I chose to play this song after midnight. This is the energy I’m bringing in this New year. Peace and Blessings to everyone who comes to this song. We got this 💪🏾❤️ Happy 2025 🎉
When I was 24, I moved far, far away from my home my mom sent me a tape with this song on it. She knew I was scared, anxious and alone and knew this song would motivate me and pick me up. She was always my biggest fan. She died last year, suddenly, of Ovarian cancer. I travelled back home to help sort through her belongings. As soon as I sat at the table to look through her photo albums, this song came on the radio. I know it was her sending a message. I miss her so much.
@@saidaboubakar5039 Hey, I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling suic*dal. I have felt that way multiple times throughout my life, and I'm just 17. I won't say any cliche words because I know they don't help. Just know that I'm here and I see you.
Absolutely ❤ my cousin just committed suicide at age 33 2 weeks ago. I grew up with him. This song holds so much wisdom and hope. I know God’s purpose for my life and this song gets me through the hard days and keeps me strong
I used to see and hear this on VH1 all the time back in the summer of 1994. I'm 39 years old and I still love this song. Thank heavens for UA-cam, because we don't see this stuff on TV anymore. I miss 1994.
Yes, I'm the same age and I only ever recall hearing it on the radio. In fact, this is my first time seeing the music video. I imagine seeing it at so young an age must have been quite hypnotic.
This is one of the greatest motivational songs ever written. We need to play this song to our children when they fall over and start crying or get beaten in sports or exams or whatever other pursuits they undertake and become disappointed. I'm glad that this song has stood the test of time.
Most parents stay cheerful then children learn falling is No Problem..If it hurts they cry but overcome with parent's positive attitude. I didn't experience this so it strikes me. Life could be so much easier.
My Mom passed away recently..I lost my only family and I would remember hearing this song in malls on VH1 and MTV and it still reminds me of her...My Mother was the Strongest Woman I ever knew..She was the Strongest,Wisest,Most Humble,Genuine,Loving,Caring,Bravest Woman I ever knew and musically her plight and survival losing her parents at 8 and 16 yrs old her whole struggle through all the hardship thrown her way inspired me to love guitar and music...She was a Warrior with a beautiful mind and heart..She built her success on her own and Im proud to be her son..I have my Memories of playing her my guitars and singing songs to her..She is my living example of this song..In Honor of my Mother Nancy Josephine Ciavattone..10/5/1950 - 3/11/2023..Nobody as strong as you Mom love you forever ❤️
Lindo e emocionante depoimento. Tenho certeza que sua mamãe onde ela estiver, vai sempre tá te olhando e protegendo junto com outros seres de luz. Realmente essa música é linda. Eu amo essa música. Eu moro na cidade de Feira de Santana no estado da Bahia. Brasil! Fique com Deus e tudo de bom.
felt this. especially as an adult who studies music theory for fun... now this hits harder.. like that backdoor 251 esque sound (G Bb C) in this case 5 7 1 back to C on the tail end of the chorus ... phew 🔥🔥🔥🔥
this song saved my life. i was abused by my mother and whenever i felt at my lowest i reminded myself of my worth with this song. i lived, and i was taken out fo tha household. i believe without the song i would've given up a long time ago. this song means so much to me
Maddy P what a testimony this song has gotten me out of depression I thank god for introducing me to this timeless hit . Thank you 🙏🏾 #Desree for this powerful song that has change so many lives . She saved so many people lives with this song . Thank you 🙏🏾.
You contribute an intelligent, brief, heartfelt comment but the idiot who has absolutely no original thoughts "Who listenin' in 2020?" gets twice as many likes. WTF!!!
Man, I love everything about this: the message in the lyrics, the way it’s shot in black and white, the cool big sister/awesome auntie vibe Des’ree is giving. Uplifting and timeless.
I grew up listening to my mummy perform this song. I auditioned for to get on the Voice with this song. Such powerful words I never understood til today! Thank you Des’!
🇧🇷 Que nostalgia!!! ❤ Essa é uma das músicas que escutava no rádio quando criança com 4 anos pra 5 anos que eu amava. Morávamos em um barraco eu e minha mãe, e ela se arrumando para ir trabalhar por volta das 5:00 am ligava o rádio e eu deitada escutando,e os primeiros raios de claridade entrando pela fresta da telha clareando a parede de madeira. Infância humilde mas muUuito feliz,hj tenho 33.

