The single also reached number four in New Zealand, number 26 in South Korea, number 48 in the United Kingdom, number 58 in Canada, and number 88 in Japan. "Brave" became Bareilles's third top 40 hit in the United States, peaking at number 23, and reached number three in Australia, her highest-charting single in the country to date. Some critics noted the similarity to Katy Perry's single " Roar," which was released four months later.

Listen to Sara Bareilles’ Brave’ in the video below. Because, let’s face it, letting the bullies walk all over you - all that does is make you feel bad.īut standing up to them? You’ll be scared but, when you’re done, you’ll be glad you did and……you’ll feel like you can do anything. Girls who are bullied, girls who are afraid to speak out, girls who take all those ‘bad words’ to heart and believe them.īut let’s face it, as Sara Bareilles sings – “Nothing’s going to hurt you, the way that words do, when they settle ‘neath your skin”.Īnd with the refrain “I just wanna see you be brave”, it’s a message girls need to hear. ‘Brave’ is a fabulous song, by the way, as the video for it is all about why girls should be brave.
Then she sent me a link to Sara Bareilles’ ‘ Brave‘, a song I’d forgotten about and, since then, it’s been stuck in my head so much I just kept playing it until……it became today’s Repeat Rotation Video.

Thanks Gaga - much appreciated but, maybe next time, a bit of warning before you hit that Tweet button? 🙂īut….while my site was crashed and I had plenty of time on my hands, I was able to get into a conversation with a friend about being brave. Well, I’m back up and running after Lady Gaga tweeted a link to an article I wrote about her and crashed my website.
