LUKE STRIKER (FT. DENEIL KHAN) - ON MY OWNArtist: Luke Striker & Deneil Khan Title: On My Own Length: 3:49 Genre: R&B Written By: E.Donaghy, C.Healy, D.Khan, L.Striker Produced By: Deneil From The Album: Overload Background Information'On My Own' is the seventh single taken from Luke Striker's debut album 'Overload'. The planned seventh single, 'Insomnia' was pushed back for a summer release due to it having a summer anthem like sound not to mention the planned video for the single couldn't be filmed due to harsh weather conditions at this time of year. Instead this smooth, R&B tearjerker track was chosen instead as the video would be much easier to film here in the UK (where he currently resides now with his girlfriend Mercedes Payne) and the release of this track will also coincide with the launch of UK urban artist, Deneil Khan (pronounced Day-Neil) who just so happens to be the younger brother of Billy Khan. 'On My Own' is one of Luke's personal favourites on the album and he knew it just had to be a single after the amazing response it received from fans when a low quality version of the song leaked online a few weeks ago. Luke Striker wrote:This track fits in with the sort of 'different' section of the album just like the previous track 'I Need Somebody'. This is a slow, R&B ballad type track and it features a laid back rap from Deneil Khan who is Billy Khan's younger brother. I just felt like this track just had to be included on the album as I think it's probably the song that takes the theme of heartbreak to its very extreme, death. There's a lot of 'love' songs that are all happy and talk about how a girl makes me feel on top of the world and all that good stuff, I love those tracks but I think they are mainly just for entertainment and the heartbreak songs are there to maybe help people going through similar situations whereas this track is very dark. It talks about suicide and the death of your partner. I'm not promoting suicide in any way shape or form but unfortunately people do feel like that at times and I know it's all doom and gloom but it's life and shit like that happens all the time. This is definitely the darkest song I've ever recorded and although I've never experienced the situation in the song, I know someone who has and I was surrounded by that person for quite a while. Obviously, I was pulled into their situation as you can't just ignore them and let them you know.....'end it all'. I wrote this track to try to figure out how they see things and the end result was a very deep track. I looked over the lyrics and could totally sympathize with the person I wrote it about. Thankfully, they are OK now. 'On My Own', like I said, features Deneil Khan. I would say that he gave the song a real edge and took it to another level. The verse I wrote were more about feeling sorry for yourself but when I sent the track to Deneil and let him do his thing, he returned it with a sort of angry and pissed off verse which I think really escalated the track. My verses are more about the sadness and depression then Deneil comes in and just eventually goes over the edge. It's probably one of my favorites on the entire album and shows a different side to me. LUKE DENEILLUKE SINGING CHORUSUsed to live our lives like kings and queens Everything was perfect, we shared our hopes and dreams We were meant to be, so clear to see, now suddenly you're torn from me Hand in hand until the day we parted, gone too soon, left brokenhearted Enjoy your sleep, don't forget I love you, no need to worry babe I'll be with you soon All I know is falling All I love is crumbling They keep on telling me to stay strong But without you, I can't go on The day we're no longer one, is when I come undone Keep replaying our favourite song, in hope that I hear you sing along Nothing here for me anymore, nothing matters now that I'm on my Oh-uh-ah-oh-uh-ah-oh-own Oh-uh-ah-oh-uh-ah-oh-own Oh-uh-ah-oh-uh-ah-oh-own I can't do this all a- lo-uh-ah-oh-uh-ah-oh-one lo-uh-ah-oh-uh-ah-oh-one lo-uh-ah-oh-uh-ah-oh-one Nothing matters now that I'm on my ownI can't even imagine being with someone else, I'd only be lying to her and myself What we had was snatched so quickly, there's unfinished business between you and me So what am I to do? Go find a substitute? No one in the world could ever fill your shoes You took everything and made it perfect no that you're gone nothing's worth it All I know is falling All I love is crumbling They keep on telling me to stay strong But without you, I can't go on The day we're no longer one, is when I come undone Keep replaying our favourite song, in hope that I hear you sing along Nothing here for me anymore, nothing matters now that I'm on my Oh-uh-ah-oh-uh-ah-oh-own Oh-uh-ah-oh-uh-ah-oh-own Oh-uh-ah-oh-uh-ah-oh-own I can't do this all a- lo-uh-ah-oh-uh-ah-oh-one lo-uh-ah-oh-uh-ah-oh-one lo-uh-ah-oh-uh-ah-oh-one Nothing matters now that I'm on my ownSo glad that you're in a better place but I'd sell my soul just to see your face I don't why things had to end like this, be like this, all I ask for is one last kiss Oh, selling millions upon millions won't make me as happy as you did, girl you were on in a million I should have taken a mental picture to remember the last happy time that I was with ya Now it's gone now, it's all f****d up, I thought nothing would ever come between us Yeah, guess I didn't count on this, feels like the big man upstairs is taking the p*** Oh, you were out of this world so you belong among the stars, look right up I know exactly were you are Just hang on, I won't take too long, I'll soon be there cause I can't do this on my ownThe day we're no longer one, is when I come undone Keep replaying our favourite song, in hope that I hear you sing along Nothing here for me anymore, nothing matters now that I'm on my Oh-uh-ah-oh-uh-ah-oh-own Oh-uh-ah-oh-uh-ah-oh-own Oh-uh-ah-oh-uh-ah-oh-own I can't do this all a- lo-uh-ah-oh-uh-ah-oh-one lo-uh-ah-oh-uh-ah-oh-one lo-uh-ah-oh-uh-ah-oh-one Nothing matters now that I'm on my ownBabe, I'm coming home |
