<pre>Girl, give it up, go and run away
<pre>Girl, give it up go and run away
To the arms of a magic day
To the arms of a magic day
Where you can stay
Where you can stay,
Where you can find yourself
Where you can find yourself (find yourself)
Find yourself


Lose your fear, 'cause there is no one here
Lose your fear cause there is no one here
Do what you want to do
Do what you want to do, there's nobody stopping you, no
There's nobody stopping you, no
Give yourself and let the music take you far
Give yourself and let the music take you far
Then you will know who you are
Then you will know who you are.


Baby, getting higher
Baby, gettiing higher, we're getting higher
We're getting higher
Moving with the vibe,
Movin' with the vibe
Let the rhythm make you fly.
Let the rhythm make you fly
You are the one, Baby, isn't this fun tonight.
You are the one! Baby, isn't this fun
Tonight


Whoa-oh oh ohhhh, whoa-oh
You and I
You and I
I know we can move if we try
I know we can move if we try
You know this is how it should be
You know this is how it should be...


Baby, getting higher
Baby getting higher, we're getting higher
We're getting higher
Open up your eyes,
Open up your eyes,
Everyday is a surprise
Everyday is a surprise
You are the one
You are the one, Baby, the only one tonight.
Baby, the only one
Tonight


We're getting higher
Baby getting higher, we're getting higher,
We're getting higher,
Start again from here
Start again from here
And a new you will appear
And an new you will appear
You are the one, Baby, isn't this fun
You are the one, Baby, isn't this fun tonight.</pre>
Tonight</pre>

==== NAOKI ====
I made this with the intention of creating a high-quality dance pop song, and I consider it to be my hidden gem.<br>
Although I created various paths, it would make me happy if you can feel a new perspective of my music which contrasts my existing image, even with a bright and light dance pop song like this.
=== DanceDanceRevolution 4thMIX Official Website ===
==== NAOKI MAEDA ====
I created this song with a fresh wind at my back, while fully loaded with happy feelings (laughs), and I think it's a song that skillfully intertwines the beautiful flowing melody with a comfortable dance beat. When you're tired of playing hard, isn't it an ideal song to cool down to?

=== VJ GYO ===
The IIDX team leader has the authority to create the game, but I recently noticed the high difficulty level of songs as if I was furiously playing for score. I noticed that this song is easier to clear compared to NAOKI's previous songs, as it serves as a cooldown track because of the transparent and refreshing sound button overlaps.<br>
The fluffy sensation of soaring higher into the sky resembles a balloon more than an airplane.