My 5th grade teacher played this for us when we were moving to the 6th grade it stuck with me forever. Thankyou mr.grandberry you thought me hell of some lessons to prepare me for life
Woke up this morning lying in bed thinking of this song and its lyrics. I dont know why it came to me but I believe it's for a reason. When she sings "all I know is love will save the day" I believe it's meant that self love will save you. So love yourself a little more because you cant look to exterior "things" to make you happy (other people including even family and friends, places, money, things of the world) only self love can save you.
I love this song!! My elementary school class used "You Gotta Be" for our graduation and the gentleman who directed us was a talented piano player. Shout out to Charnock Road Elementary School!!!
Classic love this woman remember seeing her whilst shopping and she looked at me and smiled while she was with her mother will never forget that moment warm and beautiful soul.
Hello Im french , did you meet Desree ? Maybe I didnot well understood your message ? Could you explain it to me ? Please .Thanks from France ...kisses from kris 💋 💋
I spent more than 30 years looking for this song, I heard it a lot during my childhood. This week in the car, I managed to listen to it once again and now, it won't leave my playlist!!!
This song gets me through everything from a crippling divorce to moving and living on my own. It’s like a warm hug from a mother who understands your hopes and fears without you saying anything.
This is beyond timeless. It will always have relevance in life. Just listen to the lyrics, feel what she's saying. Its a song of encouragement and staying strong no matter what. Keep going, keep fighting, keep surviving! Don't give up! Love will save the day. Indeed.
This is the sound my soul makes when it’s been shaken to the core. I’m grateful for the ministry beheld in this song. I’m so lucky it came out when I was young enough to need it like I needed Jesus.
Yes!! I was telling a friend recently that I first heard this song as a child on PBS lol. Couldn’t remember if it was a show or what. It was a hazy memory but glad to know i wasn’t just making this up 😅
I remember this song in a car or truck ad, I’ve been searching for this song for over 20 years and today I found it. But I can’t remember the ad I’m talking of.
I'm a 90s kid here, every morning of getting up for school I never get tired of it, after hearing this song, in the future when I have me a beautiful wife and beautiful kids, I want our kids to hear real music like this. ❤️❤️❤️ 👨👩👧👦
u gone have a cute ass family a son and a daughter ( minimum), you gon' be just fine. I want that for you but you've gots to promise one thing and only oooone thing. "that you will take good care of yourself ( i mean it ) and that you will not feed them kids,processed food . because if your mind is foggy because of the toxicity of processed food then it is doing what it is designed to do, hold you back.
Got home from work like a normal day but today was different I just started humming this song, had to come in and relive another good old tune from long travels with the family as a kid, mad how the brain works.
RIP to all children and teens lost in school shootings; prayers to the children who are victims of bullying (and the bullies too), suicide, substance and alcohol abuse, (teen) domestic violence, sexual abuse/molestation, sex trafficking, depression, mental health, etc., ...
This song really blessed and strengthened me when I was going through a very challenging and difficult time in my life. When I heard this song I begin to cry. It so touched my heart. Thank you, des'ree. You Gotta be Strong, wiser, calm, cool, etc...
Hello Im french I understood what you said .I love this song ,I like to listent this song before to go to my job ,in thé morning. Thank you for your message .I leave in France ,I hope you have understood what I said Kisses from kris ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Hey Kris, I was just listening last night to “You got to be.” That song always blesses me. Thank you so very kindly for messaging me. Grace, peace & many blessings be upon you, your hear & your vm path. Note: I live in America (Las Vegas)
I love this song. I never had a mother figure growing up in the 80s/90s and when I first heard this song. I instantly fell infatuated with her strength. One of the most inspirational songs I've ever listened to.
This song is the first day of school, this song is the first crisp breeze of autumn, this song is your first best friend's smile, this song is the college graduate straightening their tassel....this song is everything!!
I was in a kindergarten when i heard this song around 1994. This song used to play every morning in international playlist in national television. After 25 years, out of nowhere, the melody of this song started to play in the back of my head, but i didn't knew the lyrics. I looked for this song for almost two years, and i used to get really icky when i couldn't find it. Today, the spotify played this song at my work. Im still in awe, how did i came across this song after 27 years. 😢😅😂🎉
Something VERY VERY wrong here... such a GREAT SINGER AND SONG, with less than 10k of views. I really CAN´T believe in my eyes... Des´ree, YOU ARE AN AMAZING ARTIST. LOVE your songs.
That time I wrote this comment, I discovered an agressive cancer and I completely missed the aswers, guys! After a 5 year delay, I really aprecciate your kindness! This video has now almost 2 million views! And I´ll look for the 2011 version. Thank you for all!
I’ve probably heard this song about once or twice in me life and I’m in my late 40s. I’ve never heard it on the radio, A commercial used this song for a jingle and that’s the only time I heard it and that’s been decades ago. This song just popped up in my head today and I came straight to UA-cam to hear it! “What a great song”
This song is so 90s to me, but the pure distilled vision of it. Like going back and listening to particular 80s songs, it's nostalgia for the idea of a time, not the time itself.
My mom used to LOVE this song and would always sing it in the 90s when I was a kid...I LOVED this song and now that my parents have passed 2021 & 2022, "Hearld what your Mother said, read the books your father read" has a LITERAL meaning for me now😪🥺😩🥹🙏🏾 This song gives me so much strength these days! My mom is singing to me spiritually 🥰
Thank for strengthening me through this song , it really empowers me with all the crap we are going through right now plus dealing with stage 3 cancer!
Música e cantora do primeiro escalão, nunca ninguém vai ficar enjoado...uma grande intérprete da música pop internacional, uma cantora desta grandeza e esfera jamais será esquecido por ninguém...todos nós somos gratos a ela por ter nos presenteado com seus trabalhos musical de nível extra-atmosférico....quem nunca foi feliz ouvindo esta grande cantora internacional! Realmente ela é di mais...pra quem gosta de umas boas musicas, da nota máxima pra ela!

