Written as a snapshot of our current moment in time, the song serves as an acknowledgement of the hard times we’ve been through together in the last year as well as a celebration of our shared hope for the future. Full lyrics below.  Michaelson explains, “I wrote ‘To Begin Again’ the night that Biden won. There was so much joy in my neighborhood. Pots and pans being banged out of windows. Horns and whistles. Clapping. Singing! The collective sigh of relief resonated with me in such a way that I had to get it out musically. I sat at the piano and wrote most of the song right there in 15 minutes. Sarah Aarons helped me finish it, most notably writing the second verse, and when she sang it on the demo, I knew the song had to be a duet. I love ZAYN’s voice, especially when he goes high and sweet and sad. It was the perfect fit. The song is a song of hope and of release. Of beginning again… 
Today’s release is the latest in a long creative streak for Michaelson, who has established herself as an artistic force over the course of eight full-length albums that have explored diverse genres. Last year, she received her first Emmy Award nomination for her original song “Build It Up” from the hit series, Little Fires EverywhereA lifelong Broadway fan, Michaelson made her stage debut in 2017, starring in Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 and will soon make her creative debut with her musical adaptation of the best-selling novel, The Notebook.

               
                                               
                                                                               

“To Begin Again” Lyrics:
                                When the world was ending
                                I’d hold you in my arms
                                And we talked about the places we’d never been
                                When the world was ending
                                We’d hold on to the past
                                Because it’s all we thought that we would ever see
                                But then the sun came right back
                                And the birds sang as if nothing had happened
                                And, it’s alright
                                It’s ok
                                We will get
                                Another day
                                To begin again, to begin again, to begin again
                                I don’t know how
                                I don’t know why
                                But I know that I will try
                                To begin again, to begin again, to begin
                                To live and love and breathe again
                                (ZAYN)
                                When the world was ending
                                We looked up at the sky
                                And we talked about the last song that we’d play
                                So far from comprehending
                                They’d lift us to the stars
                                Never seen each other from so far away
                                But then the sun came right back
                                And the kids played as if nothing had happened
                                And, it’s alright
                                It’s ok
                                We will get
                                Another day
                                To begin again, to begin again, to begin again
                                I don’t know how
                                I don’t know why
                                But I know that I will try
                                To begin again, to begin again, to begin
                                To live and love and breathe again
                                And cry because I’m happy
                                And hold my friends like long lost lovers
                                Be kind to me and love each other
                                The world keeps spinning on
                                It’s alright
                                It’s ok
                                We will get another day
                                 
                                I don’t know how
                                I don’t know when
                                But I do know that we can
                                Try to begin again, to begin again
                                To begin to live and love and breathe again
