The song "I've Got the World on a String" by Joey McIntyre is a cover of the classic jazz standard originally written by Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler. The song was first recorded by Bing Crosby in 1932 and has since been covered by numerous artists. The lyrics depict a person who feels like they have everything in life and love. They feel on top of the world, sitting on a rainbow, with a string tied around their finger symbolizing control and influence over their surroundings. They believe they can make anything happen, even making the rain go away, simply by moving their finger. This person feels lucky and deeply in love, considering life a wonderful thing while holding onto this string. The protagonist emphasizes the importance of the string, as they believe it is what keeps their life so blissful and successful. They express their fear of losing this string and becoming a "silly so-and-so" or a "crazy so-and-so" if they were to let it go. Ultimately, they highlight the joy and fulfillment that being in love brings to their world. McIntyre's rendition of the song adds his signature style and interpretation to the classic tune.
