Best Years

from Sinner by Kevin Coem

/

about

I love composing songs that mix different genres, and this one was really fun to work on because it’s got different elements from future pop, classical music and reggaeton, which were really fascinating to combine.

The theme of the lyrics is “pride”, but rather than seeing pride as a sin, I wrote about being proud of who you are and learning to let go of people who don’t let you be who you are. It could be a friendship, it could be a boyfriend, it doesn’t matter because, if that person doesn’t deserve to be part of your life, you should just be brave enough to not waste time and let them go. As the song says, we should spend our best years on ourselves rather than on toxic relationships.

lyrics

I know I messed it up too many times
Before I got here
But I keep learning from my shit
It's not so bad anymore

I'm over the drama, over the karma
I just wanna be myself
Go run with your mama, run from your trauma
You'll never be yourself

So I'm not gonna waste my time here in this place
I'm giving me my best years
And I won't apologize for taking back what's mine
I'm giving me my...

That's all I want!
Oh nananana, oh nananana
That's all I want!
Oh nananana, oh nananana
That's all I want!

All this sabotaging feels so out of place
But that's who you are
And I'm not saying you're not good enough for me
But you won't ever feel good enough

I'm over the drama, over the karma
I just wanna be myself
Go run with your mama, run from your trauma
You'll never be yourself

So I'm not gonna waste my time here in this place
I'm giving me my best years
And I won't apologize for taking back what's mine
I'm giving me my...

That's all I want!
Oh nananana, oh nananana
That's all I want!
Oh nananana, oh nananana
That's all I want!

Ah ah ah (huh)

I'm over the drama, over the karma
I just wanna be myself
Go run with your mama, run from your trauma
You'll never be yourself

That's all I want!
Oh nananana, oh nananana

That's all I want!
Oh nananana, oh nananana
That's all I want!
Oh nananana, oh nananana
That's all I want!

So I'm not gonna waste my time here in this place
I'm giving me my best years
