"Who You Are" lyrics

"Who You Are"

Mm, yeah, oh
Yeah, yeah

I stare at my reflection in the mirror
Why am I doing this to myself?
Losing my mind on a tiny error
I nearly left the real me on the shelf
(No, no, no, no, no)

Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising
Just be true to who you are

Who you are, who you are, who you are
Who you are, who you are, who you are
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no)
Who you are, who you are, who you are
Who you are, who you are

Brushing my hair, do I look perfect?
I forgot what to do to fit the mold, (yeah)
The more I try, the less it's working, (yeah, yeah)
'Cause everything inside me screams
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,) (yeah, yeah)

Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart
But tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising
There's nothing wrong with who you are

Yes, no, egos, fake shows, like whoa
Just go and leave me alone
Real talk, real life, good love, goodnight
With a smile, that's my home, (yeah, oh)
That's my home, (no)
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, oh)

Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising
Just be true to who you are, (yeah-yeah)

This song was featured in the film "Step Up 3D" (2010).
Jessie J said about the song's meaning during a show at The Sofitel's Stone Rose on the 2nd of November 2010, "It's about being true to yourself. Don't lose yourself in any situation you're put in, and do the due."
She explained to The Sun her title track, "The day before I wrote this song I was ready to give up music. It's amazing how three and a half minutes of melody and lyrics can change your life and I'm so happy that not only has it saved my life but it's saving other people's."
