“This Is Me“ is a powerful song from the soundtrack of the hit movie The Greatest Showman, which came out in 2017.
The song was originally sung by Keala Settle and the movie’s cast. With its message about loving yourself and being proud of who you are, “This Is Me” became a huge hit and touched a lot of hearts.
In 2018, the song got a cool update when Keala Settle teamed up with Alan Walker, a Norwegian DJ and producer known for his electronic music. This new version dropped on March 23, 2018, and it mixes the original’s emotional vibe with Alan Walker’s beats.
If you’ve heard songs like “Faded” or “Alone,” you’ll know his style, it’s the kind of music that makes you want to move and feel inspired at the same time.
Keala Settle’s voice is still the star of the show, though. She sings with so much passion and strength, just like in the original. The lyrics are all about embracing who you are, even when others don’t understand or accept you.

This Is Me Lyrics by The Greatest Showman
I am not a stranger to the dark
Hide away, they say
‘Cause we don’t want your broken parts
I’ve learned to be ashamed of all my scars
Run away, they say
No one’ll love you as you are
But I won’t let them break me down to dust
I know that there’s a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ’cause here I come
And I’m marchin’ on to the beat I drum
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, fire away ’cause today I won’t let the shame sink in
We are bursting through the barricades and
Reachin’ for the sun (we are warriors)
Yeah, that’s what we’ve become (yeah, that’s what we’ve become)
I won’t let them break me down to dust
I know that there’s a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ’cause here I come
And I’m marchin’ on to the beat I drum
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
This is me
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
This is brave, this is bruised
This is who I’m meant to be, this is me
Look out ’cause here I come (look out ’cause here I come)
And I’m marchin’ on to the beat I drum (marchin’ on, marchin’, marchin’ on)
I’m not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Whenever the words wanna cut me down
I’ll send the flood, to drown ’em out
I’m gonna send a flood
Gonna drown them out
Oh
This is me
