Clean Bandit, Sean Paul & Anne-Marie - 'Rockabye' (Live At The Summertime Ball 2017)

11 June 2017, 18:45

Clean Bandit, Sean Paul and Anne-Marie joined forces for the most iconic performance of their huge hit ‘Rock-A-Bye’ ever at the #CapitalSTB!

When you’ve got three incredible acts like these all on one line up, it’d be rude not to get them to perform one of the biggest tracks of 2016 wouldn’t it?

‘Rock-A-Bye’ hit the number one spot on charts around the world and even held on to the number one crown on Christmas Day 2016 having already been at the top for several weeks – not a bad achievement!

The noise from the crowd when Sean Paul and Anne-Marie joined Clean Bandit on the #CapitalSTB stage for the final song of their set was mind-blowing and they didn’t disappoint. Turning the Wembley stage into their own party, this is one #CapitalSTB performance that’ll 100% go down in the history books.

Weren’t lucky enough to attend the ball? Never fear - you can catch up with Clean Bandit’s breath-taking set with the video above. Not a bad way to make your #CapitalSTB debut!

Clean Bandit ‘Rockabye’ Lyrics

Call it love and devotion
Call it the mom’s adoration (foundation)
A special bond of creation, hah
For all the single mums out there
Going through frustration
Clean Bandit, Sean-Da-Paul, Anne-marie, sing, make them hear

She works the night, by the water
She's gonna stress, so far away from her father's daughter
She just wants a life for her baby
All on her own, no one will come
She's got to save him (daily struggle)

She tells him "ooh love"
No one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you (stay up there, stay up there)
She tells him "your life ain't gonna be nothing like my life (straight)
You're gonna grow and have a good life
I'm gonna do what I've got to do" (stay up there, stay up there)

So, rockabye baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Rockabye, no (Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye) (oh)
Rockabye, yeah, yeah (Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye)

Single mom what you doing out there?
Facing the hard life without no fear
Just see and know that you really care
'Cause any obstacle come you well prepared
And no mamma you never shed tear
'Cause you haffi set things year after year
And you give the youth love beyond compare
You find the school fee and the bus fare
Hmmmm more when paps disappear
In a wrong bar can't find him nowhere
Steadily you work flow, heavily you know so you nah stop
No time no time fi a jeer

Now she gotta a six year old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep all the cold
When he looks her in the eyes
He don't know he's safe when she says

"Ooh love"
No one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you

So, rockabye baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry (Bidda-bang-bang-bang, alright then)
Rockabye, no (Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye) (Oh)
Rockabye, yeah (Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye) (yeah)

Rockabye don't bother cry
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky, yo
Rockabye don't bother cry
Angels around you, just joy your eye

Now she gotta a six year old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep all the cold
When he looks her in the eyes
He don't know he's safe when she says

So, rockabye baby, rockabye (Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye)
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry (Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye)
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, rockabye (Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye)
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry (Bidda-bang-bang-bang, alright then)
Rockabye

Rockabye don't bother cry
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky, yo (Rockabye!)
Rockabye don't bother cry (yeah yeah)
Angels around you, just joy your eye (Rockabye!)

Rockabye don't bother cry
Lift up your head, lift it up to the sky, yo (Rockabye!)
Rockabye don't bother cry
Angels around you, just joy your eye
