        In 2021, Spencer-Smith became further known internationally when her self-released song "Fingers Crossed" reached the top 20 in numerous countries, including the US, and peaked within the top ten of the charts in numerous countries including Australia, New Zealand and Spencer-Smith's native United Kingdom.

And another one bites the dust

Oh, why can I not conquer love?

And I might've thought that we were one

Wanted to fight this war without weapons

 

And I wanted it, I wanted it bad

But there were so many red flags

Now another one bites the dust

Yeah, let's be clear, I'll trust no one

 

You did not break me

I'm still fighting for peace

 

Well, I've got thick skin and an elastic heart

But your blade, it might be too sharp

I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard

Yeah, I may snap and I move fast

You won't see me fall apart

'Cause I've got an elastic heart

Yeah, I've got an elastic heart

 

And I will stay up through the night

Yeah, let's be clear, won't close my eyes

And I know that I can survive

I'll walk through fire to save my life

 

And I wanted it, I wanted it bad

I'm doing everything that I can

Now another one bites the dust

It's hard to lose the chosen one

 

You did not break me

I'm still fighting for peace

I've got thick skin and an elastic heart

But your blade, it might be too sharp

I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard

Yeah, I may snap and I move fast

You won't see me fall apart, yeah

I've got an elastic heart

 

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, ooh, whoa

No-no, no, no

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, ooh, whoa

No-no, no, no

 

I've got thick skin and an elastic heart

But your blade, it might be too sharp

I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard

Yeah, I may snap and I move fast

You won't see me fall apart

'Cause I've got an elastic heart

I've got an elastic heart

I've got an elastic heart.
