Released : 2017
Genre : Pop
Remember when I used to be happy for you
Could go out with your female friends and I’d be totally fine
Remember when you used to be happy for me
You’d celebrate all my success without crossing a line
Now it’s like we’re scared of getting good
Cause we know the truth is that we could
Yeah we know that we might actually work
And the truth is that we could
But maybe it’s the worst in me
That’s bringing out the worst in you
I know we could fix these kinks
But the worst in me doesn’t want to
Work on things
But the best in me wants to love you
But the worst in me doesn’t want to
It’s almost like I’ve gotten so used to resentment
That every annoying little thing you say has lost it’s effect
It’s almost like it’s made you a little bit bitter
When I don’t always react the way you expect
It’s like we’re scared of getting good
Cause we know the truth is that we could
Yeah we know that we might actually work
And the truth is that we could
But maybe it’s the worst in me
Bringing out the worst in you
I know we could fix these kinks
But the worst in me doesn’t want to
Work on things
But the best in me wants to love you
But the worst in me doesn’t want to
I won’t hurt you again if you won’t, if you won’t
And baby I won’t lose you again if you won’t, if you won’t
Remember when I use to be happy for you
But maybe it’s the worst in me
That’s bringing out the worst in you
I know we could fix these kinks
But the worst in me doesn’t want to
Work on things
But the best in me wants to love you
But the worst in me doesn’t want to

In the last three years, our new LIFT artists Julia Michaels has positioned herself as a songwriting force in pop music. The 23-year-old, who grew up in Santa Clarita, California, had a hand in crafting “Miss Moving On” for Fifth Harmony, and ever since, she’s aligned herself with some of the biggest names in music, clocking co-writing credits with Justin Bieber (“Sorry”), Hailee Steinfeld (“Love Myself”) and Selena Gomez (“Hands To Yourself”). Jason Derulo recorded her “Trade Hearts” and gave her a feature vocal on his ‘Everything Is 4’ album. Michaels has been writing poetry since childhood, and when her mom brought a piano into their home when Julia was 12, she began to blend her words with music. These days, the depth of her artistry is being recognized by critics and fans alike, and she’s not only crafting hits for others, but blossoming into the performing artist she’s always wanted to be. Her first big show was on a global stage, closing the 2016 Olympics in Brazil with Kygo, singing “Carry Me” to fans around the world. To kick off her LIFT cycle, Michaels performed “Worst In Me” in a stripped-down setting in LA, Great performance. Stay close to Vevo for an extended profile piece that will explain how music-making is central to Julia’s life.
