All Eyes on Me Lyrics Bo Burnham
All Eyes on Me Lyrics “All Eyes On Me” is the eighteenth track on Bo Burnham’s fourth album, Inside (The Songs), compiled from his May 2021 Netflix special. This song is a sort of “encore” for the overall project, as it follows the climax of “Welcome to the Internet,” “Bezos II,” and “That Funny Feeling.” It also features Bo simulating a faux performance with pre-recorded audio of an audience cheering.
Throughout the piece, Burnham speaks directly to the viewer, addressing the pros and cons of being an entertainer, his desires to perform on stage again, receiving attention from his fans, and general feelings of futility.
On July 2, 2021, the track was re-released without the spoken word segment about his plans for 2020, which were interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. On July 10, 2021 “All Eyes On Me” peaked at #178 on Billboard’s Global 200’s chart—the first comedy song to do so. The song reached a new height of #119 on July 24, 2021. All Eyes on Me Lyrics
On November 23, 2021, it was announced that “All Eyes On Me” was nominated for the 2022 Grammy Awards Show under the “Best Song Written For Visual Media” category. On April 3, 2022, Burnham finally took home the Grammy. All Eyes on Me Lyrics

Interlude | All Eyes on Me Lyrics
You wanna hear a funny story?
So, uh, five years ago, I quit performing live comedy
Because I was beginning to have, uh, severe panic attacks while on stage
Which is not a great place to have them
So I, I quit, and I didn't perform for five years
And I spent that time trying to improve myself mentally
And you know what? I did! I got better
I got so much better, in fact, that in January of 2020
I thought, "You know what? I should start performing again
I've been hiding from the world and I need to re-enter"
And then, the funniest thing happened
Verse 2
Are you feeling nervous? Are you having fun?
It's almost over, it's just begun
Don't overthink this, look in my eye
Don't be scared, don't be shy
Come on in, the water's fine
All Eyes on Me Lyrics
Verse 3 | All Eyes on Me Lyrics
You say the ocean's rising like I give a shit
You say the whole world's ending, honey, it already did
You're not gonna slow it, Heaven knows you tried
Got it? Good, now get inside
Pre-Chorus
We're goin' to go where everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
We're goin' to go where everybody knows
Everybody knows
Chorus
Come on, get your fuckin' hands up
Get on out of your seat
All eyes on me, all eyes on me
Hey, come on, get your fuckin' hands up
Get on out of your seats
All eyes on me, all eyes on me, yeah
Heads down, pray for me
Heads down now, pray for me
I said get your fuckin' hands up
Get up, get up
I'm talkin' to you, get the fuck up
Chorus | All Eyes on Me Lyrics
Get your fuckin' hands up
Get on out of your seat
All eyes on me, all eyes on me
Ayy, fuckin' get your fuckin' hands up
Get on out of your seat
All eyes on me, all eyes on me, yeah
Come on, heads down, pray for me
Heads down now, pray for me
I said get your fuckin' hands up
Get on—
All eyes on me, all eyes on me
