Viral queen Rebecca black has finally released the follow-up to her online smash hit "Friday" in the form of the more cutesy, inspiring pop ballad called "My Moment" - The song all in all is kinda 'meh' but nevertheless it's a huge step up from 'Friday', so kudoz are in order. It's got better lyrics (the haters-dedicated bridge is 'meow!'), and more real singing by Rebecca, although yeah 'some' auto-tune can still be perceived. Best of luck to her! It's her time to prove she's not a one-hit wonder. "My Moment" debuted on YouTube with an accompanying music video on July 18th, 2011 and the single was released digitally the following day on iTunes.

The music video for Rebecca Black’s new single "My Moment" dually capitalizes on Black's goofy charm (that fans love) and awkwardness (that haters love to hate). On the surface, the video tells us that 1) despite the haters, Rebecca Black is a star and 2) this works, because at the same time Rebecca Black is still just a likable young girl genuinely ecstatic about all this attention.
The dual role Rebecca Black has to play is carefully manufactured. Viewed one way, she appears as the rising pop star that has succeeded despite adversity. In the video she dances with apparent fans rather than in front of them, showing that everybody is equally stoked about Black's success. Even more, it suggests Black's stardom is marked by her normality. She's the everygirl's pop star, integrated with her supporters. It's not startling that "My Moment" has succeeded in manufacturing a Rebecca Black that appeals easily to both fans and haters. What's striking is that Rebecca Black makes the supposed-to-be-subliminal marketing tactics blatantly obvious.
Rebecca Black "My Moment" Lyrics (Make iPhone Ringtone with this)
[Rebecca Black]
Were you the one who said that I would be nothing
Well, I'm about to prove you wrong
I'm not the only one who believes in something
My one wish is about to come true
I'm not stopping for you
No matter what you do
I'll just keep on dreaming
My head up in the clouds when nobody is around to see...
[Chorus]
This is my moment, my moment
It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment
It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment
[Rebecca Black]
You knew it all along, I was afraid of you
I thought I couldn't be myself
You tried to be my friend
But I wouldn't let you
Remember what you said
Don't miss out on your chance
Your life is in your hands
So take it just as far as you can
But trusting in youself, forget everyone else
Believe...
[Chorus]
This is my moment, my moment
It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment
It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows
[Bridge]
Haters, said I'll see you later
Can't talk to you right now
I'm getting my paper
Said I'm doing big things
Things you never dreamed of
I hope you are happy cause I'm 'bout to blow up
[Chorus]
This is my moment, my moment
It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment
It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment
Were you the one who said that I would be nothing
Well, I'm about to prove you wrong
I'm not the only one who believes in something
My one wish is about to come true
I'm not stopping for you
No matter what you do
I'll just keep on dreaming
My head up in the clouds when nobody is around to see...
[Chorus]
This is my moment, my moment
It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment
It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment
