Rudimental – Free Lyrics

Dance

I don't do yoga, never tried Pilates
Not many people want me at their parties
Tryna find my place, some place, oh I, oh I, oh I

And I drink a little more than recommended
This world ain't exactly what my heart expected
Tryna find my way someway, oh I, oh I, oh I

See, whoa, c'est la vie
Maybe something's wrong with me
But, whoa, at least I am free, oh, oh, I am free
If you ask the church then I am no believer
Spend Sundays asleep I'm just another dreamer
Still tryna find my home sweet home, oh I, oh I, oh I

And I guess I ain't too good for money neither
I got two left feet, no, I'm no Jackson either
Just tryna find my way someway, oh I, oh I, oh I
See, whoa, c'est la vie
Maybe something's wrong with me
But, whoa, at least I am free, oh, oh, I am free

Yeah, whoa, c'est la vie
And maybe something's wrong with me
But, whoa, at least I am free, oh, oh, I am free

Just tryna find my home sweet home, sweet home, sweet home, sweet home,
I drink a little more than recommended
'Cause this ain't exactly what my heart expected

Whoa, c'est la vie
Maybe something's wrong with me
But whoa, at least I am free, oh, oh, I am free

Yeah, whoa, c'est la vie
Maybe something's wrong with me
But, whoa, at least I am free, oh, oh, I am free

About This Song

"Free" is an uplifting anthem of self-acceptance that transforms personal struggles and social awkwardness into a celebration of authentic living. The song explores themes of not fitting conventional expectations-from avoiding trendy wellness practices to drinking too much-while ultimately embracing these perceived flaws as part of one's genuine identity. Musically, it blends Rudimental's signature drum and bass production with Emeli Sandé's soulful vocals, creating an infectious electronic-soul hybrid that builds from introspective verses to an euphoric, liberating chorus. The track's distinctive power lies in its honest portrayal of imperfection paired with a defiant declaration of freedom, making it both deeply relatable and emotionally cathartic. It stands as a key example of how electronic music can carry profound emotional weight while maintaining dancefloor appeal.
