Background of "Rockabye" - Clean Bandit

"Rockabye" was written by Anne-Marie and Norwegian singer Ina Wroldsen. Wroldsen wrote the lyrics about her son, which, according to Grace Chatto, "is why it rings so true for Clean Bandit and is so emotional and special." Wroldsen originally provided the vocal for the song but at the last minute was swapped for Anne-Marie. The band fought their label to get Ina on the records but failed. Grace described the situation a terrible experience and she almost quit the band because she felt "I did feel like I couldn’t do it anymore because the idea that my business was hurting people … that was really painful. I went completely crazy for a while after that. I just had to carry on, but inside it was really hard", as cited by Wikipedia.

Full Lyrics of "Rockabye" - Clean Bandit

"Call it love and devotion

Call it the mom's adoration (foundation)

A special bond of creation, hah

For all the single mums out there

Going through frustration

Clean Bandit, Sean-Da-Paul, Anne-marie, sing, make them hear

She works the night, by the water

She's gonna stress, so far away from her father's daughter

She just wants a life for her baby

All on her own, no one will come

She's got to save him (daily struggle)

She tells him "ooh love"

No one's ever gonna hurt you, love

I'm gonna give you all of my love

Nobody matters like you (stay up there, stay up there)

She tells him "your life ain't gonna be nothing like my life (straight)

You're gonna grow and have a good life

I'm gonna do what I've got to do" (stay up there, stay up there)

So, rockabye baby, rockabye

I'm gonna rock you

Rockabye baby, don't you cry

Somebody's got you

Rockabye baby, rockabye

I'm gonna rock you

Rockabye baby, don't you cry

Rockabye, no (Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye) (oh)

Rockabye, yeah, yeah (Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye)

Single mom what you doing out there?

Facing the hard life without no fear

Just see and know that you really care

'Cause any obstacle come you well prepared

And no mamma you never shed tear

'Cause you haffi set things year after year

And you give the youth love beyond compare

You find the school fee and the bus fare

Hmmmm more when paps disappear

In a wrong bar can't find him nowhere

Steadily you work flow, heavily you know so you nah stop

No time no time fi a jeer

Now she gotta a six year old

Trying to keep him warm

Trying to keep all the cold

When he looks her in the eyes

He don't know he's safe when she says

"Ooh love"

No one's ever gonna hurt you, love

I'm gonna give you all of my love

Nobody matters like you

So, rockabye baby, rockabye

I'm gonna rock you

Rockabye baby, don't you cry

Somebody's got you

Rockabye baby, rockabye

I'm gonna rock you

Rockabye baby, don't you cry (Bidda-bang-bang-bang, alright then)

Rockabye, no (Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye) (Oh)

Rockabye, yeah (Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye) (yeah)

Rockabye don't bother cry

Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky, yo

Rockabye don't bother cry

Angels around you, just joy your eye

Now she gotta a six year old

Trying to keep him warm

Trying to keep all the cold

He don't know he's safe when she says

She tells him "ooh love"

No one's ever gonna hurt you, love

I'm gonna give you all of my love

Nobody matters like you (stay up there, stay up there)

She tells him "your life ain't gonna be nothing like my life (straight)
