Lyrics & Translation
Learn about the power of collaboration and storytelling in music through Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus's duet, "II MOST WANTED." This track, which blends country and pop-rock, showcases how two distinct and powerful voices can harmonize to create a heartfelt narrative of love and loyalty. Initially written by Cyrus years prior, the song found its perfect home on Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter' album, illustrating the organic and serendipitous nature of musical creation. The song also interpolates Fleetwood Mac's classic "Landslide," offering a lesson in how artists draw inspiration from and pay homage to their predecessors.
[English]
Know we're jumpin' the gun, but we're both still youngOne day, we won't be
Didn't know what I want 'til I saw your face
Said goodbye to the old me
Came out of nowhere, didn't give no warnin'
Pedal so heavy, like the two most wanted, and I
Don't know what you're doin' tonight, but I
I'll be your shotgun rider 'til the day I die
Smoke out the window flyin' down the 405
And I'll be your backseat baby
Drivin' you crazy anytime you like
Whoa, I'll be your shotgun rider 'til the day I, 'til the day I die
Making waves in the wind with my empty hand
My other hand on you
Been a while since I haven't tried to pull away
But it's time for something new
Came out of nowhere, didn't give no warnin'
Pedal so heavy like the two most wanted, and I
Don't know what you're doin' tonight, but I
I'll be your shotgun rider 'til the day I die
Smoke out the window flyin' down the 405
Yeah, I'll be your backseat baby
Drivin' you crazy anytime you like
Whoa, I'll be your shotgun rider 'til the day I, 'til the day I die
('Til the day I, 'til the day I, 'til the day I die)
Yeah, 'til the day I die
('Til the day I, 'til the day I, 'til the day I die)
I know we're jumpin' the gun, and we're both still young
But one day, we won't be
I'd go wherever you take me, seems kind of crazy, ooh-oh
I'll be your shotgun rider 'til the day I die
We're gettin' high 'til we don't realize time is passin' by
Yeah, I'll be your backseat baby
I'm drivin' you crazy anytime you like, oh, woah
I'll be your shotgun rider 'til the day I, 'til the day I die
('Til the day I, 'til the day I, 'til the day I die)
'Til the day I die
('Til the day I, 'til the day I, 'til the day I die)
Mm, oh
