Fun. bestaat uit zanger Nate Ruess, pianist-basgitarist Andrew Dost en gitarist-drummer Jack Antonoff. De band wilde een naam die kort en to the point is. Eerst kwam 'ice-cream' op. Dat zou volgens hen de slechtste naam ooit zijn, maar je wordt wel blij van het woord. Zo kwamen ze op Fun.. Het geeft je een goed gevoel. Fun. schrijf je met een punt erachter, omdat er al een andere formatie is die 'Fun' heet. Zij vroegen of de band iets aan de naam kon veranderen.
Janelle Monáe werd geboren als Janelle Monáe Robinson op 1 december 1985 in Kansas City.
Fun. featuring Janelle Monae - We Are Young
Give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she’s waiting for me just across the bar
My seat’s been taken by some sunglasses asking bout a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you’re trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I’m trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Now I know that I’m not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let’s raise a toast
‘Cause I found someone to carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
The world is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home tonight
