Here I Am / Princesses Just Want To Have Fun Lyrics – Jennifer Waris and Tiffany Giardina



Soundtrack Album: Barbie Princess & The Popstar
Here I Am / Princesses Just Want To Have Fun Text
[KEIRA, TORI]

When I was young
I played for fun
Made up the words
Nobody heard
But now I see
All eyes on me
And suddenly
I'm in a dream

I got a feeling now
Everything's right somehow

Here I am
Being who I want
Giving what I got
Never a doubt now
Here I go
Burning like a spark
Light up the dark again

I wake up in the morning light
The Duchess says "When you gonna live your life right?"
I know she thinks that I'm the fortunate one
But princesses wanna have fun
Oh, princesses wanna have

That's all we really want
Is some fun
When the royal day is done
Princesses wanna have fun

I'm stepping up
Right to the top
That's how I'm wired
I take it higher
I'm in control
I broke the mould
The girl you see
Is up to me

I'm lifting off the ground
Finding the perfect sound

Here I am
Being who I want
Giving what I got
Never a doubt now
Here I go
Burning like a spark
Light up the dark again
Again
Again
Again
Again and again and again

Princesses wanna have fun
Oh, princesses wanna have fun

There's a star that's right inside you
So come on and let it out
Find out what you're about and just shout
"Here I Am"

Being who I want
Giving what I got
Never a doubt now
Here I go
Burning like a spark
Light up the dark again

We just wanna
We just wanna
We just wanna
We just wanna
We just wanna
We just wanna
Princesses wanna have fun

Here I am
Being who I want
Giving what I got
Never a doubt now
Here I go
Burning like a spark
Light up the dark again
Again
Again
Again
Again and again and again

This uplifting track blends the personal empowerment anthem "Here I Am" with the playful reinterpretation of Cyndi Lauper’s classic "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" in a uniquely Barbie fashion. Keira and Tori, the protagonists of *The Princess & The Popstar*, bring their respective styles to life, with Keira's verses embodying self-confidence and individuality, and Tori's lines capturing the carefree spirit of a princess rebelling against expectations.

Historical Inspiration

The song draws inspiration from the themes of breaking free and self-expression, echoing Lauper's original message but adapting it to a younger audience. The duality of the characters adds depth, intertwining themes of duty and the joy of embracing one’s true self.

Key Imagery and Metaphors

The pre-chorus and chorus are pivotal, where Keira declares, "Here I am, being who I want," emphasizing a journey of self-discovery. The metaphors of "burning like a spark" and "lighting up the dark" symbolize confidence and resilience. Meanwhile, Tori's verses about princesses wanting fun juxtapose the pressures of royalty with a desire for freedom, using humor to challenge societal norms.