This song is like a warm hug during summer. Uplifting lyrics.
Yep, a warm, sincere hug from the 90s.

This song always gets me out of my funks & bad days
It ain't so bad
When talent and good lyrics ruled the music industry. 😢 This song is a master piece
Mac Book ProのCMを見て久しぶりに聴きにきました
耳がまだ覚えている素晴らしい名曲
This song helps me get through all the challenging times in my life. There is nothing like a great 90s song with meaningful lyrics.
Hard to believe this beautiful woman was only 27 in this video. They don't make young talent like this no more!
Crazy she looks like 45 beautiful though
@@JJ-xx2fw actually she was 25 she was born Nov 1968 this was released March 1994 exactly 30 years ago she's 55 now
Sure they do. There's only one her but that's no reason to denigrate the modern youth.
@@JJ-xx2fw y’all always say someone fully dressed looks older. You don’t need a crop top to look young.
@@757PrincessAnd plenty of older women look great in crop tops.
Des'ree needs to see these comments to know how much her music has inspired millions around the world including me!
yeahhh...her music is an inspiration
TRUE!
TRUE ❤
Yes I agréé with you .kisses from kris from France
True that!
Back in 1994 Des'ree told everyone you gotta be so many things. In 2024, love still saves the day
I really miss 90's
💯
Me too. 😭
areees100 you and me both
Me too
Musically, yes.
I used to see and hear this on VH1 all the time back in the summer of 1994. I'm 39 years old and I still love this song. Thank heavens for UA-cam, because we don't see this stuff on TV anymore. I miss 1994.
Thank God 🙏🏾
Yes, I'm the same age and I only ever recall hearing it on the radio. In fact, this is my first time seeing the music video. I imagine seeing it at so young an age must have been quite hypnotic.
Blessed
This is one of the greatest motivational songs ever written. We need to play this song to our children when they fall over and start crying or get beaten in sports or exams or whatever other pursuits they undertake and become disappointed. I'm glad that this song has stood the test of time.
Absolutely. Teaches them that when they fall, they have to get back up
Most parents stay cheerful then children learn falling is No Problem..If it hurts they cry but overcome with parent's positive attitude. I didn't experience this so it strikes me. Life could be so much easier.
One of the greatest songs in my opinion ever written . The lyrics are so profound. Beautiful.
@@nachc6459 ...that they CAN get back up. :)

This has to be one of the best 90's songs ever
Agreed
So 90s.
Such a beautiful song, with an honest and simple, yet profound message
This song actually has substance. The lyrics combined with the chord changes are uplifting and inspirational.
felt this. especially as an adult who studies music theory for fun... now this hits harder.. like that backdoor 251 esque sound (G Bb C) in this case 5 7 1 back to C on the tail end of the chorus ... phew 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead, release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Herald what your mother said
Read the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
My oh my, eh, eh, eh
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Time asks no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
Can't stop it if you tried to
The best part is danger staring you in the face, oh
Remember, listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
My oh my, eh, eh, eh
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Yeah-yeah
Got to be bold
Got to be bad
Got to be wise
Do what others say
Got to be hard
Not too too hard
All I know is love will save the day
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
What a classy singer and beutiful song!
agree
What a song with powerful and meaningful lyrics! I've loved this song since I was 12 years old back in '94.
The 90's..............when pop music stood for truth and wisdom...........instead of blindly bigging yourself up :)
One of my mother's favorite songs she absolutely loved. Today she passed away and had to hear to bring me comfort like it did when I was a kid.
So sorry to hear. Your comment touched my soul. I pray for your healing Jesse.
So sorry to hear :(
Sorry for your loss ❤
My Dad passed away on January 2nd -- trying to find the inner strength to move forward. Came here to just listen to this beautiful song again 💓
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Just her voice reminds me of an era. What an extraordinary power! Thank you Des'ree 💫

