Cee Lo Green is really feeling soulful these days. His last few tracks have been downtempo jams, and while this one picks up the pace a bit, it’s still among his slower tracks. “Sunday Shoes” is an Easter jam, and uses going to church as a metaphor.
The song is gospel-tinged, with Cee Lo paying tribute for the women who raised him, especially during church. He says he dedicates the song to Atlanta as well. The music features live drumming, organs, and some smooth horn work. It’s a jazzy take on your usually Easter Sunday tunes.
Quotable Lyrics
You better wake up
I think somebody's talking to you
You better wake up
there may be something for you to do
don't make me sad and make God mad
he's only gon' choose a few
you better wake up
cause you're wearing your sunday shoes
