[Intro: Instrumental only — eerie toy-box synth, heartbeat kick, whispered vocal chops] [Verse 1 — Female vocals: Playful, sly, rhythmic] Red light flashing in my head Sneakers waiting by the bed One small step, I make a scene Exercise in gasoline Left foot, right foot, look at me Queen of my own little galaxy No Olympics, no big race Just me putting miles in place [Pre-Chorus — Female vocals: Building tension] Oh, my legs say maybe later But my mind says see you, hater Turn it up, let the beat begin I'm not stopping till I WIN! [Chorus — Female vocals: Explosive, theatrical] WALK! WALK! WALK AFTER DARK! Little bit of fire, little bit of spark! STEP! STEP! FEEL THAT HEAT! I'm making my own victory beat! Hey! Hey! Look at me go! Not too fast, but I'm stealing the show! WALK! WALK! HEART ON FIRE! One more minute, take me higher! [Post-Chorus — Female vocals and gang chants] Left! Right! Left! Right! Make my little world ignite! Left! Right! Don't you stop! Tiny steps and a monster POP! [Verse 2 — Female vocals: Quirky, confident] Five-point-five, I'm feeling alive Five-point-seven, watch me arrive No gold medal, no finish line Just this stubborn heart of mine Hair's a mess and cheeks are red Crazy little beat inside my head Every minute, every mile I'm a walking work of art in style [Pre-Chorus — Female vocals: Rising intensity] Oh, my legs say maybe later But my mind says see you, hater Turn it up, let the beat begin I'm not stopping till I WIN! [Chorus — Female vocals: Full power] WALK! WALK! WALK AFTER DARK! Little bit of fire, little bit of spark! STEP! STEP! FEEL THAT HEAT! I'm making my own victory beat! Hey! Hey! Look at me go! Not too fast, but I'm stealing the show! WALK! WALK! HEART ON FIRE! One more minute, take me higher! [Bridge — Female vocals: Whispered, then building] No perfect body No perfect plan Just one brave step And here I am One more minute One more song Look at me now I've been strong all along! [Final Chorus — Female vocals: Huge, layered, triumphant] WALK! WALK! WALK AFTER DARK! Little bit of fire, little bit of spark! STEP! STEP! FEEL THAT HEAT! I'm making my own victory beat! Hey! Hey! Look at me go! Every little step is stealing the show! WALK! WALK! HEART ON FIRE! I'M MY OWN ELECTRIC WIRE! [Outro — Gang vocals over pounding beat] Left! Right! Left! Right! Look at me go tonight! [Instrumental ending — Synth hook and final drum hit]
