Hi Dave.

Love the concept for the song. I think the song is really good. The only area that I think could be improved is the bridge. You already show in verse 2 how she feels so good in her skin (ripped jeans, six string and sandals). Currently, I don’t think the bridge either adds anything new to the information in the song or doesn’t create enough of a musical climax leading into the final chorus.

Food for thought. Hope this helps.

Settling In
by Dave Undis and Tara Shannon

VERSE
I hear you mama, you only want what's best for me.
I didn't figure out until now that best might be
Letting go, laying low,
And taking time to breathe.

CHORUS
I'm not settling, just settling in.
For the first time I'm doing right by me, myself, and I.
Right down to my bones I feel so good in my skin.
I'm not settling, just settling in.

VERSE
Closing big deals in high heels, working eighty hour weeks.
I'm done with that, ain't going back. I know what I need.
My ripped jeans, my six-string,
And sandals on my feet.

CHORUS
I'm not settling, just settling in.
For the first time I'm doing right by me, myself, and I.
Right down to my bones I feel so good in my skin.
I'm not settling, just settling in…

BRIDGE
…to
Where I'm at,
What makes me sing,
What makes me dance,
And I’m so good, so right.
I finally know who I am.

CHORUS
I'm not settling, just settling in.
For the first time I'm doing right by me, myself, and I.
Right down to my bones I feel so good in my skin.
I'm not settling, just settling in.

CHORUS
I'm not settling, just settling in.
For the first time I'm doing right by me, myself, and I.
Right down to my bones I feel so good in my skin.
I'm not settling, just settling in.
I'm not settling, just settling in.
