[Intro: Duran Duran]
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Pressure off, pressure off, pressure pressure pressure off

[Verse 1: Duran Duran]
Past is another country
The present will never last
The future, it's still tomorrow
Are we living too fast?

[Pre-Chorus: Duran Duran]
Searchlight the crowd, I'm fixed on your face
I know it well, but it's a dream I can't place
Something is happening to me
Maybe it's happening to you, you, you, you

Everybody everywhere, feel it in the air
Oh yeah, it's time to take the pressure off
Everybody everywhere, step out into the future
It's time to take the pressure off

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
It's up to you now
It's time to take the pressure off
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
It's up to you now
It's time to take the pressure off

Steppin'
Steppin'
Steppin'
It's time to take the pressure off

Swimming with the rat race
Or running against the tide
It's everybody's business when there's nowhere to hide

Searchlight the crowd, I'm fixed onto you
There's a way out of this into the blue
Something is happening to me
Maybe it's happening to you, you, you, you

Everybody everywhere, feel it in the air
Oh yeah (oh yeah), it's time to take the pressure off
Everybody everywhere, step out into the future
It's time to take the pressure off

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
It's up to you now
It's time to take the pressure off
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
It's up to you now
It's time to take the pressure off

Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Pressure off, pressure off, pressure pressure pressure off

I'm lost, don't wanna be found
I'm up and not gonna be down
Outside looking in on myself
Just me, I couldn't be anyone else
Is it bad when you're feeling this good?
Are we all misunderstood?
It's fine, going out of my mind
Going out of my mind, going out of my mind

Everybody everywhere (yeah), feel it in the air (whoo!)
Oh yeah (oh yeah), it's time to take the pressure off
Everybody everywhere, step out into the future
It's time to take the pressure off

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
It's up to you now
It's time to take the pressure off
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
It's up to you now
Step out into the future

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Jump up into the future
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Step out into the future
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Jump up into the future
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Step out into the future

Here I am... August 2024, still in love with this song!

[theresarhode]

4 decades and still ❤ Simon...awesome music ...forever

[martinkasl]

This song proves that Duran Duran is still in great shape and matures like wine ;-)

[stefoneill]

Duran Duran is, HANDS-DOWN, the most amazing and beautiful group of blokes that Dear Lord!!!!

[JoanMarie]

Started listening to them at 13. Now at 53, 40 years later, still love them!

That’s rock n roll gold

[kristiemao]

This legitimately made me smile. I love Duran Duran, and it's nice to see them collaborating with the phenomenal Janelle Monae and legendary Niles Rodgers <3

[lepoetress]

Nick is STILL serving those fashion forward looks and Simon is looking like a WHOLE MEAL out here!! They have aged well and are STILL coming with the hits.

[elecoestudioficial]

Every little thing that Rodgers touches turns into gold. The boys are great, as usual, but this man is something else. One of the best producers on earth, period.

[kashmirirose]

What's so wonderful about them is that within the composition, you could recognize each member's signature sound or voice. Total pop art.

[fredstamatatos]

So underrated! Still listening in 2022! Chime in if you still are! One of D&D's best ever!!

[butchy]

Thank you Duran Duran. Since 1984, at 14, watching The Reflex video, I was an instant fan. All these years later, I still enjoy your music. The older songs and the new. Pressure Off makes me happy. It's a fun song with a great beat. I'll be a fan for life.

[FrankBaumann-cbnh]

Once again proof of how great Duran Duran is. Of course it's a shame without Andy,
but with Nile R. on guitar and Janelle on backing voice.
Thank you Duran Duran.

[comba]

Among many other things, one of the hallmarks of why Duran Duran has lasted 40 years plus and even their most banal pop songs composed have stood the
test of time, is this incredible knack for writing killer/incredibly catchy/soaring choruses in all their songs. This is another example..

[Lucholosabe]

This should be a party anthem in the same escale that Uptown Funk. Impossible not get up and dance while listening!

[RichTake]

Janelle Monae is such a diverse artist. She's always doing new things. And how can one deny Duran Duran?

[efstathiakalliora]

So amazing this song! 2024 plus...Σας αγαπάμε και σας περιμένουμε!

[jeromelange]

One Of The Most GROOVY & Criminally Underrated Tunages...EVER....

[lileva]

DEAR GOD THERE IS NO WAY THIS COULD BE ANY BETTER, OR THEY COULD BE MORE BEAUTIFUL. I CAN'T EVEN

[lindenstromberg]

Three of my favourite acts of all time wrapped into one: Duran Duran, Nile Rodgers, and Janelle Monae

[alexisw]

Janelle Monae compliments the song very well
