About 10/10

In “10/10,” Rex Orange County sings about self-improvement and aspiring to be a “ten.” The song was first performed live at the Glastonbury Festival on 30th June in Worthy Farm, UK, where he disclosed to the audience that it would come out soon. Two months later, Rex teases the release of it by posting a 10-second-long snippet on all his social media accounts. Later, on September 12th, Rex performed the song on BBC Radio 1 hosted by Annie Mac and the subsequent music video was released on YouTube. .

10/10 Lyrics

[00:00.52] I had a think about my oldest friends
[00:03.36] Now, I no longer hang with them
[00:05.86] And I can't wait to be home again
[00:10.85] I had a year that nearly sent me off the edge
[00:14.31] I feel like a five, I can't pretend
[00:16.77] But if I get my shit together this year
[00:19.93] Maybe I'll be a ten
[00:21.99] Help myself a little better
[00:24.43] 'Cause it's getting tirin'
[00:27.22] And I can't wait for the summer
[00:29.97] Now, I'm gonna need a moment
[00:32.19] I did it again, I did it again
[00:36.40] No control over my emotions
[00:39.01] One year on and I still can't focus
[00:41.72] I did it again, yeah
[00:42.92] I did it, I did it again
[00:46.70] Twelve rounds in, fightin' solo
[00:49.29] But nobody wins when it ends
[00:51.86] We'll be placin' memories in frames
[00:54.26] Invitin' people 'round to stay
[00:56.74] And always owning up to things, to things
[01:01.71] 'Cause, after all, I guess it all depends upon
[01:05.28] The people you choose and where you're from
[01:07.81] If so, I've been so lucky, so far, it's outrageous
[01:11.83] I won't complain (no)
[01:13.14] I'll give myself a little credit
[01:15.64] Since I dealt with all the pain
[01:18.41] Yeah, I turned superhero
[01:21.05] I'm comin' in Bruce Wayne
[01:23.08] Yeah, I did it again, I did it again (I did it again, I did it again)
[01:27.13] But this time I took control and turned my shit 'round
[01:30.26] Sometimes, you gotta cut a bitch out
[01:32.75] I'm livin' again, yeah
[01:34.19] I'm livin', I'm livin' again
[01:37.69]
[01:53.12] Now, I'm safe and sound where I belong
[01:55.56] It took all my strength to carry on
[01:58.17] And though it's still hard work to find the words
[02:00.75] I'm still gonna write this fuckin' song
[02:03.26] 'Cause, after all, I guess it all depends upon
[02:06.50] The people you choose and where you're from
[02:09.37]
