Put Your Hearts Up

Put Your Hearts Up is the debut single of American singer and actress Ariana Murphy. The song was intended for Ariana's debut album Daydreamin'.

Recording and writing
The writer of this song has been reported incorrectly. Ariana did not write the single with Linda Perry for Grande's upcoming debut album set to be released in early 2012. The song was actually written by BC Jean (best known for Beyonce's "If I Were A Boy") in a co-write with Matt Squire and Martin Johnson and includes a sample of "Hey Yey Yey" from the song What's Up? written by Perry for 4 Non Blondes debut album.

Trivia

 * The song has relatively simple lyrics, emphasizing that one only needs to put one's heart into anything to make a difference, no matter who you are.

Lyrics
Let me see you put your hearts up, yeah Let me see you put your hearts up, yeah If we give a little love, maybe we can change the world (change the world)

You think you're so small Like you're itty bitty. Just one match in the lights of the city Walking by strangers on the side of the street Like a quarter in a cup'll get 'em up on their feet, like You think you're never gonna make your mark Sit back and watch the world while it falls apart, like Out of sight, out of mind, like, like It's just a waste of time, Like, like, like

Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah Hey yeah yeah If we give a little love Maybe we can change the world (change the world) I said Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah Hey yeah yeah Sing it if you're with me All you boys and all you girls

Let me see you put your hearts up, yeah Let me see you put your hearts up, yeah If we give a little love maybe we can change the world (change the world)

Wishing well, shooting star in the sky We can do anything if we try Can't resurrect Gandhi, resurrect king But if we put our heads together We can do anything like You don't have to be a billionaire You don't have to have much to show how much you care Like give a wink, give a kiss Like give a little happiness Like like like

Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah Hey yeah yeah If we give a little love Maybe we can change the world (change the world) I said Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah Hey yeah yeah Sing it if you're with me All you boys and all you girls

Let me see you put your hearts up, yeah Let me see you put your hearts up, yeah If we give a little love maybe we can change the world (yeah)

Don't let em bring you down now, down now Don't let em bring you down now, down now Ain't got nothing but love now, love now Ain't got nothing but love now, love now Don't let em bring you down now, down now Don't let em bring you down now, down now Ain't got nothing but love now, love now Ain't got nothing but love now, love now!

Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah Hey yeah yeah If we give a little love Maybe we can change the world (change the world) I said Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah Hey yeah yeah Sing it if you're with me All you boys and all you girls

Let me see you put your hearts up, yeah Let me see you put your hearts up, yeah If we give a little love maybe we can change the world

Let me see you put your hearts up, yeah Let me see you put your hearts up, yeah If we give a little love maybe we can change the world

Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah
