Don Diablo:“I wrote ‘Congratulations’i n a moment of reflection while I was recording parts of my upcoming ‘FOREVER’ album in Los Angeles. Most of my life, I have been working every single day towards an invisible goal that sometimes seems unreachable. There are days when nothing you do seems good enough and the weight on your shoulders gets heavier and heavier. Sometimes you need to look at your life from a helicopter view so you can see all the amazing things that have happened in your past. It will make you enjoy your future even more. This song is about congratulating yourself, which, in essence, in something you should be doing as often as you can. I am super excited I got to work on the song with the supremely talented Brando, whose vocals are the perfect fit for the story I wanted to tell.”

Lyrics – Congratulation
Dreaming, dreaming bout the days that were good Take me, take me back to music in my room All my life I’ve been searching Looking for something perfect That only lead me back to blue Might be a little broken But I’ve got my eyes wide open I’m gonna say it til it’s true Lately I’ve been stable I don’t need no label Fuck congratulations No more expectations Don’t care bout my FOMO I’ve been riding solo So congratulations So congratulations Daily, daily I’ve been reaching for the stars Made it, made it but I only got so far All my life I’ve been searching Looking for something perfect That only lead me back to blue Might be a little broken But I’ve got my eyes wide open I’m gonna say it til it’s true Lately I’ve been stable I don’t need no label Fuck congratulations No more expectations Don’t care bout my FOMO I’ve been riding solo So congratulations So congratulations Can’t do this over again and over again and over again I know it’s hard to admit, it’s hard to admit, it’s hard to admit It’s half quarter past 10, I wanna give in, I wanna give in Can’t do this over again and over again Lately I’ve been stable I don’t need no label Fuck congratulations No more expectations Don’t care bout my FOMO I’ve been riding solo So congratulations So congratulations Lately I’ve been stable I don’t need no label Fuck congratulations No more expectations Don’t care bout my FOMO I’ve been riding solo So congratulations So congratulation Follow Brando on Twitter/Instagram/Facebook/Spotify
