Bonnie McKee
Bonnie Leigh McKee (born January 20, 1984) is an American singer and songwriter. Her debut album, Trouble, was released in September 2004 under Reprise Records. After being dropped by Reprise several years after its release, McKee had taken a musical hiatus before establishing a name for herself as a songwriter. McKee has co-written eight singles that have reached #1 in the United States or the United Kingdom, which have sold more than 30 million copies worldwide combined. After sometime of focusing on songwriting, McKee released "American Girl" in July 2013.
McKee is particularly known for collaborating with pop singer Katy Perry, and the duo have co-written the hits "California Gurls," "Teenage Dream," "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)," "Part of Me," "Wide Awake," and "Roar" together. McKee also co-wrote "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz, which became the second best-selling song by a British artist in the digital era.
Early life
Childhood
Bonnie Leigh McKee was born in Vacaville, California and raised in Seattle, Washington. She studied classical piano and became a member of the Seattle Girls Choir Prime Voci at age 12, and toured with the choir throughout North America and Europe. She recorded two albums with the choir, titled Jackson Berkey Meets The Seattle Girls' Choir and Cantate 2000. She briefly attended The Bush School, where she recorded a demo as part of a class project, before being kicked out soon after. At age 12, McKee's mother gave a demo CD featuring her singing Bette Midler and Fiona Apple songs to a friend of hers, the co-founder of the Sub Pop label, Jonathon Poneman, who was intrigued by her songwriting talents. According to McKee, this was the moment when she realized she had to be "more than just a singer," but a songwriter as well.

Head On
by: BONNIE MCKEEI was already late
Just trying to get to my destination
Kept my heart in my safe
To avoid any complications
Thought that I was okay
But objects may be closer than they appear
So I thought I was in the clear
Didn't see it coming but now he's standing face to face
You hit me head on
In a dead on collision
Feelings so strong
You made me lose my vision
Cause I thought that I could hear the break down
Spit it out and it's to late
You hit me head on
In a dead on collision
With you
I was running the light
Trying to avoid the glances
I was ignoring the signs
Never wanting to take my chances
But something about the way you said my name
I came crashing into your lane
Now I will never be the same
Didn't see it coming
Now we're standing face to face
You hit me head on
In a dead on collision
Feelings so strong
You made me lose my vision
Cause I thought that I could hear the break down
Spit it out and it's to late
You hit me head on
In a dead on collision
With you
So I'll take my hands, right off the wheel
See where this thing goes
I kind of like the way it feels
Driving right off the road
This happy accident with you has let me open up and just let go and lose control
You hit me
In a dead on collision
Feelings so strong
You made me lose my vision
Cause I thought that I could hear the break down
Spit it out and it's to late
You hit me head on
In a dead on collision
