Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you the most
I gave you the key when the door wasn't open
Just admit it
See, I gave you faith, turned your doubt into hoping, can't deny it
Now I'm all alone and my joys turned to moping
Tell me here, where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now? (where are you now?)
Where are you now that I need ya?
Couldn't find you anywhere
When you broke down I didn't leave ya
I was by your side
So where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
I gave you attention when nobody else was payin', hm
I gave you the shirt off my back whatchu sayin'
To keep you warm
I showed you the game everybody else was playin', that's for sure
And I was on my knees when nobody else was prayin', oh Lord
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, (Where are you now that I need ya?)
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you the most
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
I need you the most
I need you the most
I need you the most
The lyrics to Jack U's "Where Are U Now" are an emotional plea to someone who has left the singer alone when they needed them the most. The repeated line "I need you" conveys the desperation of the singer, emphasizing the importance of this person to them. The opening lines, "I gave you the key when the door wasn't open / Just admit it", suggest that the singer empowered and trusted the person they're addressing, but they weren't reciprocated in the same way. The following lines, "See, I gave you faith, turned your doubt into hoping, can't deny it / Now I'm all alone and my joys turned to moping," further illustrate the singer's frustration and sadness.
The chorus asks the question "Where are you now that I need ya?", emphasizing the abandonment the singer feels. The next lines, "Couldn't find you anywhere / When you broke down I didn't leave ya / I was by your side," suggest that the singer was supportive and loyal, but this person has left them in their time of need. The second verse repeats the theme of the singer being there for this person, emphasizing the sacrifices they made, but the person has still left them alone. The song's emotional delivery, with a pulsing beat and Justin Bieber's emotive vocals, serve to underline the heartbreak and pain of the lyrics.
