The song "Pressure" by Call Me Unique is a powerful anthem about the pressures we all face to be perfect. The song's lyrics are raw and honest, and they speak to the universal experience of feeling overwhelmed and stressed.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "you don't have to put it all on me," which is a reminder that we don't have to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. We can't be everything to everyone, and it's okay to ask for help when we need it.
The song also explores the different ways that pressure can manifest itself. We may feel pressure from our families, our friends, our jobs, or even our own expectations of ourselves. The song's message is that it's okay to struggle, and that we don't have to be perfect. We are all human, and we all make mistakes.
The song ends with a message of hope and resilience. Call Me Unique is telling us that we are strong enough to overcome the pressures we face. We can be ourselves, and we can be kind to ourselves and others.
Unique's close ties to the Hungarian music scene made it a natural choice for Budapest-based producer WaTa to remix their hit song "Pressure." WaTa's genre-bending fusion of dance, UK garage, and house creates a truly unique and exciting mix
lyrics
You don’t have to put it all
You don’t have to
You don’t have to put it all, on me
Feel the pressure when I push up on your pressure
Feeling the pressure on me,
Making me do, things that I would, faster than I would do it,
And that don’t mean I wouldn’t do it, depends on if I’m in the mood,
Just let me decide my own views,
And trust that the view, including you, ends up the way you want it,
And that’ll mean I wouldn’t want it,
Don’t make me dare have to prove,
You, make sure that your list of wants for me,
Make sure that your expectation matches who I be,
(Or I’ll be) Feeling like the kettle dun’ reached the peak,
Feeling like you’re asking more than I could be,
If you do, expect what’ll come to you
You don’t have to put it all
You don’t have to
You don’t have to put it all, on me
Feel the pressure when I push up on your pressure baby
You don’t have to put it all
You don’t have to
You don’t have to put it all, on me
Feel the pressure when I push up on your pressure baby
You don’t say it well,
Say it out cuz I can tell,
Cuz all your friends and family,
Putting all that pressure on me,
I gotta suppress now,
All that is hood of me,
Gotta say Grace now,
And show only good in me,
I can be curse like the worst homie,
Dandelion near the dirt,
Near the church is me,
You, make a list of all your wants from me,
Make sure that your expectation matches who I be,
(Or I’ll be) Feeling like the kettle dun’ reached the peak,
Feeling like you’re asking more than I could be,
If you you you you you, expect what’ll come to you
You don’t have to put it all
You don’t have to
You don’t have to put it all, on me
Feel the pressure when I push up on your pressure baby
You don’t have to put it all
You don’t have to
You don’t have to put it all, on me
Feel the pressure when I push up on your pressure baby
—
You don’t have to put it all
You don’t have to
You don’t have to put it all, on me
Feel the pressure when I push up on your pressure baby
You don’t have to put it all
You don’t have to
You don’t have to put it all, on me
Feel the pressure when I push up on your pressure baby
