Mungkin anda akan terkejut sendiri melihat bagaimana cepatnya bintang-bintang baru datang (dan kemudian menghilang) entah kemana rimbanya. Karena memang talenta yang masih perlu terus diasah, ataukah memang karirnya cukup mentok sampai disitu. Demi Lovato, Vanessa Hudgens adalah beberapa nama yang berusaha mengambil pasar “remaja” dengan lagu-lagu dan trik-trik bagaimana lagu mereka dipasarkan. Melalui menjadi “ikon” salah satu program atau channel televisi yang ekslusif memasang mereka. Apakah nasib Savannah Outen akan sama? Mengingat polling kesuksesan lagu ini diukur melalui program Music Mailbag milik Radio Disney.
Diawal lagu akan ada dentingan piano yang mengantarkan vokal Savannah masuk ke intro lagunya. Jangan sampai tertipu! Karena suara lembut itu akan tertambahkan suara drum dan instrument lain. Pelan-pelan kita akan menyadari bagaimana Savannah berteriak mengenai kefrustrasiannya akan hubungan yang dijalani. Ya, kemarahan. Anda bisa melihatnya dari lirik yang dilontarkan pada bagian Honestly, you had to know how much it was killing me, / I had no choice, I just had to leave. Sejenak saya teringat cara bernyanyi Avril Lavigne yang bisa dengan enteng meneriakkan akan kemuakan pada sebuah hubungan yang buruk. Emosinya begitu terasa tanpa kita perlu merasa terganggu pada cara dia bernyanyi.
Saya tidak akan menyangka bahwa vokal ini milik seseorang yang berumur 19 tahun. Ada kedewasaan didalam vokalnya. Dia bisa menjelaskan dengan tepat apa artinya “kuat” untuk seorang wanita. Silahkan dengar bagian bridge setelah refrain kedua. 'Cause all the pain that I've survived, / Made me stronger than ever before, yeah. Tune suara yang semakin meninggi dan disambut oleh refrain terakhir. Mantap!
Satu keanehan yang ada hanyalah, kenapa saya teringat image Kelly Clarkson pada track “Behind These Hazel Eyes”? dengan cara bernyanyinya dengan cara dia meluapkan emosi. Belum lagi ada beberapa beat dalam track ini yang menyerupai Battlefield nya Jordin Sparks, hahaha!
Kita lihat saja bagaimana keberuntungan Savannah dalam fighting for her life. Karena bukan hanya beruntung saja yang diperlukan untuk bisa survive di industri musik. Begitu bukan?

Savannah Outen - Fighting For My Life lyrics
You stole my words and twisted them to yours 'til there was,
Nothing left to say.
You were the chill in the air whenever I turned,
Turned away.
Honestly, you had to know how much it was killing me,
I had no choice, I just had to leave.
[Chorus:]
You tried to lock the door with me forever,
But I broke my own way out.
You tried to build a wall to tell me never,
But I was never backing down.
Oh you tried to take my wings I,
I just kept on flying.
Fighting, fighting, fighting for my life.
Did your best to twist the lie and hold me under,
'Til I couldn't see.
Tried your hardest to take and break the voice that I have,
Deep inside of me.
I can't pretend that, I didn't learn the hard way,
But never again.
You had your chance, but it just had to end.
[Chorus:]
You tried to lock the door with me forever,
But I broke my own way out.
You tried to build a wall to tell me never,
But I was never backing down.
Oh you tried to take my wings I,
I just kept on flying.
Fighting, fighting, fighting for my life.
[Bridge:]
No you won't take me crying,
No more tears fallin' on the floor.
'Cause all the pain that I've survived,
Made me stronger than ever before, yeah.
[Chorus:]
You tried to lock the door with me forever,
But I broke my own way out.
You tried to build a wall to tell me never,
But I was never backing down.
Oh you tried to take my wings I,
I just kept on flying.
Fighting, fighting, fighting for my life.
You tried to lock the door with me forever,
But I broke my own way out.
You tried to build a wall to tell me never,
But I was never backing down.
Oh you tried to take my wings I,
I just kept on flying.
Fighting, fighting, fighting for my life.
