about

"Just As You Are" tells a story of learning self-love, confidence, and acceptance: all pertinent messages to hear and spread during pride month. The song's emotional inspiration comes from a need for someone to see and love themselves the way that you do for them. Coming from different musical influences, Christina Li and Elitrax have created a truly original sound, seamlessly blending EDM, pop, and neo-soul. Li's alluring vocals meet Elitrax's tight production in this unique summer anthem.

lyrics

When you and I met
You were picking out the pieces
Lodged in so deep, you thought they were a part of you
So when I tell you how beautiful you are in this light
Do you feel the pain, still?

You wanna smooth out all the jagged edges
Girl, I don't care about what's missing
You're so much more than what you're not
Baby you've got time
You've got so much of the world to see
In this moment, you and me
There's nothing more that you gotta be

'Cause I want you
And I need you
Just as you are
Can I love you
Can I see you
For all that you can be
So take a look at yourself in the mirror
Through my eyes, babe might help you see clearer
No I ain't going anywhere
There's nothing to compare

Just as you are
Just as, just, just, just
Just as you are

And I know something 'bout the feeling
Like you're chasing the sun til you break
And there's nothing left for me to say that could
Change the way that you're thinking
It's gotta come from somewhere deep inside you
I'll, I'll help you find it

'Cause I want you
And I need you
Just as you are
Can I love you
Can I see you
For all that you can be
So take a look at yourself in the mirror
Through my eyes, babe might help you see clearer (help me)
No I ain't going anywhere
There's nothing to compare

When you find the strength to stand your ground
Just know that I'll be by your side, watching with pride
And 'til the day that you can say this for yourself
Just know that I will hold you tight
We'll live in spite of all the self-doubt
When you find the strength to stand your ground
Just know that I'll be by your side, watching with pride
And 'til the day that you can say this for yourself
Just know that I will hold you tight
We'll live in spite of all the self-doubt

'Cause I want you
And I need you
Just as you are
Can I love you
Can I see you
For all that you can be
So take a look at yourself in the mirror
Through my eyes, babe might help you see clearer (help me)
No I ain't going anywhere
There's nothing to compare

Just as you are
Just as, just, just, just
Just as you are
Just as you are
Just as, just, just, just
Just as you are
