Discover the story of the song > Drop The Pilot – Joan Armatrading

The protagonist of the song is suggesting to her partner that they should break up with their current pilot (metaphorically referring to their current partner) and try something new. She expresses that she is the one they need, and that if they choose her, she can take them higher than they've ever been before. She urges them not to fight a losing battle and to choose her instead.
