‘Slave To The Music’ is the first single of James’ third album in France and The Netherlands. It was originally set to be his third single in the UK, but was replaced by ‘One Life’.
“I wrote ‘Slave To The Music’ in a hotel room in America. It’s about five in the morning, I was really bored, try to write songs for the next day and I imagined like Michael Jackson, like what he would say to me if I was writing the song with him, and he was like: “You know. You just get a work with rhythm and funky and you know, put some rhythm in there and make it snappy.” And I was like okay. And then I kinda came up with the (lyrics). Yeah, kind of relentless vocal.”
Lyrics
She pulled me in so easily
Right from the start
She played me like I was a melody
One bang on the drum and she funks me with a sweet kiss
She’s touching me with lovers caress
No I can’t fight it
She’s got my soul
She’s captured me
Holds me hostage when I hear that beat
I won’t take these shackles off my feet
‘Cause they’re the only thing that make me feel free
That’s why
I’m a slave to the music
No I won’t stop till my heart pops
I’m a slave to the music
No I won’t give in till I stop breathing
She got me rockin’
She got me movin’
She got me dancin’
She got me rockin’
She got me movin’
She got me dancin’
I don’t wanna be saved
Slave to the music
I don’t wanna be saved
I’m a slave to the music, yeah yeah
It’s 4:05 and I’m barely alive
I keep on givin’
It’s the only way to survive
But I can’t help but shuffle my feet
Moving like a zombie, chasin’ the beat
She lures me in on sweet surrender
Locks me down like a repeat offender
I won’t take these shackles off my feet
‘Cause they’re the only thing that make me feel free
That’s why
I’m a slave to the music
No I won’t stop till my heart pops
I’m a slave to the music
No I won’t give in till I stop breathing
She got me rockin’
She got me movin’
She got me dancin’
She got me rockin’
She got me movin’
She got me dancin’
I don’t wanna be saved
I’m a slave to the music
I don’t wanna be saved, no no
I’m a slave to the music
If you feel with me put your hands up
If you feel with me put your hands up
Ah na na na na na na na na
Arms up, your hands out
If you feel like a zombie, shout it out now
If you feel like a zombie, shout it out now
Zigga zigga zigga zigga zigga zigoeh, oo-hoo
She got me rockin’
She got me movin’
She got me dancin’
She got me rockin’
She got me movin’
She got me dancin’
She got me rockin’
She got me movin’
She got me dancin’
She got me rockin’
She got me movin’
She got me dancin’
I don’t wanna be saved
I’m a, I’m a slave to the music
I’m a slave to the music, yeah
I’m a, I’m a slave to the music
I’m a slave to the music, yeah yeah
Don’t want to be saved now
