about

'97 is a song about being sisters and growing up together.

We are sisters - Jennie is 9 years older than Emma (hence the band name Nine Year Sister.)
1997 was the year that Emma was born. We became not only sisters but the best of friends as well – growing up together and later writing and creating original music as a sister duo.
Looking through old photographs of us as kids inspired us to write this song.
'97 is our sister anthem.

lyrics

'97
When I first met you I was nine years old
Always a good girl
Doing what my parents told me to
They didn't have to tell me to love you

'97
We grew up, we grew together
We got love and it's forever
I hope we stay as close as we are now

When I first met you I could only stare and wonder
When will my sister
Take me in her arms where I belong
I didn't have to wait for very long

'97
We grew up, we grew together
We got love and it's forever
I hope we stay as close as we are now
'97
We got lost and learned a lesson
We found love and it's the best thing
I hope we don't forget where we began

Nothing's certain, nothing's free
Time is fading, I can't breathe
Don't you worry, you've got me
And I've got you
'97
'97

'97
We grew up, we grew together
We got love and it's forever
I hope we stay as close as we are now, yeah
'97
We got lost and learned a lesson
But we found love and it's the best thing
I hope we don't forget where we began
In '97
'97
