Pages is a long-awaited, previously unreleased album by Mike Posner, originally developed between 2013 and 2014 as the follow-up to his debut album, 31 Minutes to Takeoff. Although the project never received an official release at the time, several songs were shared with the world during its original campaign, while other material remained unheard. Featuring appearances from Big Sean, 2 Chainz, Labrinth, Logic, and others, the 16-track collection includes songs and spoken-word pieces that offer a glimpse into Mike’s creative journey during that period. More than a decade after the album was first announced, Pages is being brought to listeners through the relaunch of Mike’s Inner Bloom community. Below you’ll find the full tracklist, song lyrics, and a link to join Inner Bloom for free, where members can access the private playlist and experience Pages as Mike originally shared it.

01. introduction
(Intro)
Hello. You’re about to listen to Pages, by me: Mike Posner
This album was originally recorded, written, produced, and finished in 2013
But, mostly because my career sort of ground to a halt
And, none of my singles were as popular as my initial hit, ‘Cooler Than Me.’
This album was never released, until now
Enjoy
My name is Mike Posner, and these are a few pages from my notebook. Inside you’ll find my songs, my poems, and hopefully something that inspires you
02. apr 10th, 2013 – pretty damn good
(Intro)
April 10th
(Verse 1)
I can’t sing like Frank Sinatra
And I can’t dance I’m not that cool
I ain’t no star don’t got no Oscar, but
I did pretty damn good when I found you (Hey)
I wish that I was perfect but it just ain’t me
I kinda don’t belong up on a TV screen
I never whipped a Bentley baby, you know me
And I don’t got a Halo but I know one thing
(Chorus)
I did pretty damn good, when I found you
I did pretty damn good, when I found you
I found you
(Verse 2)
I don’t pretend I’m Ryan Gosling (Nope)
Heaven knows I got no groove
I can’t play guitar, I’m not Bruno Mars
But I did pretty damn good when I found you
(Pre-Chorus)
I wish I could pretend that I was like Jay-Z
My house too small got no TV
I still whip a Chevy but I keep that clean
I never had a Halo but I know one thing
(Chorus)
I did pretty damn good when I found you
I did pretty damn good when I found you (Alright)
I did pretty damn good when I found you
I did pretty damn good when I found you
(Verse 3)
Yeah you know I’m no Brad Pitt
But you’re my Angelina
And if we hit the mattress, ‘imma make you a believer
(Pre Chorus)
And no I’m not an angel
I know I’m just a fool
All I got is lovin’
And that’s all I want from you
I’m just still making progress
Love love love love love
All I got is lovin’
And that’s all I want from you
I love
(Chorus)
Pretty damn good
When I found, I found, I found you
Pretty damn good when I found you
I did pretty damn good, when I found you
I did pretty damn good, when I found you
I found you
03. may 4th, 2013 – not that simple
(Verse 1)
When we first met I was just a Sophomore
We spent the night on Lydia’s couch
I didn’t know you were gonna break my heart then
I didn’t know the pain I’d feel right now
(Pre-Chorus)
And I smile, yes I smile
But underneath are memories
That I’m trying, yeah I’m trying
To let go
(Chorus)
But it’s not that simple
Type of misery
All these mixed up signals
In my head
I still hear these echoes
Of when you loved me
But now you’re just someone in my mind
That used to be mine
(Verse 2)
People used to say I didn’t deserve you
I was cool with that, ‘cause I felt the same
But then they played my song on the radio
And I don’t think you liked who I became
(Pre-Chorus)
And so you left, yeah you left
On someone else’s arm now
And I’m trying, yeah I’m trying to let go
(Chorus)
But it’s not that simple
Type of misery
All these mixed up signals
In my head
I still hear these echoes
Of when you loved me
But now you’re just someone in my mind
That used to be mine
(Bridge)
‘Cause baby your beauty marks
Are like shooting stars
And my goofy heart is one of cupids darts
I’m just a nervous guy
And these words of mine
Will reverse the time
To when you were mine
(Pre-Chorus)
Because it’s not that simple
Type of misery
All these mixed up signals
(Chorus)
No, it’s not that simple
Type of misery
All these mixed up signals
In my head
I still hear these echoes
Of when you loved me
But now you’re just someone in my mind
Now you’re just someone in my mind
That used to be mine

