Lyrics
There's an "S" under my clothes

On my chest where nobody else can see

I light up when the doors are closed

I am free, yeah

And I wish I could make my move

I can tell that you're really into me

And I don't got a thing to lose

In my dreams, in my dreams



I'm a badass, jumping off the moving train

I'm a Jane Bond, putting all them guys to shame

I'm a wild card, and I'm gonna steal your game

You better watch out



I'm a fire starter

Make your blood run faster

I melt hearts like water

Yeah yeah yeah yeah (oh oh oh oh)

I'm a fire starter

I'm a sweet disaster

I melt hearts like water

Yeah yeah yeah yeah (oh oh oh oh)



I might look all innocent

But the embers are burning inside of me

And I'm ready to take that step

Can't you see, can't you see



I'm a badass, jumping off the moving train

I'm a Jane Bond, putting all them guys to shame

I'm a wild card

I'm about take my aim

You better watch out



I'm a fire starter

I'm a sweet disaster

I melt hearts like water

Yeah yeah yeah yeah (oh oh oh oh)

I'm a fire starter

I'm a sweet disaster

I melt hearts like water

Yeah yeah yeah yeah (oh oh oh oh)



I'm so high I'm burning up

Kiss your lips, I'm waking up

There's nothing more to be afraid of



There's an "S" under my clothes

On my chest where nobody else can see



I'm a fire starter

Make your blood run faster

I melt hearts like water

I'm a fire starter

I'm a sweet disaster

I melt hearts like water

Yeah yeah yeah yeah (oh oh oh oh)



I'm a fire starter

AHHHH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!! THANK YOU!!

I feel like you must actually know me as a person, because this truly highlights everything I love about the show and Kara herself. The build from about :30-1:15 gave me ALL THE FEELS and I just started bouncing up and down and clapping for Kara! This song is perfect for her. SO MUCH YAY. I also really love the end credits!

Thank you so much!!! <3333

[gabolange]

This is awesome! Really enjoyed this--perfect for Kara!

[heresluck]

This song fits Kara so beautifully -- and, okay, maybe this is just me, but I love that you didn't take it to an especially 'shippy place, even though the lyrics potentially point that way; instead it's about how awesome Kara is and how EVERYBODY loves her. AS WELL THEY SHOULD. And it's not just the song that's so wonderful -- the pacing and the timing of cuts and the use of swooping camera motion gives the vid a fantastic propulsive visual energy that matches the song beautifully. This is what I will be showing people who for some reason still need to be recruited into watching the show.

...also, the exploding latte on "sweet disaster" made me laugh so hard I had to pause the vid. :D

[niyalune]

Awesome vid, both epic and fun. It's got so much energy, and the clip choices are wonderful !
(and I laughed at the exploding latte as well. Great timing!)

[runawaynun]

This such a great song for Kara! I loved the walking away from fire/ saving people like a badass combined and mixed with all her relationships. I also think your editing of the clips is pretty awesome too. :D

[thirdblindmouse]

This vid is as adorable as Kara herself, and that's saying something. Kara deserves ALL the recognition! (I squeaked out loud at the beginning when you incorporated what a delightfully bad liar she is. That is hands down my favourite part of the show.)

[kiki_miserychic]

This is freaking cute and I really liked a lot of the lyric uses. Great pacing too.

[ghost_lingering]

This is so much fun! Love it!

[were_duck]

I LOVE THIS VID So fun and swift, WOW you have such good command over movement and emotion I am grinning EAR TO EAR.

[serrico]

Yay, Kara! This is a great look at her character, with all the hope and power and occasional goofiness therein. :)

[winterevanesce]

Love love love this!!! Awesome Kara vid!

[giandujakiss]

Oh, this made me so happy! I want to run out and stop a speeding train or something.

[leanwellback]

OH THIS IS SO PERFECT!! Kara is my favourite and this show makes me so happy and you just captured everything I love about her and it so brilliantly :D All of her relationships that are so important and her adorable little face!! I adore what you did with the clips from Human For A Day on that repeat of "There's an 'S' under my clothes" and that it's the person under the costume and powers, just Kara, that makes her a real hero. Bravo!

[echan]

Brilliant song, and I love how you showed so many sides & emotions -- saving the day is hard not just squeeful, and there's moments of fail, and personal relationships are so important. Every transition into the chorus and "I'm a fire starter" was well chosen and powerful.

[sarkastic]

This was a complete delight!

[himundergreen]

This was so delightful to watch!

[goodbyebird]

Oh wow, the ultimate Kara vid! I love this, it had me bouncing along :D

[frayadjacent]

This is so great! What a wonderful tribute to Kara and a joy to watch.

[revolutionaryjo]

Heee, I love how on the nose the song choice is ("There's an S under my clothes")! This vid is such a delight. You show 'em, Kara. :D

[amathela]

This was so great, I loved it!

[valoise]

I LOVE this vid, Supergirl perfectly encapsulated in under 4 minutes.

[grammarwoman]

Great song choice and beautiful editing - you really bring across the sense of fun and wonder that Kara has as Supergirl, and the appreciation those around her have for her. :)

[fairestcat]

Very cute!

[anoel]

Awwww this is so beautiful and cute and well done! I LOVE that you include Cat's look at 0:04 which not only is it hot as hell, works so well with her pondering the S under her clothes. I really love the holding hands transition fade to the past flashback and it's so cool how you use motion particularly in the next section although throughout the whole vid it's great too! I really love how you display Kara's joy of flying with the lyrics on "firestarter", that sense of wonder comes through SO well as does her TV watching squee which is TOO CUTE. That transition of "embers burning" to Kara is SO cool and I adore the little sister bonding section around 2:25! I love how you eventually do show the "S under my clothes" and the ending clip was SUPER PERFECT. Loved this vid!

[beatrice_otter]

Beautiful vid, set to such an appropriate song!

[monanotlisa]

Wow your cuts are *on point*! :) I love all the little details, the matching of lyrics (the sweet disaster! So true!) and all James/Kara moments; you did find THE song for Supergirl, of course. Thank you!