So love yourself a little more because you cant look to exterior "things" to make you happy (other people including even family and friends, places, money, things of the world) only self love can save you.
Sounds like true love from and of God❤❤❤
I believe that in this realm, self love is important to sustain existence well. It's part of self care. Jesus sustains what comes after.
Simply wonderful. Great message delivered beautifully.
リリース当時これだけシンプルで英語も理解出来ない私が、今でも古臭さなくいつ聴いても新鮮で刺激を貰える曲に出逢えていません。
音楽の力ってとても凄いと改めて感じさせてくれた大切な曲です✨
I love this song she is a very sexy and beautiful woman

This song helped me to overcome my darkest time. Thank you desree 👍
Great music, good for the soul. Positive and realistic.
This song will never get old. I was singing the song in my dream.
😂
I went through a phase where I listened to this song over and over as a kid, learned a lot of great lessons from it.
This is my theme song for the fairy tale castle 🏰 in Poland called Jasna Gora Czestochowa
Most beautiful black women ever 😊 love this song, such a classic 👌
I spent more than 30 years looking for this song, I heard it a lot during my childhood. This week in the car, I managed to listen to it once again and now, it won't leave my playlist!!!
This song gets me through everything from a crippling divorce to moving and living on my own. It’s like a warm hug from a mother who understands your hopes and fears without you saying anything.
Love and God is the only thing that's gonna save my day ❤😢
This songs about witchcraft It’s inspired from shakti Gawain creative visualization. God has nothing to do with it.
This is beyond timeless. It will always have relevance in life. Just listen to the lyrics, feel what she's saying. Its a song of encouragement and staying strong no matter what. Keep going, keep fighting, keep surviving! Don't give up!
Love will save the day. Indeed.
PBS kids promo ad brought me here. Loved it when I was 6 and love it still
Here after getting heartbroken. Always feels like a black girls Bible when I return to this. Thanks Desree❤️
No offense but why not turn to the actual Bible? It can help you a lot more than this great song can!
Skin color has nothing to do with it, don't buy into the divide, we are all God's children.
The 90s wasn’t a decade. It was an emotion.
This is the sound my soul makes when it’s been shaken to the core.
I’m grateful for the ministry beheld in this song. I’m so lucky it came out when I was young enough to need it like I needed Jesus.
🎵 1995: A música quando é boa, sempre sera eterna!

What a classic song. Has a different meaning now I’m in my 40s. 💜 3:38

Anyone remember that old PBS commercial playing 'You Gotta Be'? That's always what I'll remember hearing this song.
Same here. That's where I remember it from.
Yes!! I was telling a friend recently that I first heard this song as a child on PBS lol. Couldn’t remember if it was a show or what. It was a hazy memory but glad to know i wasn’t just making this up 😅
That's where I remember this song!!!! I also remember the "That's what friends are for" commercial from PBS
I remember this song in a car or truck ad, I’ve been searching for this song for over 20 years and today I found it. But I can’t remember the ad I’m talking of.
I remember it, too.
Yes this is the manifestation, alchemise formula in a song🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm a 90s kid here, every morning of getting up for school I never get tired of it, after hearing this song, in the future when I have me a beautiful wife and beautiful kids, I want our kids to hear real music like this. ❤️❤️❤️ 👨👩👧👦
u gone have a cute ass family a son and a daughter ( minimum), you gon' be just fine. I want that for you but you've gots to promise one thing and only oooone thing. "that you will take good care of yourself ( i mean it ) and that you will not feed them kids,processed food . because if your mind is foggy because of the toxicity of processed food then it is doing what it is designed to do, hold you back.
Just heard this in Walgreens. Great reminder, I loved this song the moment it was released.
Got home from work like a normal day but today was different I just started humming this song, had to come in and relive another good old tune from long travels with the family as a kid, mad how the brain works.
Stop asking who's still here, we never left.
Song literally popped into my head while dealing with a problem
Same. There is Help from Angels.
I will never get tired of this song! 💕💕💕💕💕

