Are you kidding me?! Get this show to Broadway.

[tylerbauer]

I've fallen in love with this man's voice and his expression while singing. Like omg I need this to get to Broadway soon.

[andrewmckibbin]

This gives me big Dear Evan Hansen vibes with your vocal ranges and pop like melodies

[captaincl]

Why is this not touring already? I need more.

[chenlery]

the slightly giggly delivery around the middle of the song is so good. my heart's all fluttery!!

[westernsky]

Oh this kid has pipes and the ability to make his face move with the story and emotions! Acting and star quality, kiddo!!

[BloodofaFool]

im not a big musical person and not sure how i came upon this but half the songs i've heard from this show are bops and sung with such passion. I've had this song stuck in my head for weeks.

Lyrics for anyone who wants it:

I should have known it right away
I felt it when you walked inside the room
Something pulling me right in
Right in towards you
And now I'm gonna make a stupid confession
And now I'm gonna maybe seem a bit weird
But my heart always beats a little faster
And harder when I'm near
Somebody from
O-o-o-ohio
Why could it possibly be?
O-o-o-ohio
What is it you're doing
What is it you're doing to me?
So, look I've never been there once
But if I did I probably would explode
If everyone there is like you get me right on that road
Cause any other place is out of the question
I kind of have it all made up in my mind
And my heart just repeats a simple habit
Whenever I find
Somebody from
O-o-o-ohio
I'm thinking that you must be
From o-o-o-ohio
Cause you seem to do it
Cause you seem to do it to me
O-o-o-ohio
Why could it possibly be, yeah?
O-o-o-ohio
What is it you're doing
What is it you're doing to me?
Every time I feel the fate
Every time I feel the state of you
My heart sings la da da da da da da da da
Even though you haven't told me
Right away you've gone and sold me oh!
It's a crazy thing I know!
O-o-o-ohio
Why could it possibly be, yeah?
O-o-o-ohio
Always, always, always do it to me
Na na na na na
My heart sings
Na na na na na
My heart sings
Na na na na na
Whatever it is you do it to me
Whatever it is you do it to me
Freakin' Ohio!
You do it to me"

I can’t help but smile every time I hear this! So uplifting, and stunningly performed!

[uWu-fplc]

I love the rawness in the live version but this actually also quite a bomb 😳😳😳 the voice blends so well with the instruments, it feels like a part 2 of the same song where there's more relief and comfort I love it

[riko-sw]

I'm a high school student in Japan, and a big fan of this song.
I want to see this musical so badly, please bring this show to Broadway! I would love to go to there after graduation!!<3
(Sorry my English isn't very good.)

[mikowolfe]

this feels like the nerdy mc showing off their secret talent during "the singing competition" and starts confessing to their crush through song while looking at the said crush. ❤☺️
