"Cool Anymore" lyrics

"Cool Anymore"
(feat. Julia Michaels)

So hold your head up, work the room, smile like you ain't nervous
And be the life of every party with all your friends
Laugh it off, roll your eyes, when they tell you that you're perfect
Yeah you can be that with all of them

But you don't have to be cool anymore
Show me the side that nobody else knows
Drop that act with your keys at the door
Lose the mirrors, I see through the smoke
Save all that for the rest of the world
Come on let me love you girl
And don't you know that I'm already yours
You don't have to be cool anymore
Cool anymore

Puff your chest, crack a drink with your boys like you like to
And you internalize everything that's wrong
But I know you and I know when we go home
You're slow dancing in the kitchen with me all night long
I know you and I know when we're alone you'll hold me better up, better than anyone

But you don't have to be cool anymore
Show me the side that nobody else knows
Drop that act with your keys at the door
Lose the mirrors, I see through the smoke
Save all that for the rest of the world
Come on let me love you girl
And don't you know that I'm already yours
You don't have to be cool anymore
Cool anymore

You can be anything to anyone
When the curtains close and the day is done
It's just us in the dark
Baby, just be who you are

You don't have to be cool anymore
Show me the side that nobody else knows
Drop that act with your keys at the door
Lose the mirrors, I see through the smoke
Save all that for the rest of the world
Come on let me love you girl
And don't you know that I'm already yours
You don't have to be cool anymore
Cool anymore

You don't gotta be, you don't gotta be (cool anymore)
(Oh, cool anymore)
You don't gotta be, you don't gotta be
You don't gotta be, you don't gotta be
Cool anymore
You don't gotta be cool anymore

Julia Michaels, who sings a duet with Jordan Davis on this track, has also contributed to the writing process with Jordan Davis, Nicolle Galyon, Ross Copperman, and Emily Weisband.
Jordan Davis told in an interview for Rolling Stone magazine in November 2019, "I remember writing with Julia Michaels around four years ago, and she was so dialed into what she was doing. Fast forward to this song: we sent it to Julia and said, 'Hey, do you want to be a part of this? I think it's who you are, and it would be killer.' When she sent it back, she had completely rewritten the second verse and made it totally unreal."
The music video for "Cool Anymore" was directed by Eric Ryan Anderson.
