"Spinnin'" is the fifth single from Beer's second album "Silence Between Songs". The entire album was co-written and produced by Beer as a tribute to her favorite artists, including Lana Del Rey, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and Tame Impala. This article will introduce the song and its music video, accompanied by lyrics!
Madison Beer – Spinnin | Song Introduction
This album delves into growth, introspection, and self-reflection. Over the past few years, Madison realized that true moments of growth come during times of solitude and quiet, not necessarily during major life events. Speaking about this song, Madison said: "This track mirrors a phase when everything seemed stagnant. Every day felt like it was on a loop, existing in a state of anxiety. But it allowed me to deeply explore the thoughts and emotions within my heart. I dreamed of having a cinematic and visually captivating video to express these feelings, and I'm immensely proud of this creation."
She told Billboard: "I convinced myself that I was truly growing only when I was making music, touring, and during my busiest times. However, as I aged, I realized that the moments of utmost growth actually occurred when I was able to block out external noise, be alone, and genuinely reflect."
Following "Home To Another One," "Spinnin" presents an almost diametrically opposite sound and atmosphere. The track is cinematic, dramatic, and profound. It begins with the soft strumming of a guitar and angelic vocals. As Madison showcases the full extent of her voice, other instruments like drums and guitars gradually intensify. The song blends elements of pop, soul, country, and jazz.
Lyrically, it narrates a story of oppression and confusion. It depicts the struggle with life and pondering about the next steps, as the lyrics suggest: "Would I rather live in my dreams?/ As I lie here, I ponder/ Is it the world that's stopped spinning or is it just me?"
Accompanied by a beautifully ethereal and fantastical music video, co-directed by Beer and Aerin Moreno, Madison experiences a surreal moment: one day after waking up, she notices the clock on her wall has stopped. Leaving her home, she discovers the entire world has come to a standstill - cars aren't moving, birds in the sky have ceased their singing, and she's the only one who can move. This conveys a dreamlike sensation to the viewer.
Regarding the album, Madison expressed, "In the two years since my last album, I've learned a lot about myself and my artistry. This album narrates the many facets of myself that I discovered when I embraced silence and distanced from the noise. I hope my fans gain the same inspiration listening to it as I did while creating it."

Madison Beer – Spinnin | Lyrics
[Intro]
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
[Verse 1]
Did the world stop spinnin’? Nothin’ seems to change
-
I’m stuck at the beginnin’ and I’m in pain
-
Did the sun stop risin’? ‘Cause the sky’s so gray
-
Did the world stop spinnin’ today?
-
[Chorus]
I woke up, fell back to sleep
-
‘Cause I’d rather live in my dreams
-
I lay here wondering why
-
[Verse 2]
Did the world stop spinnin’? Am I frozen in time?
-
‘Cause the birds stopped singin’, are we flawed by design?
-
My heartbeat’s racin’ like a strange ballet
-
Did the world stop spinnin’ today?
-
[Chorus]
I woke up, fell back to sleep (Sleep)
-
‘Cause I’d rather live in my dreams (Ah)
-
I lay here wondering why
-
Did the world stop spinning or did I?
-
[Bridge]
The world has stopped spinning
-
The lights are all dimming and, ah
-
The world has stopped spinning
-
The end is beginning and, ah
-
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
[Outro]
Oh, the world stopped spinnin’, nothin’ seems to change
-
I’m stuck at the beginnin’ and I’m still in pain
-
Why’d the sun stop shinin’? Why’s the sky still gray?
-
Oh, the world stopped spinnin’ today
-
