My Pledge (Original)

Type: Official
Writers: Grace Vanderwaal
Times Performed: 2

Notes

Written by Grace as a "Virginity Anthem" for her character Vesta Sweetwater in Francis Ford Coppola's 2024 film, "Megalopolis". Vesta is a huge and (ostensibly) very young pop star who takes donations to keep her virginity. (read more on the performance page for Megalopolis). This is - as far as we know -- the first time Grace had written a song "to order."

We got the first glimpse of the song all the back in December 2022 when Grace played a snippet of the chorus of the song online.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I always thought that
It wasn’t true
That in the darkness
The light came through
And then I found it
The missing key
Right there inside me
Gods purity

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m reaching out
See through the clouds
Stand with me now
And lose all doubt

Cause I’m here now
(I’m reaching out)
You have my vow
(See through the clouds)
Serenity
(Stand with me now)
Is found with me

[Chorus]
I’ll stand
Under the sun
Hear my song and hear my prayer
I’ll pledge
My purity
It’s my promise, it’s my swear
See upcoming pop shows
Get tickets for your favorite artists

[Post-Chorus]
My pledge, my pledge
It’s my swear
My pledge, my pledge

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m reaching out
See through the clouds
Stand with me now
And lose your doubt

I’ll pledge
(Cause I’m here now)
(I’m reaching out)
My purity
(You have my vow)
(See through the clouds)
It’s my promise, it’s my swear

[Bridge]

I know you
I feel you
I see you
I hear you
I’ve been down the roads you’ve been down cause I am you


I know you
I feel you
I see you
I hear you
I’ve been down the roads you’ve been down cause I am you

I know you
I feel you
I see you
I hear you
I’ve been down the roads you’ve been down cause I am you

I know, oh
(I know you)
Oh, oh
(I feel you)
(I see you)
(I hear you)
(I’ve been down the roads you’ve been down cause I am you)

I know
(I know you)
I see you
(I feel you)
(I see you)
(I hear you)
I feel you
I hear you
(I’ve been down the roads you’ve been down cause I am you)
