Ain’t Gonna Die Tonight

Ain’t Gonna Die Tonight

Macklemore (Ft. Eric Nally)

The opener of GEMINI sounds as if it was made to be the kick-off at many Macklemore shows — indeed, it is the first song performed at each GEMINI Tour show. Macklemore enters the stage to this, ready to perform and about to shut down the stage. The song is an anthem of self-confidence and self-motivation and shows Macklemore aware of his own potential, telling himself that, whatever is going to happen, he is not going to die.

The track was first heard in the official album teaser. Eric Nally contributes the same vigorous and strident chorus vocals that he already contributed to “Downtown”. It makes a triumphant opening song not only at live shows, but also on the album — Macklemore is heating himself up, getting ready to show everyone what he is able to accomplish.
