Check us out everywhere online @AJRBrothers

Lyrics:

This hospital’s got lots of crying kids
A minute ago I did not exist
It’s nice to finally meet my relatives
I bet it’s always gonna stay this fun
I bet it’s easy stayin’ away from drugs
I bet our parents always stay in love
Always stay in love

Me, my, oh what a life
So me and all my people gon’ be stepping in time
(Wow)
Me, my, oh what a life
So me and all my people gon’ be stepping in time

So thank you
For coming to my birthday party
I am one-minute-old today
And everything is going great
Thank you
For coming to my birthday party
I am one-minute-old today
And my minute’s been going great
And I hope it stays that way

I bet this Instagram’s a load of fun
It’s best to show the best of everyone
I bet it never bites us in the bum
I bet my ignorance is always bliss
Except ignoring pigment in our skin
I bet my country’s nice to immigrants
And that’s just how it is

Me, my, oh what a life
So me and all my people gon’ be stepping in time
(Wow)
Me, my, oh what a life

So me and all my people gon’ be stepping in time

So thank you
For coming to my birthday party
I am one-minute-old today
And everything is going great
Thank you
For coming to my birthday party
I am one-minute-old today
And my minute’s been going great
And I hope it stays that way

(In heaven
Everything is fine
In heaven
Everything is fine
You’ve got your good things
And I’ve got)

Heaven
Everything is fine
In heaven
Everything is fine
You’ve got your good things
I’ve got mine

Thank you
For coming to my birthday party

I am one-minute-old today
And everything is going great
(I’ve got mine)
Thank you
For coming to my birthday party
I am one-minute-old today
And my minute’s been going great
(I hope it stays that way)

This hospital’s got lots of crying kids
A minute ago I did not exist
It’s nice to finally meet my relatives
I bet I’ll never outgrow all my friends
I bet I’ll see a female president
Yeah, I can tell this life’ll be a cinch
And that’s just how it is

[vaprwse]

"Wait, he's about to say his first words already?"

Jack: _sings an entire song_

[bonnienakamura]

"Look, he's speaking his first words-"

[ananya.a.]

I CAN'T EVEN TELL WHAT GENRE THIS MUSIC IS??? WHAT IS THIS?? WHAT IS LIFE?? JACK, RYAN AND ADAM WHAT ARE Y'ALL THINKING

[HydNSk]

My best friend played this at her birthday before I knew that AJR made this song. It made her birthday magical and is on the topic of a lot of stuff that we talk about regularly.

All of this to say that, this song is perfect. After listening most of this album, it carries the motifs of multiple other songs and covers topics that most people don’t in their daily lives.

Thank you AJR for making my friend happy!

[psd]

With this and 100 Bad Days, Neotheater is gonna be awesome

[fool]

With AJR every new song is so different to the others but at the same time they are clearly AJR songs and I love it!

[thunderbunny-]

“so class, what did this song teach us?”
*raises hand*
“yes, little Johnny”
“Babies r really fricking naive”

[Bobomb]

amazingly he stays 1 minute old for nearly 4 minutes

[carlweaver]

Everybody gangsta ‘till the newborn starts talking about immigration

[hannahbee]

So. After hearing this twice, no, three times now, I've only just realised it's animated. Wow.

[colonbracket]

Just came out of school to see this notification pop up, couldn't be more buzzing.

[Surendertail]

For being 1 minute old his voice is phenomenal

I bet our parents always stay in love
Always stay in love

[Pre-Chorus]

In heaven, everything is fine
You got your good things

[Verse 3]
This hospital's got lots of crying kids
A minute ago, I did not exist
It's nice to finally meet my relatives
I bet I'll never outgrow all my friends
I bet I'll see our female president
Yeah, I can tell this life will be a cinch
And that's just how it is

[yxwns]

I really like the detail that at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00 they say "i'm one minute old now"

[nayanihil]

Wow this song has such a fun, upbeat, whimsical sound but the lyrics are so impactful and ironic. And it’s just such an amazing duo.

[jasminedominguez]

"I bet our parents always stay in love" hits differently now that My Play came out

[futuremiIf]

I think this is the most ironic song I’ve ever heard in my life and I loved every second of it

[ladedadedayoh]

AJR: I'm one minute old today!
*Two minutes later*
AJR: I'm one minute old today!
Me: ExCuSe Me, WtF?

[stavshriki]

* first listening *
It's really weird.

* Second listening *
Still weird but there's something interesting

* Third listening *
Weird and I LOVE it

[MBLexi]
