Lyrics
You, you could be right You could be wrong Ain't nobody else Come along let your dress Reflect yourself On your own You came unique With mind and body You, you could be right You could be wrong You would be strong If you know that You were living in your own skin Got to be yourself Ain't nobody else Don't you live by color Wear it like no other Batter up keeping it real Any shape any sizе You can find your own style Get your own sex appеal You, you could be right You could be wrong You would be strong If you know that You were living in your own skin Got to be yourself Ain't nobody else Be just what are you are Don't take it all to heart 'Cause you get the chance to choose Don't change yourself to suit 'Cause that would never do Your body wasn't made for two

Song Production Information

We've been asked to record "SKIN" by CHARLOTTE, a prodigious R&B vocalist who continues to deliver hits in the American club scene, for IIDX 3rdstyle.
This time, we asked SHIN Murayama, who has participated in the composition of "DREAM" and "Let's talk it over", to remix the song.
This special version can only be heard on IIDX 3rdstyle!
If you want to hear the original version... VJ GYO please!
Video Production Information
VJ GYO
I'm on it!
You can hear former SOUL II SOUL lead vocalist CHARLOTTE on her world debut album, Charlotte (see cover photo above)!
When remixing this special version, the tempo of the song was increased and some of the phrases were changed, and I had some concerns about using the original movie, but with ucchie's help, I was able to match it up.
Cool and stylish are not the only words that can be used to describe this music video.
An alter ego of CHARLOTTE with an all-silver "skin"? and the walls are lined with X-ray photographs of the chest in a row of colors. It's quite mysterious and fascinating.
