Lyrics
I feel that the night is coming now I gotta move on faster, this can be no disaster I know that the game is on And when I start there is no way to return Feeling the high energy That rushes through my blood, rushes through my blood The rhythm takes me higher and it makes me lose control Oh, oh, what we love, top the charts Get a higher level and reach for the stars Oh, oh, what we love, top the charts Get a higher emotion Oh, oh, what we love, top the charts When the arrow's coming and we can go far oh, oh, what we love, top the charts Tonight is the motion

Song Production Information
Jamie
Well I always loved NAOKI and the rest of BEMANI, so I wanted to
produce a track that would say "DDR & Retro",
something that would bring us back to the beginning of the DDR
History. So I modeled it after NAOKI and classic DDR
sound. So me and my best friend music partner Dave have teamed
up for this, along side our wonderful singer Hanna from
the famous group SMiLE.dk!

This one really feels like a signature song for DDR. With the melody
line we composed the female vocalist Hanna,
who is from the newest Smile.dk album Around the World, truely
brings you into the song. When you
play this song, you truly feel like you are playing, DDR!
(Dave)
Hanna
When I was writing the lyrics, I wanted it to inspire and hype the
players to play better and feel really positive about
themselves and get them to "reach for the stars". The lyrics
are about being excited to come home and play your favorite
game! So you feel the excitement rushing in your body and you just
can't wait to get to a higher level and feel really positive.
