If I Go
About the single
On 12 September 2008, If I Go was released as the fourth and final single from Anouk's album Who's Your Momma. After Good God, I Don't Wanna Hurt and Modern World, it was the first real rock single from the album.
The single was released as a 2-track CD single in a cardboard sleeve. Besides the title track, it contains With You, a song that was previously unreleased, it had only been available through Canadian iTunes.
A few years earlier, Anouk had tried to break through in Canada with With You, which makes its inclusion on this single a nice extra detail. If I Go was also chosen as Radio 538's Alarmschijf, just like Modern World.
In If I Go, Anouk sings lower than she had shown in a song before, especially towards the end. Unfortunately, no music video was made for the single, making it a rather modest closing release from the Who's Your Momma era.

But you've got the nerve to make a face
Although I'm strugglin'
You can't tell because I keep it caged
We are together
But I feel you're pushing me aside
The thought won't even cross your mind
You need to take a good look at yourself
'Cause I'm about to close up shop
If you need a servant go find someone else
It's time to step up
'Cause if I go
I'll be taking more with me than you would care to lose
Or you'll see me walk away
Time is up step it up
Just so you know
Nothing you can do could make me turn around again
Your time is up step it up
Do you'll see me walk away
It's time to step up
Yeah time to step it up
Time to step it up
I said it's time babe to step it up
Step it up
If we're together
Why do you feel the need to
Why you're taking chances boy
You leave me all those butterflies
I should ask myself again
Is it worth the trouble through life
Cause I do not know
What to do with your smile
Though years passed you
If I only could replace
All the thoughts I have of you
In my mind
But I don't know
And I don't care what you do
I'm just so glad to see you again
And I don't really understand
Why the touch of your hand
Makes my arms wanna hold you
Cause I am so in love with you
If I could do it all again
I'd say the things I really meant
And all I can do
Sit and wait
Knowing you will say
It's a little too late for you
Yeah I noticed
The ring on your finger
Guess to many years
Have passed by
If I only could erase
All the thoughts I have of you
In my mind
But I don't know
And I don't care what you do
I'm just so glad to see you again
And I don't really understand
Why the touch of your hand
Makes my arms wanna hold you
Cause I am so in love with you
Dreaming as years go by
I'm just another fool
Out in the moonlight
Hiding the tears
I can't stop thinkin' 'bout
What if you weren't to be
For me
But I don't know
And I don't care, what it is?
But I am so glad to see you again
And I don't really understand
Why the touch of your hand
Makes my arms wanna hold you
Yes, I am still in love with you
Yes, I am
In love with you
