If you’re unfamiliar, AlunaGeorge is a UK-based duo, with 1/2 of the act consisting of singer/songwriter Aluna Francis, and the 1/2 consisting of producer George Reid– and voila, their name was formed merging the two. They’ve built a successful sound out of electronic music that doesn’t veer too deeply into trance-like EDM territory, but rather, straddles pop, r’n’b and hip-hop lines, making for an exciting listening experience every time.
Now, the singer is venturing off as a solo artist, Aluna, and she’s debuted her first release today “Body Pump.” If you’re a fan of AlunaGeorge, you’ll love this song as well, easily. It maintains the heart-pumping, electronic quality of AlunaGeorge’s best work, with Aluna’s typically catchy vocals and minimal lyrics.
The single marks a new era for the singer, as she’s signed a record deal with Diplo-helmed label, Mad Decent, through which this song is distributed. Diplo spoke on being a fan of Aluna from afar for years in a press release announcing the news, “I’ve been a fan of Aluna for years – her voice, her style and her way of putting records together. Having her sign to Mad Decent feels like a family reunion – can’t wait to get these records out to everyone. Huge project for Mad Decent.”

Lyrics
[Verse]
I’m bad up on the weekend
Not sitting up on my own
I’ve been hiding from you too long now
So you don’t know
You think you’re tough, didn’t want to know
Living in your prison, you wouldn’t let it grow
The strength of your illusion is getting real low
Baby, look around, look around now
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, my body’s pumping all night long
I’ve been waiting for something like this
Body’s pumping, I just can’t resist
Hold on, my body’s pumping all night long
I’ve been waiting for something like this
Body’s pumping, I just can’t resist
[Chorus]
Don’t tell me to think about it
(Won’t stop me)
Don’t tell me to think about it
(Don’t make me lose my way)
‘Cause I’ve been hearing enough about it
(Won’t stop me)
Yeah, I’ve been hearing enough about it
(Don’t make me lose my way)
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, my body’s pumping all night long
I’ve been waiting for something like this
Body’s pumping, I just can’t resist
Hold on, my body’s pumping all night long
I’ve been waiting for something like this
Body’s pumping, I just can’t resist
[Chorus]
Don’t tell me to think about it
(Won’t stop me)
Don’t tell me to think about it
(Don’t make me lose my way)
‘Cause I’ve been hearing enough about it
(Won’t stop me)
Yeah, I’ve been hearing enough about it
(Don’t make me lose my way)
[Bridge]
You think you’re tough, didn’t want to know
Living in your prison, you wouldn’t let it grow
The strength of your illusion is getting real low
Baby, look around, look around now
[Chorus]
Don’t tell me to think about it
(Won’t stop me)
Don’t tell me to think about it
(Don’t make me lose my way)
‘Cause I’ve been hearing enough about it
(Won’t stop me)
Yeah, I’ve been hearing enough about it
(Don’t make me lose my way)
I’ve been hearing enough about it, yeah
(Won’t stop me)
Yeah, I’ve been hearing enough about it, yeah, yeah
(Don’t make me lose my way)
[Break]
Don’t tell me, way
Don’t tell me, way
Don’t tell me, way
Don’t tell me, way
Don’t tell me, way
Don’t tell me, way
Don’t tell me, way
Don’t tell me
[Outro]
And I’m trying to be different
Don’t make me think about it
I’m trying to be different
Don’t make me feel ashamed
I’m trying to be different
Don’t make me think about it
I’m trying to be different
Don’t make me feel ashamed
I’m trying to be different
Don’t make me think about it
I’m trying to be different
Don’t make me feel ashamed
I’m trying to be different
Don’t make me think about it
I’m trying to be different
Don’t make me feel ashamed
Won’t stop me
Don’t make me lose my way
