Susan Boyle 'Who I Was Born to Be' - New Song

Posted on Jan 29th 2010 11:09AM by Sara D Anderson

'Who I Was Born to Be' is Susan Boyle's only original composition off her November-released debut 'I Dreamed a Dream.' Composed by a slew of writers: Audra Mae, Mark Linn-Baker, Johan Fransson, Tobias Lundgren, and Tim Larsson, the piano-driven ballad is about how she finally achieved her dream. Although humbled, the former 'Britain's Got Talent' runner-up sings with confidence and satisfaction, which can be heard in her voice as well as the lyrics: "I can finally say I am free / And if the questions led me here, then / I am who I was born to be."

According to Nielsen Soundscan, 'I Dreamed a Dream' was 2009's top selling album released last year with 3,104,000 copies sold. (Swift's 'Fearless' sold 3,217,000 but was actually released in November of 2008.) To hear Boyle's new single, tune into AOL Radio's Classical Crossover station.

2. That's an awesome song! Her vocals are absolutely amazing on that track. I think that single just might be contemporary enough to make it onto AC radio. That'd be great for SuBo!

3. I think that speaks to many of us who are unsure about if we're who we are born to be. Susan sings it beautifully and, obviously, she has become who she was born to be. Susan's a breath of fresh air..
