The Story Behind The Hit Song "Cheerleader"
I don't usually share these kinds of things, but the story behind the hit song "Cheerleader" is amazing :)

You probably have heard of the song "Cheerleader" by Jamaican singer, OMI and got hooked with the catchy and feel good tune to it. But apparently, there's more to this song than it may seem. I came across this video from Facebook and found it interesting. It even reminded me of the quote, "Behind every great man is a great woman". This song truly shows how true the quote is. Watch the video and find out. :)

So it took him 6 years for this song to be a hit. But as they say, "better late than never". (Wow, 1 quote in a blog post already, LOL). Below is OMI's newest version of the song "Cheerleader".
"Cheerleader (Felix Jaehn Remix)" by OMI

[Verse 1:]
When I need motivation
My one solution is my queen
'Cause she stays strong
Yeah, yeah
She is always in my corner
Right there when I want her
All these other girls are tempting
But I'm empty when you're gone
And they say

[Pre-hook:]
Do you need me?
Do you think I'm pretty?
Do I make you feel like cheating?
And I'm like no, not really 'cause

[Hook:]
Oh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her
Oh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her

[Verse 2:]
She walks like a model
She grants my wishes
Like a genie in a bottle
Yeah, yeah
'Cause I'm the wizard of love
And I got the magic wand
All these other girls are tempting
But I'm empty when you're gone
And they say

[Pre-hook:]
Do you need me?
Do you think I'm pretty?
Do I make you feel like cheating?
And I'm like no, not really 'cause

[Hook:]
Oh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her
Oh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge:]
She gives me love and affection
Baby, did I mention
You're the only girl for me
No, I don't need a next one
Mama loves you too
She thinks I made the right selection
Now all that's left to do
Is just for me to pop the question

[Hook:]
Oh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her
Oh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her
