Earlier this summer, Fletcher put her “War Paint” on for the world. The pop newcomer premiered her debut single via NYLON, with a video shortly behind on Billboard. After conquering Hype Machine, her blog-declared pop summer anthem made its way onto Spotify’s Viral 50 Chart. With support from top-followed playlists such as New Music Friday and Today’s Top Hits, “War Paint” became the #1 most socially shared track on Spotify in the U.S. for two consecutive weeks, as well as #2 across the world. Now nearly 10 million streams later (accompanied by a popular & prominent remix), the 21-year-old talent is set for stardom.

Fletcher is a hybrid creation, unconfined to the concrete jungle she now calls home. According to Billboard, she’s hoping to “inspires others to ignite their individuality and to fearlessly fight for whatever is they want out of this crazy life.”

Fletcher: Live Young Die Free Lyrics:
I don’t want the same things I used to want anymore
I know how to say what I could never say
And what it means to have it my way
I only wanna do it if it’s something worth fighting for
Don’t think your money’s gonna buy my time
Well, who the hell wants to live a lie?

So watch me turn it up like this
Make it loud ’til I feel it rumble like this
Boom boom, you better make my heartbeat skip
Won’t stop until I make history
I wanna live young, die free free free
I wanna live young, die free free free
And if you wanna be, be, be
With somebody like me
Well, we could live young, die free

I’m so sick and tired of being the one who plays it safe
Ready to start it up and make it my show
You can’t be with me if you move slow
I want it now; is it so far
I don’t wanna have to wait
I like the rush; need to feel it on my skin
If it’s good, then do it again, yeah

So watch me turn it up like this
Make it loud ’til I feel it rumble like this
Boom boom, you better make my heartbeat skip
Won’t stop until I make history
I wanna live young, die free free free
I wanna live young, die free free free
And if you wanna be, be, be
With somebody like me
Well, we could live young, die free

I’ll stay here with no regrets
Don’t tell me what I want
And if I’m gonna bet, I’m gonna bet it all
Don’t need your diamond rings
Cause I can do anything
We should do everything

So watch me turn it up like this
Make it loud ’til I feel it rumble like this
Boom boom, you better make my heartbeat skip
Won’t stop until I make history
I wanna live young, die free free free
I wanna live young, die free free free
And if you wanna be, be, be
With somebody like me
Well, we could live young, die free free free
Free free free
And if you wanna be, be, be
With somebody like me
Well, we could live young, die free free free
Oh, we could live young, die free free free
And if you wanna be, be, be
With somebody like me
Well, we could live young, die free free free
Free free free
