Scarlett and I are preparing to go on stage for Good Morning America to perform Potential Break Up Song live for the first time. It blew up after we released it yesterday and we have been getting a lot of positive feedback.

"Everybody give it up for Michelle Martins and Scarlett Johansson as they person their new single, Potential Break Up Song."

We both sat in the "indian seat" position at the stage at the back, our band on the main stage. Our set starts out as an accapella as we sat in front of each other.

Michelle:
It's been days and weeks and months
Feels like forever since I saw you
I'm forgetting how you felt now
I've never had this much time on my hands

I looked at her and gave her a subtle nod and smiled as her voice slowly joined in, harmonizing with mine. At that, the crowd cheered making us smile but we just concentrated on the mic that we were sharing.

Both:
Move the kitchen table out to the lawn
Roll up the rug the stereo's on
All I can imagine is being in your arms
I want you to know

I don't need anything fancy
I just need me and you slow dancing
Hell's bending keeping me captive
Heaven's here it's right where you're standing
Slow dancing

The band started playing making us stand up and jump around. She held my hand as we walked the path that was cleared for us to the main stage. While walking there, we held the hands of the fans that were holding their hands out making them scream louder and I'm pretty sure I was deaf now.

Michelle:
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

A fan pulled me closer to her making me stumble but Scarlett quickly pulled me closer to her as she started her verse. I saw her trying to hold in her laughter making me smack her shoulder as we took our positions on the main stage, the crew handing me my mic and I thanked them silently with a small nod.

Scarlette:
It took too long, it took too long, it took too long
For you to call back
And normally, I would just forget that
Except for the fact it was my birthday, my fuckin' birthday

I played along, I played along, I played along
Rolled right off my back
But obviously, my armor was cracked
What kind of a boyfriend would forget that?
Who would forget that?

I pulled the mic stand closer as I bounced up and down.

Scarlett (both):
The type of guy who doesn't see
What he has until she leaves (Don't let me go)
'Cause without me, you know you're lost
Wise up now or pay the cost (Soon you will know)

Both:
You're not livin' 'til you're livin'
Livin' with me
You're not winnin' 'til you're winnin'
Winnin' me
You're not gettin' 'til you're gettin'
Gettin' me
You're not livin' 'til you're livin'
Livin' for me

I faced Scarlett as we continued jumping around the stage, my damn hair going everywhere, her blonde hair doing the same, making the both of us laugh.

Both:
This is the potential brеakup song
Our album needs just one
Oh, baby, please, plеase tell me

I moved forward, singing my part of the song. I bent down, singing it to one of the girl in the audience making her scream.

Michelle:
We got along, we got along, we got along
Until you did that
Now all I want is just my stuff back
Do you get that?
Let me repeat that
I want my shit back
