Rachel Platten - Fight Song(#ad)
Many successful artists take a short route to success. That is because they find better connection along the way or get acquainted with mentors early in their career.
Such was not the case for unknown artists like Rachel Platten. Unlike most artists, it took longer for this pianist to get attention via the mainstream media. Let alone getting a Record Label to sign her first song.
Who is Rachel Platten? She is an American singer and songwriter. She released her first song, "Fight Song" early 2015 (on feb the 19th).Platten wrote this song for two years.
She wrote several verses to get the right lyrics for the song. Many times while writing the lyrics, the singer felt like quitting music and start a entirely different career.
Through the song, she got the answer.. to continue fighting. This song came out in late 2014. At that time, Platten was unsigned artist. The song got attention when it played on the 2014 ABC show Pretty Little liars.
That was the time when everybody started Googling the song to know the name of the artist. That's when Columbia Records signed Rachel Platten as their artist.
And later released the song in their album.From then on, Rachel Platten's career as an artist took off, with a perfect launch pad called Columbia Records.

During Hillary Clinton's campaign, it was also used as an official theme song that corresponded with the her slogan 'fight for US'.
During her audition to the eleventh season of America's Got Talent, Calyster Bevier sang the song. Rachel Platten sang this song to empower people to never give up in their life, however bleak the situation looks.

Rachel Platten - Fight Song - Lyrics
Release Date - February 19,2015
Album - Fight Song and Wildfire
Like a small boat on the ocean
Sending big waves into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream th em loud tonight
Can you hear my voice?
This time this is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My powers turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care
If nobody else believes
Cause I've still got
A lot of fight left in me
Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep they say I'm in too deep
And it's been two years
I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
And I still believe yeah I still believe
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice?
This time this is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My powers turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care
If nobody else believes
Cause I've still got
A lot of fight left in me
A lot of fight left In me
Like a small boat on the ocean
Sending big waves into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My powers turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
(I'll be strong)
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care
If nobody else believes
Cause I've still got
A lot of fight left in me
Now I've still got a lot of fight left in me
