning the 2008 series of Talang, the Swedish version of the Got Talent franchise. Her first release was a cover of Céline Dion’s hit, “My Heart Will Go On”, under the name Zara.

Instead of launching straight into her career as a recording artist, she held off on releasing further material–to her disappointment–until late 2012 with her first original song, “Uncover”. Eventually certified 6x Platinum in her native Sweden, it was later followed by her debut EP, Introducing, in January 2013. After signing to the American label Epic Records and supporting Cher Lloyd on her North American tour, she released her second EP later that year. 1 followed in October 2014 as her debut album, featuring 14 tracks including “Uncover” and the singles “Rooftop”, “Carry You Home” and “She’s Not Me”. As the album was released exclusively in Scandinavia, the rest of the world received a consolidated Uncover EP the following January.

Not long after the EP’s release, Zara began working on a follow-up to her debut that would be released worldwide. “Lush Life” initially was limited in its success to Scandinavia, but by March the following year, it was a success across Europe, reaching the top 3 in the UK. She enjoyed further success with her MNEK collaboration, “Never Forget You,” which became her first UK chart entry. So Good was eventually released in March 2017 as her official international debut album; alongside the aforementioned singles, it also featured “Ain’t My Fault”, “I Would Like” and the UK #1 single “Symphony” (with Clean Bandit).
