Rooting for My Baby Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you wake in the mornin' and I can tell it's not your best side
No "Good morning, good day"
I stay to the right if I know you're mad and on the left side
Stay outta your way


[Pre-Chorus]
Just hold on
In a minute, it'll be over and gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone

[Chorus]
I know, I know
That you go through a lot
I know, I know
The pressure makes you hot
See, I know, I know
'Cause you still know what you got
I know, I know, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
I'm rooting for my baby, yeah

[Verse 2]
Oh, if you were here, I'd get your beer and I would hang your coat
You wanna be home

So you roll up your sleeves and you sweat and breathe, this is a long road
So much more to go
[Pre-Chorus]
Just hold on
In a minute, it'll be over and gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone

[Chorus]
I know, I know
That you go through a lot
I know, I know
That the pressure makes you hot
See, I know, I know
'Cause you still know what you got
I know, I know, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
I'm rooting for my baby, yeah

[Bridge]
See, I've been dream-catching
I thought that this is everlasting
A life filled with you, me, love and laughter
Happily ever after


[Pre-Chorus]
So hold on
In a minute, it'll be over and gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
[Chorus]
I know, I know
That you go through a lot
I know, I know
That the pressure makes you hot
See, I know, I know
'Cause you still know what you got
I know, I know, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
I'm rooting for my baby, yeah
I'm rooting for you, baby, yeah
I'm rooting for my baby, yeah


[Outro]
That you go through a lot
The pressure makes you hot
You still know what you got, yeah

About

Genius Annotation

This song strays away from the urban-pop-esque sound from the rest of Bangerz, and musically captivates genres such as Indie Pop, Blues and Soul music, with elements of Country. Lyrically, the song discusses a relationship in a tough period and no matter what, Cyrus is still fighting for their love, therefore, “rootin' for her baby”.

“Rooting for My Baby” received critical acclaim, with most critics comparing the music to artists such as Fleetwood Mac, Fiona Apple and Paula Cole, as well as praise going to Cyrus' vocals and Williams production, liking it to 1970s music.
