Tip of Your Tongue

Tip of Your Tongue <-----Listen here!

"Tip of Your Tongue" is an unreleased Big Time Rush song written by Chris DeStefano, Ashley Gorley, Kendall Schmidt. The song was fully leaked in September 2025. ASCAP 885157936. 

It was a leftover demo from Big Time Rush’s third album, 24/seven. Kendall Schmidt co-wrote and recorded this reassuring ballad with hitmakers Chris DeStefano and Ashley Gorley during a late 2012 writing camp. In a 2013 interview with Pblcty magazine, Schmidt explained the song was about “a girl who was trying to tell you something and just… isn’t saying it, and you’re basically saying, I’ll catch you if you fall. Just say whatever you want to say.”

Schmidt’s demo was among a handful played during an official TikTok live in 2022, in which the boys revisited some unreleased cuts from their original discography.

Lyrics:

You got your guard up, 
You got a wall built all around your heart.  

You think I'll hurt ya, 

You got the wrong idea.  

I see it in your eyes, 

You wanna be mine.
I know you're fallin' for me.  

But you're turnin' away, 

A smile on your face, 

Like you've got something to tell me.  

So, say what you're thinkin', 

Girl, don't be afraid.
You're feelin' inside, 

You don't have to hide.  

Just let it go, 

Don't hold back, baby.  

Cause I'm here to listen, 

So, what's on the tip of your tongue?  

Ooh, ooh, ooh, 

(So, what's on the tip of your tongue?) 

ooh, ooh, ooh, 

(Cause I'm here to listen)

ooh, ooh, ooh, 

You can speak up, 

Tell me anything that's in your head. 

I'll be here to catch ya, 

So fall off the edge 

I see it in your eyes, 

You wanna be mine.
I know you're fallin' for me.  

But you're turnin' away, 

A smile on your face, 

Like you've got something to tell me.  

So, say what you're thinkin', 

Girl, don't be afraid.
You're feelin' inside, 

You don't have to hide.  

Just let it go, 

Don't hold back, baby.  

Cause I'm here to listen, 

So, what's on the tip of your tongue?  

Ooh, ooh, ooh, 

(So, what's on the tip of your tongue?) 

ooh, ooh, ooh, 

 

Let it go, 

Cause baby you never know  

I might be thinkin' the same thing, same thing 

I might be thinkin' the same thing, same thing  

Ooh, ooh, ooh

So, say what you're thinkin', 

Girl, don't be afraid.
You're feelin' inside, 

You don't have to hide.  

Just let it go, 

Don't hold back, baby.  

Cause I'm here to listen, 

So, what's on the tip of your tongue?  

(So, what's on the tip of your tongue?)

(So, what's on the tip of your tongue?)

Tip of your tongue
