Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mm whatcha say?
Mm that you only meant well?
Well of course you did
Mm whatcha say?
(Jason Derulo)
Mm that it's all for the best?
Of course it is
I was so wrong for so long
Only tryin' to please myself
Girl, I was caught up in her lust
When I don't really want no one else
Oh, no, I know I should've treated you better
But me and you were meant to last forever
So let me in
(Let me in)
Give me another chance
(Another chance)
To really be a man
'Cause when the roof caved in and the truth came out
I just didn't know what to do
But when I become a star we'll be living so large
I'll do anything for you
So tell me girl
Mm whatcha say?
Mm that you only meant well?
Well of course you did
Mm whatcha say?
(Whatcha say? Whatcha say?)
Mm that it's all for the best?
Of course it is
Mm whatcha say?
Mm that you only meant well?
Well of course you did
Mm whatcha say?
(Whatcha say? Whatcha say?)
Wh-wh-wh-what did she say?
How could I live with myself
Knowing that I let our love go?
And ooh, what I'd do for one chance
I just gotta let you know
I know what I did wasn't clever
But me and you were meant to be together
So let me in
(Let me in)
Give me another chance
(Another chance)
To really be a man
'Cause when the roof caved in and the truth came out
I just didn't know what to do
But when I become a star we'll be living so large
I'll do anything for you
So tell me girl
Mm whatcha say?
Mm that you only meant well?
Well of course you did
Mm whatcha say?

The lyrics to Jason Derülo's song Whatcha Say describe a man who has been caught cheating on his significant other and is begging for forgiveness. The song is essentially a plea from the man to his partner to give him another chance to make things right in their relationship. The opening lines are a repetition of the phrase "whatcha say", which is a way of the man asking his partner to repeat herself and to clarify that she only meant well. He acknowledges that he was wrong for a long time and was caught up in lust with someone else. He is aware that he should have treated his partner better, but he asks for another chance to make up for his mistakes.
The chorus of the song repeatedly uses the phrase "mm whatcha say" and "mm that it's all for the best" to emphasize the man's plea for forgiveness and the idea that everything will be okay if his partner gives him another chance. He is insistent on being given another chance to prove that he can be the man that his partner deserves. The song has a melancholic tone to it, which emphasizes the man's regret and remorse for hurting his partner. Overall, the song is a reflection on the fragility of relationships and how one mistake can damage something that was meant to last forever.
