About 'Boots'
Artist: Bonnie Kellett
Producer: Govinda Doyle
Writers: Bonnie Kellett
Release Date: Feb 18, 2022
'Boots', which was penned by Kellett, and produced by ARIA award-winning producer Govinda Doyle (Angus and Julia Stone) made quite a first impression when it hit the iTunes charts on release day (#2 Country, #32 All Genres).
​
‘Boots’ is an anthem about reclaiming your power and self-worth when others try to bring you down. Inspired by struggles experienced in her own life, the song is a fresh take on the saying “you’re getting too big for your boots” that is often thrown around when a person tries to break free.
​
Kellett wanted to inspire others to reclaim their self-worth, despite what other people have to say about it. The song was inspired by Alanis Morrisette’s ‘You Oughta Know’ and Shania Twain’s Country/Rock/Pop vibes. A song about picking yourself up, dusting yourself off, owning who you are, and moving onwards and upwards.
Lyrics
Verse
All I wanted was a happy ending
Instead of the hero I picked the villain
But us strong women we know in turn
That if you play with fire then expect to get burnt
Sure you're a big star but no one cares
Heard you're now playingto empty tables and empty chairs
Your love was here and gone so fast
Time to watch me go Alanis Morrisette on your ass
Your love was a stainI won't do it again, no
Chorus
You want this Diamond in the rough
Well baby you ain't good enough
Show your hands I call your bluff
A caught out wolf you huff and puff baby
Yeah now that we're through
I didn't get too big for my boots they just got too big for you
Verse
It takes gods like you for us mortals to
Get down on our hands and knees and beg for you
Now when I see your face and that dirty smirk
Reminds me that you lay there and I did all the work
You said I told her that chip on her shoulder
Was in my opinion as big as a boulder, yeah
But haters gonna hate, my chip is fricking great
Thanks for all you gifted, you just got swifted
I made the gradeWith beauty and brains
Chorus
You want this Diamond in the rough
Well baby you ain't good enough
Show your hands I call your bluff
A caught out wolf you huff and puff baby
Yeah now thatwe're through
I didn't get too big for my bootsthey just got too big for you
Yeah now baby

Bridge
Communication turns into
Misinterpretation and a
Illustration of my
Reputation that's not me
​
Chorus
You want this Diamond in the rough
Well baby you ain't good enough
Show your hands I call your bluff
A caught out wolf youhuff and puff baby
Yeah now that we're throughI didn't get too big for my boots
They just got too big for you
