Anxious (in a good way) by Abi Muir
A love-soaked indie-pop confession of nerves, butterflies, and falling fast - "Anxious (In a Good Way)" captures the thrill of losing control to the right person.
"Anxious (In a Good Way)" is a playful, heart-on-sleeve confessional about falling fast, and feeling everything at once. Vulnerable and euphoric, the song captures that giddy in-between space where love is new, all-consuming, and a little terrifying. With lyrics that bounce between daydreams of forever and the nervous energy of “turning red,” it paints a vivid portrait of emotional surrender from someone who’s not usually one to lose control. Driven by butterflies and backed by a shimmering, melodic groove, the track blends wide-eyed honesty with a youthful, romantic optimism. It’s not just a love song - it’s about what happens when someone makes you feel completely out of character, in the best way possible. For anyone who's ever surprised themselves by how deeply they've fallen, "Anxious (In a Good Way)" will feel like a mirror.
Lyrics
Lately I've been feeling things
So unheard of
My minds always occupied
By you
Got me really putting down my pride
My ego don't like you
But I do
Yeah I get butterflies it's dumb
Take me anywhere as long as you coming
And I don't wanna jump the gun
But can we call it love?
Lately I’ve been running around
Telling all my friends
No more looking
I’ve found the one for me
Is it obvious that I’ve fallen,
I’m so glued to you
Don’t peel me off
Yeah I get butterflies it's dumb
Take me anywhere as long as you coming
And I don't wanna jump the gun
But can we call it love?
Cause I'm not an anxious person (person)
But you got me feeling nervous
Don't gotta do nothing but look at me
And I'm turning red
I don't wanna mess it up
When I get the rush
But I gotta tell you something
You make me so anxious (in a good way)
I can see a wedding
It's a fairytale ending
My vows already written in my phone
Can you hear the bells in the distance?
I can hear the bells in the distance
So put on your best suit
I already got my dress
But I don't know if I could handle
Seeing you
Cause I'm not an anxious person (person)
But you got me feeling nervous
Don't gotta do nothing but look at me
And I'm turning red
I don't wanna mess it up
When I get the rush
But I gotta tell you something
You make me so anxious (in a good way)
Anxious, Anxious
I'm so anxious when I'm around you
Anxious, Nervous
I'm so anxious when I'm around you
Yeah I get butterflies it's dumb
Take me anywhere as long as you coming
And I don't wanna jump the gun
But can we call it love?
Cause I'm not an anxious person (person)
But you got me feeling nervous
Don't gotta do nothing but look at me
And I'm turning red
I don't wanna mess it up
When I get the rush
But I gotta tell you something
You make me so anxious (in a good way)
