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

dj TAKA

We included "SKIN" in IIDX 3rdstyle by CHARLOTTE, a talented vocalist from the R&B world, who continues to deliver hits in the American club scene.
Furthermore, this time, we requested for SHIN Murayama, who participated in the composition of "DREAM" and "Let's talk it over", to remix this song.
This special version can only be heard in IIDX 3rdstyle!!
To those who want to listen to the original version... by all means, VJ GYO!

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

Leave it to me!
You can hear former SOUL II SOUL lead vocalist CHARLOTTE on her world debut album, "Charlotte" (see cover photo above)!
Well, when remixing this special version, the song's tempo was increased, some parts of the phrases were replaced, and I was also anxious about using the original movie, but with ucchie's assistance, I was somehow able to match it well.
This music video is not only said to be cool & stylish, but a highlight too.
An alter ego of CHARLOTTE with completely silver "SKIN"? She appears to perform a mysterious dance, and the walls are lined with X-ray photographs of chests in a row of colors, which are wrapped in a rather mysterious charm.
