## Lyrics

Feet don't fail me now
Don't fail me now
Don't fail me now
You're all I got
So, feet don't fail me now
Don't fail me now
Don't fail me now
You're all I got

You were all my riches
Spent my love 'till there was nothing left
You were all my sickness
But you cured me of my loneliness
And our love fades
Nothing left here to say
The ghost of us is fading
And that's what I was chasing
I got faith, saying it'll be okay
Step by step, I know I'll make it through

So, I'm saying, oh, now
Gotta go now
Oh, no, nothing's gonna bring me down
So I gotta reach out
There's a way out
Praying, feet don't fail me now
You're all I got
Hey
Hey

Second chances
Don't come easy like they did the first time
All the neighbors
Knew it was done before you and I
And now love fades
Nothing left here to say
The ghost of us is fading
And that's what I was chasing
I got faith, saying it'll be okay
Step by step, I know I'll make it through

So, I'm saying, oh, now
Gotta go now
Oh, no, nothing's gonna bring me down
So I gotta reach out
There's a way out
Praying, feet don't fail me now
Take what you want, babe
Take what you need, babe
You can have it all, but you can't have me
So, I'm saying, oh, now
Gotta go now
Praying feet don't fail me now
Don't fail me
Don't fail me
Don't fail me now
You're all I got
Don't fail me
Don't fail me
Don't fail me now
You're all I got
Feet don't fail, don't fail me now
Feet don't fail, don't fail me now
Feet don't fail, don't fail me now
You're all I got
Feet don't fail, don't fail me now
Feet don't fail, don't fail me now
Feet don't fail, don't fail me now
You're all I got
Feet don't fail me now
Don't fail me now
Don't fail me now
You're all I got

## Background

The music video first released on the H&M official YouTube channel to promote their summer catalogue. The song was later uploaded on to Foxes' own YouTube channel.

## Music video

A music video accompanied the release of the song. The song's music video was filmed in the eastern Kent coastal town of Margate. It finds Foxes play the older sister of a young boy, whom she helps blossom as a dancer.

 She told *NME*:

*"When I'm writing songs I always have an idea of what the music video's gonna be. Like 'Feet Don't Fail Me Now' – I had this idea, kind of Billy Elliot-inspired. I wanted to find a young dancer that was not too trained, just very naturally talented."*

### Synopsis

The music video shows Foxes being the pillar of a family. She has to control her crazy mother, and be the real mother and father of his little brother, who has to hear every day her crazy mother causing trouble at home yelling at her poor sister Foxes.

The younger brother has a longer storyline in it. One day he finally gets the courage to attend a ballerina class for little girls to show off his innate talent for contemporary dancing.
