Music video by Forever The Sickest Kids performing Nikki. iTunes: smarturl.it/JACKftsk Website: ftskonline.com/ Facebook: / foreverthesickestkids Twitter: / officialftsk (C) 2013 Fearless Records
I remembered the song from Diary of a Wimpy Kid and then my brother remixed it and I said "OKAy wHaT iS THiS SoNG anD WhOmSTd'Ve ORiGInaLLY PeRforMEd iT?" and thats how I found them
I found them when an old online friend showed me coffee break in a discord vc. We lost contact ages ago but the song has good memories of that friend group I’d play games with.
He was the man of every hour He was a party all alone He'd give his jacket to a stranger in the cold She was the beauty queen from dallas She could put a lion on a leash And before he knew himself She knew the man that he could be It's never that easy It never seems right When careful meets carefree And in just 4 minutes they knew each other for life And he said "Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight you can let your hair down Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight You can take a breath now If you only live once Stay in the clouds Never come down Trust me Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight you can let your hair down." She was an Angel craving chaos He was a demon seeking peace But they were each other's toxic cure called codependency He tried to dig his way out of a coffin 'cause she smothered him with care Before they lived in castles They were dying on a prayer It's never that easy It never seems right When careful meets carefree And in just 4 minutes they knew each other for life And he said "Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight you can let your hair down Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight You can take a breath now If you only live once Stay in the clouds Never come down Trust me Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight you can let your hair down..Whoa" It's never that easy It never seems right When careful meets carefree And in just 4 minutes they knew each other for life And he said "Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight you can let your hair down Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight You can take a breath now Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight you can let your hair down Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight You can take a breath now If you only live once Stay in the clouds Never come down Trust me Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight you can let your hair down
Fun fact: All names used in FTSK's songs are actual names of people they know, not just "sub names," if you will, to keep anonymity like a lot of artists do. This song was asked to be written a friend of theirs who wanted a song about his now wife and sticking out the rough patches they were going through and that it'd be worth it in the end. Other examples of songs they have that use real names are "La La Lainey" from J.A.C.K., and "Hey Brittany" from their self-titled debut album.
I like the serious element in this video, really brings the lyrics out and shows you how passionate FTSK is when they write their music. J.A.C.K. is just amazing, you guys took yourselves to another level with songs like Nikki and Ritalin, can't wait for the next two videos!! :D
God, still so amazing. In love with this song and so happy to have finally seen the video! Love you guys so much. Can't wait to see you at Warped again. St. Louis loves yah!
I love it! :) you guys are amazing. Please never stop doing what you do and don't ever let people bring you down. I just wanna say that you guys are my favorite band and your music can make any day better :)
I love this band. They came to my school back in 09 (Northwest High School/NHS) in Justin, Texas. They're so talented and were so nice too. But I haven't seen nothing new from them. Are they still making music?
I have been a huge fan for about 10 years, I am 23 now and still listen to you guys. I am proud to say I am from the same town as you guys.... This is my favorite song off the new album and I was excited for this video but it wasn't as good as a video as I was hoping it would be... Kind of let down
They are one of the most talented and underrated band out there.
There are back they returned 2 years ago in 2017
2018 anyone? Just discovered this band through Spotify... I guess I was super late.
ayy me too!
I remembered the song from Diary of a Wimpy Kid and then my brother remixed it and I said "OKAy wHaT iS THiS SoNG anD WhOmSTd'Ve ORiGInaLLY PeRforMEd iT?" and thats how I found them
Me too! Just came on randomly yesterday while I was playing Bowling for Soup on Spotify.
Saaaame lmao
roku dawn me too!
How am I just finding out about this band in 2020???!!!!
uhm quarantine? :D
I found them when an old online friend showed me coffee break in a discord vc. We lost contact ages ago but the song has good memories of that friend group I’d play games with.
I just found them in late 2022 lol xD
Please tell me I got some fellow peeps watching this with me in 2019!
Amazing and underrated band right here
I was a big fan back when Underdog Alma Mater came out. I just listened to J.A.C.K for the first time this week.
2021
This song pleases my ear holes
Beyond the most underrated bands ever. This song has been on repeat on my Spotify
He was the man of every hour
He was a party all alone
He'd give his jacket to a stranger in the cold
She was the beauty queen from dallas
She could put a lion on a leash
And before he knew himself
She knew the man that he could be
It's never that easy
It never seems right
When careful meets carefree
And in just 4 minutes they knew each other for life
And he said
"Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
you can let your hair down
Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
You can take a breath now
If you only live once
Stay in the clouds
Never come down
Trust me
Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
you can let your hair down."
She was an Angel craving chaos
He was a demon seeking peace
But they were each other's
toxic cure called codependency
He tried to dig his way out of a coffin
'cause she smothered him with care
Before they lived in castles
They were dying on a prayer
It's never that easy
It never seems right
When careful meets carefree
And in just 4 minutes they knew each other for life
And he said
"Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
you can let your hair down
Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
You can take a breath now
If you only live once
Stay in the clouds
Never come down
Trust me
Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
you can let your hair down..Whoa"
It's never that easy
It never seems right
When careful meets carefree
And in just 4 minutes they knew each other for life
And he said
"Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
you can let your hair down
Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
You can take a breath now
Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
you can let your hair down
Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
You can take a breath now
If you only live once
Stay in the clouds
Never come down
Trust me
Alright Nikki, it's alright
Baby tonight you can let your hair down
thankyou so much
2020 anyone? Never tired of listening to this band.

I'm so sad I'd never heard of this band until today. Spotify recommended them, and then the lyrics made me want to watch the video.
I could literally play this song over and over for days
Awesome lyrics : ..."before he knew himself she knew the man that he could be" and "in just 4 minutes they knew each other for life."