05. may 15th, 2013 – rough around the edges (feat. jacob luttrell)
They say I’ve gone crazy and I lost my mind
They say I’ve been smoking
They say I look high
Maybe I’m just happy
Just happy I’m alive
I’m trying to do my life now
One moment at a time
I know I’m rough
Rough around the edges
But inside of my heart it’s just like butter when it’s melted
And I know
It’s a curse and it’s a blessing
I’m sorry if I screw up
I’m just rough around the edges
I guess I’m just weirdo
A little too long. (Alright)
They’re telling me the GQ is never gonna come
But I don’t give a damn about
The clothes that I wear. (Alright)
And if they don’t buy my records, shit
I don’t even care. (Why?)
Because I’m rough
Rough around the edges (Alright)
But inside of my heart it’s just like butter when it’s melted
And I know
It’s a curse and it’s a blessing
I’m sorry if I screw up
I’m just rough around the edges
Got hands on my shoulders every day (Alright)
I feel divine now
I’ll be okay
My soul is filled up
Filled to the top
With melodies loving
All that I got
My sister’s alright
And my mama’s alright
And my dad’s alright
So baby, I’m alright
You’re finally famous, alright
And Oslo’s alright
Ocean Jake alright
So baby, I’m alright
And I know, I’m rough
Rough around the edges (Alright)
But inside of my heart it’s just like butter when it’s melted
And I know
It’s a curse and it’s a blessing
I’m sorry if I screw up
I’m just rough around the edges
Got hands on my shoulders every day
I feel divine now
I’ll be okay
My soul is filled up
Filled to the top
With melodies loving
All that I got
My sister’s alright
And Oslo’s alright
Ocean Jake alright
So I’m alright
06. jun 12th, 2013 – sugar
(Verse 1)
I’m hurting baby, I’m broken down
I need your loving, loving I need it now
When I’m without you, I’m something weak
You got me begging, begging I’m on my knees
(Pre-Chorus)
‘Cause I need you
Like the sky needs blue
One of three me too for sure
And when I feel like I lost my way
Baby, just one taste of cure
(Chorus)
Sugar, yes please
Won’t you come and put it down on me?
I’m right here, ‘cause I need
Little love, a little sympathy
Baby, show me good loving, make me alright
Need a little sweetness in my life
Sugar, yes please
Won’t you come and put it down on me?
(Verse 2)
My broken pieces, you pick them up
Don’t leave me hanging, hanging
Come give me some
When I’m without you, there ain’t no sun
There’s only one thing, one thing I’m thinking of
(Pre-Chorus)
‘Cause I need you
Like the sky needs blue
??? free me too for sure
When I feel like I lost my way
Baby, just one taste of cure
(Chorus)
Your sugar, yes please
Won’t you come and put it down on me?
I’m right here, ‘cause I need
Little love, a little sympathy
Baby, show me good loving, make me alright
Need a little sweetness in my life
Your sugar, yes please
Won’t you come and put it down on me?
(Bridge)
I want that red velvet
I want that sugar sweet
Don’t let nobody touch it unless that somebody’s me
You say you got a man, I gotta find the way
You ‘bout to make me go back to my Carolina days
Hair lined up, stars is too
First date, drove that Impala too
I still got that Impala, too
Button-up but with the collar, too, woo
Now you know that I’m serious
And when you goin’, I’m furious
And you ain’t on that shy shit
No makeup on, that’s my sugar
(Chorus)
Sugar, yes please
Won’t you come and put it down on me?
I’m right here, ‘cause I need
Little love, a little sympathy
Show me good loving, make me alright
Need a little sweetness in my life
Your sugar, yes please
Won’t you come and put it down on me?

(Verse 1: Mike Posner)
Jealousy
I can feel, feel, feel it, inside me
That’s the truth, no reply
When they call, call, call you, that ain’t right
Don’t be cruel (Come on girl, don’t be cruel)
(Chorus)
‘Cause when I see you walkin’ by
Lookin’ on some other guy
I still want you, darling
Girl, you got me on my knees
Wishin’ you come back to me
‘Cause I still want you, darling (Woo)
(Post-Chorus)
Ba-da-da-da

That you want, want, want me in your life
I could tell by how you move
Tryna make me jealous with that dude
And you do it well (Ayy)
(Chorus)
‘Cause when I see you walkin’ by (Ayy)
Lookin’ on some other guy (Woo)

(Verse 3: Blackbear)
Yeah, yeah
I get so jealous, act so hellish
What you mean he’s just a friend?
I’m too selfish, I just want you, darling
And I pretend that I don’t see it
Who you textin’ in my bed?
You make me paranoid, I hate this, darling
Yeah, Coco Chanel, I see through it all
And you can’t control your alcohol
And you then wonder why I get so involved, I’m insecure
About the way you talk and ‘bout the way you walkin’
All over me and then you tear me off
And I hate the way you share your love, I see through you
See through you, yeah
(Chorus)
‘Cause when I see you walkin’ by
Lookin’ on some other guy
I still want you, darling (Ayy)
Girl, you got me on my knees (My knees)
Wishin’ you come back to me (Come)
‘Cause I still want you darling (Woo)
(Post-Chorus)
Ba-da-da-da

