As we approach the end of another lockdown it’s hard not to wonder will we ever be the same again. This sentiment is captured brilliantly in this brand-new feel-good pop-perfect track from Róisín O. Though written during lockdown, 2023 captures the country’s current sentiment, as things begin to open up again and we look forward with optimism & hope for the future.

Written by O with Cian McSweeney (True Tides) and produced by Phil Magee, (Kodaline, Wild Youth, The Script, The Academic, JC Stewart) 2023 is pop perfection, building enthusiastically throughout before punching through with an upbeat chorus that will have listeners heads bopping all summer.

Verse1
It’s alright if ya feel like that
It’s been a long time
Since we’ve talked like that
But please don’t walk away

Bridge
Don’t turn away, turn away from our broken love
I know it’s hard but we’ve come this far
And if we want to hold on we better cling on tight

Chorus
This is our last chance slipping away from what we used to be
2017 is all a dream
Our first dance moved so fast but where we gonna be
In 2023 we could be

Verse 2
Alright if we just try
Have courage and be kind
We’ve still got time
Just as long as we don’t
Turn away, turn away from our broken love
I know it’s hard but we’ve come this far
And if we want to hold on we better cling on tight

This is our last chance slipping away from what we used to be
2017 is all a dream
Our first dance moved so fast but where we gonna be
In 2023 it could be
Our last chance slipping away from what we used to be
2017 is all a dream
Our first dance moved so fast but where we gonna be
In 2023 it could be

Just enough
Was never us we need to
Fight That Feeling And if we try Hard enough
Then maybe we could find our healing

This is our last chance slipping away from what we used to be
2017 is all a dream
Our first dance moved so fast but where we gonna be
In 2023 it could be

Just enough
Was never us
Just enough
Was never us
