Rhythm Inside

## Single by Calum Scott

"**Rhythm Inside**" is a song by English singer-songwriter Calum Scott. It was released on 25 November 2016 as the second single and third track from his debut studio album, *Only Human* (2016).

He described it as "the polar opposite of 'Dancing on My Own'", where he wanted to make it more "hopeful" and "positive". He continued, "The concept is about those feelings you have when you meet that special person. I see it as the exciting inner journey you go through—I imagine the blood rushing through your veins, your hair standing on end, and the flutters you have in your belly. Most people have had that feeling about someone at some point and it's nice to be able to write something hopeful".

## Background

Scott first premiered it live whilst supporting Jamie Lawson's self-titled UK tour. On 17 November 2016, he announced the release date and revealed the cover artwork.

The official music video, directed by Howard Greenhalgh, was published to Scott's YouTube channel on 18 January 2017.

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Verse 1]

So many eyes I can see

I'm static and I can't move my feet

From the moment that you stood next to me

Feeling manic, I forgot how to speak

[Pre-Chorus]

There's a rhythm inside that I can't slow down

In this moment in time, no I won't stop now

Or give up, my hand's up, for love

And there's a rhythm inside that I can't slow down

In this moment in time, no I won't stop now

Give up, my hands up, for love

[Chorus]

It feels like I can be the one for your love

Come show me what you're feeling

It feels like I can be the one for your love

Come show me how you're feeling

Come show me

Come show me what you're feeling

Come show me how you're feeling

(show me what you're feeling)

[Verse 2]

Time only knows how to heal

Feels like magic, I don't know if this is real

When the lights go out and my feet

Don't even wanna touch the ground

I feel the panic of my world turned upside down

[Pre-Chorus]

There's a rhythm inside that I can't slow down

In this moment in time, no I won't stop now

Or give up, my hand's up, for love

And there's a rhythm inside that I can't slow down

In this moment in time, no I won't stop now

Give up, my hands up, for love

[Chorus]

It feels like I can be the one for your love

Come show me what you're feeling

It feels like I can be the one for your love

Come show me how you're feeling

Come show me

Come show me what you're feeling

Come show me how you're feeling

(Show me what you're feeling)
