Bonkers Lyrics – Olly Murs | from “Knees Up”

Get ready to go wild with “Bonkers,” the cheeky lead single from Olly Murs’ eighth studio album Knees Up, hitting shelves November 21, 2025, via BMG UK & ICYDK Limited. Fresh off his TV presenting stint on Starstruck and a sold-out 2023 tour, Murs channels his Essex lad charm into this pop banger, serving up a playful ode to being gloriously unfiltered. With lines like “I’m just being myself but to everybody else, I’m bonkers,” he leans into his knack for catchy hooks and dad-joke humor, backed by upbeat guitars and a pub-ready bounce that screams classic Murs. It’s a track that feels like a night out with mates, full of baked beans, bacon, and zero apologies for interrupting the vibe.

Knees Up, named for that proper British knees-up spirit, marks Murs’ return to music after a quieter spell, blending his X Factor-era pop sheen with a matured, self-aware wit. Fans on X and TikTok are eating up the song’s quirky energy, comparing it to his Trouble Maker days but with a 2025 glow-up. “Bonkers” sets the tone for the album’s 12 tracks, which mix party anthems with heartfelt nods to his roots, sharing DNA with cuts like “Lad’s Night” and “Back Home.” It’s Murs embracing his oddball side in a world that’s, well, pretty bonkers itself, making it the perfect anthem for anyone who’s ever felt a bit out of place but owned it anyway. Dive into the Bonkers lyrics below and unpack its cheeky charm. Don’t miss other Knees Up tracks like Still Getting Used (To The Ring) of Olly Murs’ Essex pop magic.
