🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Make 'em go, "Ah, ah, ah"
  • As you shoot across the sky
  • Baby, you're a firework
  • Come on, let your colors burst

Echo the hook

  • Boom, boom, boom
  • Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
  • It's always been inside of you, you, you
  • And now it's time to let it through
