Finally Free is a song by Niall Horan recorded for the 2018 film Smallfoot. It was written by Niall, along with Tobias Jesso Jr., Julian Bunetta, John Ryan and Alexander Izquierdo.
Lyrically, the song details finding personal freedom and strength from a positive relationship.
Background
The animated children's film tells the story of a Yeti (a mythical creature often referred to as "Bigfoot") discovering humans are real. With no prior indication of involvement with Smallfoot, Horan announced on social media that he had contributed Finally Free to the motion picture soundtrack on July 3, 2018[1]. The song was officially premiered three days later.
Horan spoke about being a big fan of the film, stating: "From the minute I seen a small clip from it, I was in straight away…it’s a must see"[2].
One Direction's longtime friend James Corden provides the voice for the character of Percy.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Standing here on my own
Yeah, the first step's the hardest when you're walking into the unknown
It's been dark, and it's been cold
Had my head in the clouds never knowing what lies down below
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you spoke your truth with no secrets
Told me use your heart while it's beating
[Chorus]
When you're right here beside me, there's nothing else I need
Your eyes keep me reminded that nothing's out of reach
When you're with me, it feels like I'm finally free
Feels like I'm finally free
[Verse 2]
I didn't know, didn't know what was real
Had to go to the edge and the ground just to see how it feels
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you spoke your truth with no secrets
Told me use your heart while it's beating
[Chorus]
When you're right here beside me, there's nothing else I need
Yeah, your eyes keep me reminded that nothing's out of reach
When you're with me, it feels like I'm finally free
(Woo woo)
Feel's like I'm finally free
[Bridge]
I used to spend the nights looking at the stars
Wondering how to get there, is it just too far?
I used to spend the nights looking at the stars
Wondering how to get there, is it just too far?
[Chorus]
But when you're right here beside me there's nothing else I need
Yeah, your eyes keep me reminded that nothing's out of reach
It's easy to believe
When you're with me it feels like I'm finally free
Oh yeah
It feels like I'm finally free
(Woo woo)
It feels like I'm finally free
