Released: October 3rd, 2014 Format: Digital Download Recorded: 2014 Genre: Pop Length: 3:42 Label: Studio60 Records Writer(s): Isabel Merjos, Lilly Stuart Producer(s): A.R. Rahman, Gia Rose-Hilton Catch Up! appears as the second track on the album, featuring a change from her usual genres and having a more Bollywood influence to it. The song was written by Isabel and Lilly Stuart and produced by Gia Rose-Hilton and A.R. Rahman, who wanted to preserve the more Bollywood side of the song without stripping away the Pop elements. The song's lyrical content focuses on Isabel wanting to thrive without being caught up or held back, encouraging others to 'Catch Up' to her and not get left behind. Perhaps the most musically diverse on the album, the track has received generally positive reviews from critics who note her experimentation with a new song and turning into her own. She recorded the song as one of the last tracks for the album, in New York City, and there are rumors of it being the 3rd single from the album but she has yet to confirm or deny it.
It starts off with handclaps that are also joined in with Dholak to complete the beat. It has an effervescent, joyful atmosphere throughout the song which makes it full of life and fun to listen to. The high energy bollywood beat needs nothing more to add except Isabel's vocals, which are raspy and breathy, giving it a sultry sound as well. This changes in the chorus, however, when her voice becomes more alive, so to speak, and her beautiful range is heard as she proudly declares herself ahead of the 'race.' During the hook, the beat becomes more modernized mixing with synthesizers and giving it an electropop feel which is then drowned out by the Dholak. To further intrigued listeners, before the bridge, Isabel starts vocalizing in the traditional Indian way which makes her sound even more majestic as she belts it out. All the time, her echo being heard as she sings the choruses and it almost sounds like a chanting. She's joined in the outro with background voices as they all shout, 'Higher! Higher!' and give the track a proper ending. Catch up! Catch up!
[Verse 1] Always, being, underestimated You think you've got me figured out But not until I say (Catch up! Catch up!) You've been waiting for me to run away Rolled the dice and took a chance I don't wanna play it safe (Catch up!) Cus when I hit you, I'll hit you where you won't see it (Catch up!) You don't believe me, believe me I'm never ending
[Chorus] (Catch up!) I'm through with staying in my own lane (Catch up!) I'll never win if I don't play the game The feeling's ecstasy, catch up! Up, up, up, up (Catch up!) And I don't wanna leave you behind (Catch up!) But I'm afraid I'm running out of time I want you next to me, catch up!
[Hook] Stop me, stop me, stop me, stop me Don't you stop me, just go faster I know you've been searching You've been searching, for some answers Hold on to my aura, to my aura Don't let me go If you hold me back, hold me back I'll let you go
(Catch up!)
[Verse 2] So now it's time. For me to leave my mark You'll feel it here and anywhere But first climb out the dark (Catch up! Catch up!) Come with, me now before I get too far It's too late for turning back When the world is almost ours (Catch up!) They think I'm crazy, I'm crazy, They think I'm crazy (Catch up!) But when they're smiling on top, they'll try to thank me
[Chorus] (Catch up!) I'm through with staying in my own lane (Catch up!) I'll never win if I don't play the game The feeling's ecstacy, catch up! Up, up, up, up (Catch up!) And I don't wanna leave you behind (Catch up!) But I'm afraid I'm running out of time I want you next to me, catch up!
[Hook] Stop me, stop me, stop me, stop me Don't you stop me, just go faster I know you've been searching You've been searching, for some answers Hold on to my aura, to my aura Don't let me go If you hold me back, hold me back I'll let you go (Catch up!)
[Bridge] Can't stand by, Impatient Gonna need a, replacement
[Chorus] (Catch up!) I'm through with staying in my own lane (Catch up!) I'll never win if I don't play the game The feeling's ecstacy, catch up! Up, up, up, up (Catch up!) And I don't wanna leave you behind (Catch up!) But I'm afraid I'm running out of time I want you next to me, catch up!
[Outro] (Catch up!) Higher, Higher! (Catch up!) Higher, Higher! (Catch up!) Higher, Higher! (Catch up! Catch up!)
