Y/n P.O.V

"How's it going tonight Los Angeles!" The audience screams loudly in response.

"That's what I like to hear! Now, before the lovely ladies of Fifth Harmony come out on stage I have one more song for you tonight." I smile at the excited energy they're giving off. Harmonizers are the best.

My dance team comes back on stage with a few extra people I had hired for this performance. Alexis takes my mic and switches it with an ear piece mic for me to put on. I adjust it to the perfect position before speaking to the crowd again.

"This song is one I have not performed yet that was supposed to go on my 3rd album so feel special to be the first to hear it." I say joking and wait for the lights to dim and a purple light to take over.

(A/N It starts at 1:54, I don't know what the beginning is.)  

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
Yeah we'll be counting stars

When I start the song four of my dancers get in position around me and after I sing the last part the lights in the ceiling to make it look like stars turn on. We all look up at them while walking to the right of the stage when more dancers appear.

I see this life, like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And in my face is flashing signs
Old, but I'm not not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
On just doing what we're told
I-I-I-I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I-I-I-I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

They continue to dance around me as I move around the stage, sometimes joining them when it gets to simpler moves so I can still sing normally.

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars 
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

I feel the love and I feel it burn
Down this river, every turn
Hope is our four-letter word
Make that, watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
On just doing what we're told
I-I-I-I feel something so wrong 
Doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie

They all huddle up and form stairs for me to walk up as I sing the next line. 

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

I turn to do a trust fall and land safely in their awaiting arms. As soon as I fell they all went back to dancing.

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

I leave it to my backup singers to finish the rest of the song and dance with the others.

Take that money
Watch it burn 
Sink in the river
The lessons I've learned
