LYRICS:
Don't baby don't believe that I won't Say what I got to say And baby don't think it's fine To mess with my mind Every time you decide to stand in my way Don't baby don't believe that I won't Play when I got to play And baby don't think it's fine To mess with my mind Every time you decide to stand in my way I've seen where I wanna be Got no one trying stopping me I do what I wanna do Don't wanna be like you I've seen where I wanna be Got no one trying stopping me I do what I wanna do Don't wanna be like you I've been looking for a place to go Everywhere I know It's just the same old thing Just different faces staring back at me Nothing new to see It's just the same old thing I've been looking for a place to go Everywhere I know It's just the same old thing Just different faces staring back at me Nothing new to see It's just the same old thing You had your way Better gone than belong to what was yesterday Rude or subdued Never knew what was true Or who would undo our thing 'Cos I understand a compliment I appreciate his cause I think that me and him are just the same 'Cos I live by my own rules And I'll never be just what you see Please don't try to label me I have to speak my mind not stand in line 'Cos I live by my own rules [whistle] I've been looking for a place to go Everywhere I know It's just the same old thing Just different faces staring back at me Nothing new to see It's just the same old thing I've been looking for a place to go Everywhere I know It's just the same old thing Just different faces staring back at me Nothing new to see It's just the same old thing I don't entertain people who try to say That they play the game They're all the same

Their debut single 'Looking For A Place' is a funky, catchy and fresh slice of mature pop that mixes killer melodies with killer beats, sultry vocals and a chart bothering chorus to amazing effect. Let's hope they come back for second helpings. Mikey

Actually a little underwhelmed by this to be honest - the pictures of them and the involvement of the mighty Xenomania made me think I was going to get a
grown up version of Daphne & Celeste. The sound is fairly slick and R&B influenced, but the chorus reminds me too much of something else that wasn't very
good, and the fact that it gets whistled before its second instance just emphasises this. Sonically it's great though, a hint of a guitar underneath the second
verse to give it a bit of kick and politely skittering beats. One suspects it's a grower, that breed of song that irks because flat-out dismissals come back to bite
hataz on the arse later on, hence the fence sitting. Good, not fantastic. Edward Oculicz

Their debut single, "Looking For A Place", is a feisty pop track, not unlike Boomkat's "The Wreckoning" last year. It makes a refreshing change to hear an
urban pop crossover act not just following the latest trend by imitating everything they've seen on music videos - Mania definitely have their own sound. SholasBoy

The lyrics are blunt and girl power rings true in my ears with lyrics such as "I sleep where I want to be, try stopping me, don’t want to be like you".
