I like to bite my nails
And play the air guitar
I like to keep my suitcase packed 'coz I'm going far
I think you're nice but
I don't wanna waste my time
I may seem crazy but don't worry I'm just fine
[chorus]
All the way up
All the way down
Never look back
It's time to breakout
I want it my way
I do what I do
I know what I like
And maybe it's you
Lets rock
It's a temporary life
It's all right
That takes you all the way up
All the way down
Never look back it's time to breakout
I like to go out walking
In the pourin' rain
I want my rock n roll to
Make the window shake
I wait till three am
To call everyone I know
I'm gonna bring the noise
I'm ready here we go
All the way up
All the way down
Never look back
It's time to breakout
I want it my way
I do what I do
I know what I like
And maybe it's you
Lets rock
It's a temporary life
It's all right
That takes you all the way up
All the way down
Never look back it's time to breakout
It's my life and it's a riot
Come on baby you can't deny it
Don't deny it
All the way up
All the way down
Holdin' my breath
Lettin' it out
I want it my way
I do what I do
I know what I like
Baby
All the way up
All the way down
Never look back
It's time to breakout
I want it my way
I do what I do
I know what I like
And maybe it's you
Lets rock
It's a temporary life
It's all right
That takes you all the way up
All the way down
Never look back it's time to breakout
It's time to breakout
It's time to breakout
Right now
And play the air guitar
I like to keep my suitcase packed 'coz I'm going far
I think you're nice but
I don't wanna waste my time
I may seem crazy but don't worry I'm just fine
[chorus]
All the way up
All the way down
Never look back
It's time to breakout
I want it my way
I do what I do
I know what I like
And maybe it's you
Lets rock
It's a temporary life
It's all right
That takes you all the way up
All the way down
Never look back it's time to breakout
I like to go out walking
In the pourin' rain
I want my rock n roll to
Make the window shake
I wait till three am
To call everyone I know
I'm gonna bring the noise
I'm ready here we go
All the way up
All the way down
Never look back
It's time to breakout
I want it my way
I do what I do
I know what I like
And maybe it's you
Lets rock
It's a temporary life
It's all right
That takes you all the way up
All the way down
Never look back it's time to breakout
It's my life and it's a riot
Come on baby you can't deny it
Don't deny it
All the way up

Holdin' my breath

About"All the Way Up" is a 2009 pop rock single performed by actress/singer Emily Osment from her debut extended play, All the Right Wrongs. It was released on August 25, 2009 as the lead single from the album. The song was co-written by Emily Osment and Anthony Fagenson, and was produced by James Maxwell Collins. Lyrically, Osment stated she wanted the song to be about "breaking out" and that "a lot of kids can relate to that". Musically, "All the Way Up" is an uptempo pop-rock song, which influences from other genres as well, mainly rock and indie rock.
The song received generally positive reviews from music critics. Some have praised Osment's "spunk", and also make comment about how she chose not to join with Hollywood Records, like most other Disney Channel artist. However, some call the song childish, stating that Osment tries to come across as "fierce", but just falls flat in the end. However, some have praised the single, calling it a magnificent start to her career. Osment herself has stated that the song is influenced by Alanis Morissette's album, Jagged Little Pill.
"All the Way Up" failed to garner much attention on the music charts, but it did manage to enter the charts in a few international territories, as well as becoming a hit on Radio Disney. The music video was directed by Roman White and features Osment, along with the band Push Play rehearsing a performance of the song in their apartment. The video shows the effects the loud music has on all of the surrounding apartments. "All the Way Up" was performed on Osment's first tour, the "Clap Your Hands Tour", as well as the American talk show, The View.
"All the Way Up" was co-written by Osment, along with James Maxwell Collins and Anthony Fagenson. The song was recorded by Osment while on the set of the hit Disney show, Hannah Montana. She stated during an interview that the song was finished after nearly 3 months of working on it. The single was debuted on Radio Disney on August 25, 2009, and was released for radio airplay the following day. Originally, You Are the Only One was intended to be released as the lead single. However, Osment pushed for the release of "All the Way Up", and eventually her record label agreed to release it as her debut single.
"All the Way Up" is generally a pop rock song. However, it also features traces of indie rock and rock. The melody runs through a down-tempo rock beat. The song has an emphasis mainly on the bass and drums, but the guitar is also dominant in the song. Osment has listed Alanis Morissette as one of the main inspirations for the single, and album in general. She stated that Morissette's album Jagged Little Pill was the main influence for her musical career, and that she had incorporated themes from the album into her own. When being interviewed about the single, Osment stated
"That song was written about a year ago and I recorded the final recording three or four months ago. I wrote it with Tony Fagenson and Max Collins.... When we first wrote it we wanted to write a song about breaking out... A lot of kids can connect with that because we all have strange habits.
The lyrics to "All the Way Up" were co-written by Osment, with all of her teenage fans in mind. It speaks of wanting to break out, and just be who you want to be. The main example of this theme is shown in the chorus of the single, when Osment sings the line, "All the way up, all the way down. Never look back, it's time to break out!" "All the Way Up" is constructed with the common verse-chorus pattern.
