At age 15, Sawyer Fredericks was declared the winner on the eighth season of The Voice, making him the youngest champion in the show's history. Now, just a month short of turning 17, Fredericks is continuing to make waves in the music world with his new song, "Take It All."
After his blind audition of "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow" on The Voice, Fredericks managed to turn all four coaches' chairs, eventually selecting Pharrell Williams as his coach.
It quickly became clear that Fredericks was a front runner in the competition, and his songs from the show broke sales records for The Voice on iTunes. Due to the sales of his songs and his large following on social media, it came as no surprise when Fredericks was crowned the champion for the season.
Following The Voice, Fredericks signed a recording contract with Republic Records in May 2015 and released his four track EP a few months later, including the featured single "Take It All."
Fredericks first shared his song with fans during a guest appearance on Season 9 of The Voice. Now, Fredericks has released the official music video for the song, which is also his first music video ever.
The music video shows Fredericks walking through a shabby-looking shack and the surrounding countryside as he sings, before switching to show a man leaving his love behind, presumably after a breakup. After that, the video moves back and forth between the man and an older version of himself, who looks longingly at a picture of him and his former flame.
We won't spoil the ending for you, so you'll have to see it for yourself! You can watch Fredericks' music video debut below.
Congratulations to Fredericks on a great song and a beautiful video! We can't wait to hear more from him in the future.
LYRICS BELOW
My head is spinning around and my heart is on the floor
Beating louder than the roar of thunder
Banging on my door
So take it all, take it all
I left my world wide open
It felt like a dream
You found me as another, I barely knew my name
You take it all, oh take it all
Take the hurt in my chest
Take the pain in my eyes
Take the fear in my soul
Take the tears that I cry
You call me out of my head and I was ready to fall
Cause you are all that I need
So take it all
Take it all
My body's almost broken, it can't contain my soul
This storm is going quiet, but I still feel the cold
I left my world behind me, I'll never be the same
But these memories still screaming loud, calling out my name
Take it all
Take the hurt in my chest
Take the pain in my eyes
Take the fear in my soul
Take the tears that I cry
You call me out of my head and I was ready to fall
Cause you are all that I need
So take it all
Take it all
Hay now, its hard to let go of everything that I use to know
Hay now, there's nothing left to hold and darling I can't make it alone
Take the hurt in my chest
Take the pain in my eyes
Take the fear in my soul
Take the tears that I cry
You call me out of my head and I was ready to fall
Cause you are all that I need
So take it all
Take it all