Thank you very much, I wrote this text 1 year ago, now she is a Sergeant in the Marines and she leads Marines! She’s doing very well.
@@rkinnaird1 that’s amazing and inspiring! You’ve raised a very strong woman you must be so proud!!
@@lesliemaxwell yes I’m extremely proud, thank you
As a air force member it's a honor and privilege to serve alongside her
Such a great album; a timeless selection of eclectic and various styles of music; every song is different. 7x🤎
I love this song. I never had a mother figure growing up in the 80s/90s and when I first heard this song. I instantly fell infatuated with her strength. One of the most inspirational songs I've ever listened to.
Love this song. It could be an inspirational song for everyone sequestered due to the coronavirus. Hang in there folks! We'll get thru this!
It was inspirational for me years before 2020. 😊
So true.
Our destiny from love and basketball is nice too.
Thank you 🙏🏾 for saying that .
What she’s trying to say is “no matter how life (ppl) is treating u , just remember that YOUR SELF LOVE will save ur day” 😉💪🏾⚪️❤️⚫️🙂
You got it 👊🏾
Still listening to it from my early 90's now it's 2021, growing stronger and bold, I love this song thanks for lifting my inner spirit.
Much needed uplift
Never give up hope some positive and encouraging people will always Cross your way!.😋🙃☺️
@@87shanell wanna write it down?
I remember hearing this on the radio when I was a kid.
This song is the first day of school, this song is the first crisp breeze of autumn, this song is your first best friend's smile, this song is the college graduate straightening their tassel....this song is everything!!
Blasting this in my headphone walking the streets of NYC. SO INSPIRING
Merci Apple d’avoir remit ce son au goût du jour 🍏
Man, this song is phenomenal! Never cease to amaze me!
들으면 들을수록 좋은 노래입니다 감사합니다🎉
10대시절에 듣던 노래인데 지금도 좋아요.
사랑합니다!
I was in a kindergarten when i heard this song around 1994. This song used to play every morning in international playlist in national television. After 25 years, out of nowhere, the melody of this song started to play in the back of my head, but i didn't knew the lyrics. I looked for this song for almost two years, and i used to get really icky when i couldn't find it. Today, the spotify played this song at my work. Im still in awe, how did i came across this song after 27 years. 😢😅😂🎉
Something VERY VERY wrong here... such a GREAT SINGER AND SONG, with less than 10k of views. I really CAN´T believe in my eyes... Des´ree, YOU ARE AN AMAZING ARTIST. LOVE your songs.
exactly what I was thinking
There is another video of this song that has 22 million views.
You completely missed the version uploaded in 2011 with 22 million views!!
That time I wrote this comment, I discovered an agressive cancer and I completely missed the aswers, guys! After a 5 year delay, I really aprecciate your kindness!
This video has now almost 2 million views! And I´ll look for the 2011 version. Thank you for all!
I’ve probably heard this song about once or twice in me life and I’m in my late 40s. I’ve never heard it on the radio, A commercial used this song for a jingle and that’s the only time I heard it and that’s been decades ago. This song just popped up in my head today and I came straight to UA-cam to hear it! “What a great song”
Bring this song back for everyone to hear! It's amazing, easy to listen to, and the message is what we all need to hear.
I loved this song so much in the 90's, never knew she was the singer.. a whole new appreciation for the singer and the song
Everyone Needs to Listen to the Message of this Song
This song is so 90s to me, but the pure distilled vision of it. Like going back and listening to particular 80s songs, it's nostalgia for the idea of a time, not the time itself.
I always think about this song when I am super grateful for finding the job I prayed for....
Très belle voix vraiment
et que de souvenirs 😪🥰 toutes les émotions sont là ❤
Dans ma playlist de tout les jours 😊
Me donne de la force 💪
As an adult, this song is so necessary, and refreshing. I feel it’s gonna be make a strong
Comeback!
My mom used to LOVE this song and would always sing it in the 90s when I was a kid...I LOVED this song and now that my parents have passed 2021 & 2022, "Hearld what your Mother said, read the books your father read" has a LITERAL meaning for me now😪🥺😩🥹🙏🏾 This song gives me so much strength these days! My mom is singing to me spiritually 🥰
Simply a classic song. Great message within a song, gosh I really miss the 90's and early millennium 😢😙 Everything were simpler
Thank for strengthening me through this song , it really empowers me with all the crap we are going through right now plus dealing with stage 3 cancer!
This song picked up my soul and healed it as a young pre teen
Música e cantora do primeiro escalão, nunca ninguém vai ficar enjoado...uma grande intérprete da música pop internacional, uma cantora desta grandeza e esfera jamais será esquecido por ninguém...todos nós somos gratos a ela por ter nos presenteado com seus trabalhos musical de nível extra-atmosférico....quem nunca foi feliz ouvindo esta grande cantora internacional!
Realmente ela é di mais...pra quem gosta de umas boas musicas, da nota máxima pra ela!
