[Verse 1]
And I've been in my head, like, every day
Just keep goin'
I don't know what steps that I should take
Oh, I wanna get it right
But life is full of big surprises
Baby, this is what I'm findin'
There's a story that we're all writin'
Oh, I realize
[Verse 2]
I gotta just keep goin'
Just keep goin'
It's gonna come into focus (Ooh-ahh)
Oh, I'm hopin'
That I can just keep goin'
I'm not always gonna get it right (Get it right)
But that don't mean that I can't shine (Ooh-ahh)
Oh, on the darkest night
I'm gonna just keep goin'
[Verse 3]
Let your troubles just wash away
Let go of all the pain of yesterday
'Cause, baby, I can see a brighter day
If you just keep goin'
And don't you know that it is up to you
It's up to you what all you're gonna choose
'Cause there are days when we will win and lose
We gotta just keep goin'
[Verse 4]
Step by step
Every minute, every hour, every moment
We're gon' take it day by day
Take my hand, we'll do it together
We're gonna take it step by step
Every minute, every hour, every moment
We're gon' take it day by day
Take my hand, we'll do it together
(And nothing's holdin' me back)
[Verse 5]
So, on the days that I wake up and I can't see a way
I'll lift my hands and I will praise
I'll say, I'll say
I'll say that I'll love You forever and ever
Nothing compares to Your goodness and mercy
Nothing compares, no
Love You forever and ever (Love You, love You, love You)
Nothing compares to Your goodness and mercy (Nothing compares, nothing compares to You)
(And nothing's holdin' me back) Nothing's holdin' me
(And nothing's holdin' me back) Nothing's holdin' me
(And nothing's holdin' me back)
(Woah) Love You forever and ever
Keep Going
Song Meaning
Britt Nicole keeps "Keep Going" close to the texture of actual uncertainty rather than resolved confidence — "I don't know what steps that I should take," "I'm not always gonna get it right." The title phrase isn't presented as a guarantee of success, just the one instruction that still applies when nothing else is clear: keep going, even without the full picture.
"Let your troubles just wash away, let go of all the pain of yesterday" keeps the song forward-facing without pretending the past didn't happen — it's addressed to someone still carrying something, not someone already free of it. The "step by step... take my hand, we'll do it together" section shifts the song from solo determination to shared effort, refusing to frame perseverance as something done entirely alone.
The closing turn — "I'll lift my hands and I will praise... nothing compares to Your goodness and mercy" — answers the earlier uncertainty with worship rather than a resolved plan, treating praise itself as the thing that keeps someone moving on the days an actual way forward still isn't visible.