09. sept 10th, 2013 – get down
(Mike Posner)
I don’t gotta mansion
I’m still in the same house as before
I meet a lot of girls now (Uh)
But not the kind I’m looking for
See, I don’t need a ten to impress all of my friends
I had myself enough of those
And it doesn’t bother me
If she doesn’t cook or clean
I really just wanna know
Do you wanna get down, get down with me?
Do you wanna get down, get down with me? (Uh)
I’m just looking for love and affection
Some kissing and hugging
I’m just trying to get you home
So we could get to (Mmm, mmm)
Do you wanna get down, get down with me?
Do you wanna get down, get down with me?
(Justin Bieber)
I don’t pop bottles
I don’t even wild out in the club
I dropped a couple of models
But I’m just looking for love
I don’t need a ten to impress all of my friends
I done had a lot of those
And it doesn’t bother me
If she doesn’t cook or clean
I just really wanna know
Do you wanna get down, get down with me?
Do you wanna get down, get down with me? (Aye)
(Mike Posner and Justin Bieber)
I’m just looking for love and affection
Some kissing and hugging
I’m just trying to get you home
So we could get to (Mmm, mmm)
Do you wanna get down, get down with me?
Do you wanna get down, get down with me?
(Mike Posner)
I don’t wanna be a player
Just wanna be there when you call
I don’t wanna be a player (Uh)
(Two, three)
Do you wanna get down, get down with me?
Do you wanna get down, get down with me?
10. oct 10th, 2013 – top of the world (feat. big sean)
(Hook: Mike Posner)
At this time next year
I’ma have enough to buy the whole damn thing, thing, thing
Yeah, I’m doin’ pretty good right now
But I swear just wait, wait
I’ma take it to the top, top, top of the world
I’ma take it to the top, top, top of the world
I’ma take it to the top, top, top of the world
I’ma take it to the top, top, top of the world
(Verse 1: Big Sean)
I’ma take it to the top
Ha, I knew it
You came in here solo?
Nah, I crewed it
Funny, I turned all my “I’m gonna bes” to “I do its”
Been ballin’ out for a minute
Still play like I’m gettin’ recruited
I showed and proved it
And came up in the game and made a name
Clap it up
Seems like yesterday
Man, we was in your hooptie
Lappin’ up
Sometimes you gotta look back on your life and laugh it up
Tryin’ to make it to the top
And throw my dawgs a ladder up
(Hook: Mike Posner)
At this time next year
I’ma have enough to buy the whole damn thing, thing, thing
Yeah, I’m doin’ pretty good right now
But I swear just wait, wait
I’ma take it to the top, top, top of the world
I’ma take it to the top, top, top of the world
I’ma take it to the top, top, top of the world
I’ma take it to the top, top, top of the world
(Verse 2: Mike Posner)
Ain’t an artist in the game that can match this
Gym shorts on a date with a actress
And I’m still gon’ hit
I can pfffbt on this track and it’s still gon’ hit
Fuck the dress code
These ain’t retroes
Who that smooth voice is with the best flow?
Uh, yours truly
Keep your feelings to yourself
Let me do me
(Hook: Mike Posner)
At this time next year
I’ma have enough to buy the whole damn thing, thing, thing
Yeah, I’m doin’ pretty good right now
But I swear just wait, wait
I’ma take it to the top, top, top of the world
I’ma take it to the top, top, top of the world
I’ma take it to the top, top, top of the world
I’ma take it to the top, top, top of the world
(Verse 3: Big Sean)
Same old G
I just made a crib replacement
Whip replacement
Floatin’ down the street
Floatin’ bitch
I been paradin’
Everybody around me paid
Like gettin’ rich contagious
(Verse 4: Mike Posner)
Another hit
Excuse me while I run the bases
Sister graduating
So yeah, I’m feelin’ good
Midwest beard all over Hollywood
See the way they hatin’?
See the way I shine?
Dexter Ave, it’s a big mural, me and Sean
(Hook: Mike Posner)
At this time next year
I’ma have enough to buy the whole damn thing, thing, thing
Yeah, I’m doin’ pretty good right now
But I swear just wait, wait
I’ma take it to the top, top, top of the world
I’ma take it to the top, top, top of the world
I’ma take it to the top, top, top of the world
I’ma take it to the top, top, top of the world
(Outro: Mike Posner & (Big Sean))
I do it
(Man, that’s my line, lil bitch, you ain’t even say it right)
Fuck you bro, I say it how I want
Laughs

13. dec 10th, 2013 – stay with you
(Verse 1)
Take off your make-up, take off your clothes
I wanna wake up next to your nose
Would you let me linger on your lips
I’m still wrapped ’round your fingertips
And if I had me a rocket ship I just fly back home
(Chorus)
‘Cause I’ve looked in New York City
And I’ve checked in Boston too
I’ve found a couple that were pretty
But I’m still gonna stay with you
I’m gonna stay with you
I’m gonna stay with you
(Verse 2)
Why don’t you slow down?
I can feel it all now
Your heart is raising, I’m still here
Let your hair down and fear not
‘Cause I am going nowhere
(Chorus)
Yes, I’ve looked in San Francisco
And I checked all through L.A.
I looked in Dallas, Texas
But something didn’t feel the same
So I looked in Detroit City
And then I checked back at Duke
I found a couple that were pretty
But I’m still gonna stay with you
I’m gonna stay with you
I’m gonna stay with you
(Outro)
Searched in New York City
Checked in Boston too
Found a couple that were pretty
Still gonna stay with you
