在歌中，Tata大声重复着自己的誓言：我不要作个灰姑娘，坐在肮脏破旧的地下室；我不要像白雪公主那样，等着白马王子来解救；我要拯救我自己，我不会指望任何人，那铠甲闪着金光的骑士就是我自己！——独立、坚强、自信就是这首《Cinderella》给你的听觉冲击，梦想作小公主的女孩们，醒醒了！
Cinderella
Tata Young
When I was just a little girl my momma used to tuck me into bed
And she'd read me a story
It always was about a Princess in distress
And how a guy would save her and end up with the glory
I'd lie in bed and think about the person that I want to be
Then one day I realized the fairy tale life wasn't for me
(Chorus)
I don't wanna be like Cinderella, sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white unless we're riding side by side
Don't want to depend on no one else. I'd rather rescue myself
Someday I'm gonna find someone who wants my soul, heart and mind
Who's not afraid to show that he loves me
Somebody who will understand I'm happy just the way I am
Don't need nobody taking care of me
I will be there for him just as strong as he will be there for me
When I give myself then it has got to be, an equal thing
(Chorus)
I can slay my own dragons. I can dream my own dreams
My knight in shining armour is me. So I'm gonna set me free
(Chorus) (Repeat)
