Tauren Wells Platinum-selling Christian music artist has released his new single, “Fake It” featuring Aaron Cole, via Capitol Records/CCMG, marking the 10-time GRAMMY nominee’s first release on the label. On this upbeat, infectious track Wells celebrates the joy that comes from being loved as you are, freed from any need to “fake it.” Wells and Cole wrote “Fake It” with Chris Stevens–who produced the track with Tedd T. and Emily Weisband.
In the official video for “Fake It,” Wells gives a high-energy performance alongside Cole and a growing troupe of blazer-clad dancers. They shot the clip in Los Angeles with producer Raj Kapoor, who recently helmed Adele’s CBS special, and director Noah Clark. The Capitol/CCMG team was on hand at the video shoot to welcome Houston-based Wells to the label.
Lyrics
[Intro: Aaron Cole]
Let’s go
[Verse 1: Tauren Wells, Aaron Cole]
I’ve been facing counterfeits
And tryin’ to find a fix
But all that I was missing was You (Uh-huh)
My hope was running out
Until You came around
And showed me there was nothing to prove (Crazy)
[Pre-Chorus: Tauren Wells]
(Oh) Some would say it’s unexplainable
But I know, yeah, I know what You can do
[Chorus: Tauren Wells]
Oh, You’re changin’ my altitude
Your love is a whole new mood
Somethin’ I can put my faith in (Oh)
Oh-ooh, You struck a match in the dark
You’re meltin’ my plastic heart
This is real, don’t have to fake it (Aw!)
Oh, You’re changin’ my altitude
Your love is a whole new mood
Somethin’ I can put my faith in
Oh-ooh, You struck a match in the dark
You’re meltin’ my plastic heart
This is real, don’t have to fake it
[Verse 2: Tauren Wells]
It all quit makin’ sensе
Keepin’ up appearances
‘Cause thеre ain’t no one impressin’ You
You said, “Don’t act like it’s all good
Life ain’t Hollywood, no” (No, no, no, no)
[Chorus: Tauren Wells]
Oh, You’re changin’ my altitude
Your love is a whole new mood
Somethin’ I can put my faith in (Oh)
Oh-ooh, You struck a match in the dark
You’re meltin’ my plastic heart
This is real, don’t have to fake it (Aw!)
Oh, You’re changin’ my altitude
Your love is a whole new mood
Somethin’ I can put my faith in
Oh-ooh, You struck a match in the dark
You’re meltin’ my plastic heart
This is real, don’t have to fake it
[Post-Chorus: Aaron Cole, Tauren Wells]
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, ayy
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, ayy (Oh)
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, ayy (Mm-mm)
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, ayy
[Bridge: Aaron Cole]
Ayy, You keep the faith in my heart
Never knew a love like this in my life
Yeah, it was You all along
I know I belong
I’m right where I’m loved, ayy
Watch for fakes
This real love, man, it took time
Been chillin’ down in Florida, havin’ good times
Runnin’ Your race, I can’t get off track
Don’t gotta front when You got my back
Let’s go
[Chorus: Tauren Wells, Emily Weisband]
Oh, You’re changin’ my altitude (Oh)
Your love is a whole new mood
Somethin’ I can put my faith in
Oh-ooh, You struck a match in the dark
You’re meltin’ my plastic heart
This is real, don’t have to fake it (I don’t have to fake it, no)
[Outro: Aaron Cole, Tauren Wells, Aaron Cole & Tauren Wells]
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, ayy (Don’t have to fake it, no)
Na-na-na-na (Let’s go)
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, ayy (Don’t have to fake it, no)
Na-na-na-na (I know it’s real, yeah, I know it’s real)
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, ayy
Na-na-na-na (I know it’s real, yeah, I know You’re real)
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, ayy
