Lyrics:
In the night, in the middle of the day
I call you over but you always hesitate
Used to tell me we should leave it up to fate
Now I know that I don’t ever have to wait
Close my eyes, let down my hair
I’m thinking ‘bout what I want, that’s gonna take me there
Turn the dial on the stereo
I’m thinking ‘bout who I want and I won’t let go
You can’t hold me now, only I can do that
You can’t hold me now, only I can do that
You can’t hold me now, only I can do that
You can’t hold me now, hold me now
Ooh ooh oh
In a t-shirt, in my satin lingerie
A little lower a little higher, change pace
Used to wait here but you’d always be too late
Now I can go there and I never have to fake
Close my eyes, let down my hair
I’m thinking ‘bout what I want, that’s gonna take me there
Turn the dial on the stereo
I’m thinking ‘bout who I want and I won’t let go
You can’t hold me now, only I can do that
You can’t hold me now, only I can do that
You can’t hold me now, only I can do that
You can’t hold me now, hold me now.
Ooh ooh oh
Aya ooh ahh oh, aya ooh ahh
Oh aah, you can’t hold me
Thought you were my only love
But I found someone with the perfect touch
And oh ahh, You can’t hold me
I don’t want to waste your time
Got a secret and it’s mine oh mine
And oh ahh, You can’t hold me
I used to have to wait around
Stay home baby I can hold it down
And oh ahh, you can’t hold me
Now I don’t have to look no more
I’m the one that I’ve been waiting for
And oh ahh, you can’t hold me
Aya ooh ahh oh, aya ooh ahh
Oh aah, you can’t hold me

[@lewisquartz9044]

Lool

[@floo4587]

Me too

[@purrlionpony9317]

Yeah I figured. And honestly I tho I've heard this song before Bismuth Casual. When listening to this song I really tho it sounded familiar some how and also wait I thought su don't use real song that aren't already made and of course this is the first they've done it. So nice to know the crewiverse are allowed use it in their show. And I'll say not a bad choose either.

[@veetree850]

Rebecca is a genius
1. Make friends with a famous musician
2. Put their songs in your show
3. Collab

[@Universe1416]

she's not exactly famous but the music is great

[@aiden2372]

This is the same person who sings the "Being Human" end credits. It's cool they decided to have her music on there.

For a moment I thought you were talking about the fantastic BBC series "Being Human" about a vampire, a ghost and a werewolf living together. It wasn't until I typed it into UA-cam that I realised there was an SU episode also called "Being Human".

The beat progression from beginning to end is crazy good! I initially felt some Bali vibes in the beginning, but then slowly turned into retro 90 synth and grooves by the chorus. Classic Emily in the making.

AWM it's more 80s synth, but it's definitely mixing decades and countries of music. 90s didn't really have a lot of synth.

This song was such a beautiful moment for expressing how free and confident Steven and Connie feel as Stevani, as well as the ending series message of needing to also love yourself and be comfortable in your own skin.
That was one of my favorite scenes from the after series and why I looked up the rest of this song.

[@Jygerthe2nd]

Man, listening to the rest of this song, it's pretty clear why we only got a sample of it for Steven Universe Future. And knowing that Connie loves this song REALLY shows how much she's grown up. XD

[@stevengubkin7197]

One of the major themes of Steven Universe is celebration of all the different forms of romantic and sexual expression. It makes sense to include a song about self love as well.
It is obvious from the comments here that if a Steven Universe fan "isn't ready" to understand what the song is about, they can still love it. Those who do understand get an extremely positive affirmation of an activity which is often shamed in the broader culture.
I think the choice to include the song in a SU episode, knowing that it would lead fans here, was very deliberate, subversive, and sex positive. A small example of why I love this show so much.

[@BijouluvsJewels1234]

Thank goodness I knew this song before the SUF fans and I'm a fan as well 😭 shocked to hear a non- original song but it strangely made the point across showing that it's the human world's time to shine with real music!
