Ask me what I did with my life
I spent it with you
If I lose my fame and fortune (really don't matter)
As long as I got you, baby

(Clap your hands, drop so right)
(Clap your hands, drop so right)
(Clap your hands, drop so right)
As long as I got you, baby
(Clap your hands, drop so right)
(Clap your hands, drop so right)

As long as I got you

Ask me what I did with my life

As the years, they pass us by (years they, years they, years they)
We stay young through each other's eyes (each other's eyes)
And no matter, oh yeah, it's okay

Overall Meaning

The song "I Got U" by Duke Dumont featuring Jax Jones is a romantic dance track about finding true love and how it doesn't matter what happens in life as long as the two lovers have each other. The central theme of the song is the singer's undying love for his partner and how he is willing to sacrifice everything for her.


The lyrics of the song are simple, yet powerful. The opening line, "Ask me what I did with my life, I spent it with you," sets the tone for the track. The singer then goes on to say that even if he loses everything else, it does not matter as long as he has his partner. The phrases "Clap your hands, drop so right" and "As long as I got you, baby" are repeated throughout the song, adding to the song's catchy and upbeat tone.


The song also features the idea of growing old together and staying young through each other's eyes. It tells us that love makes everything worth it, and as long as the two people in love have each other, nothing else matters.


This song's popularity exploded when it was featured in a YouTube video of a man dancing his way around the world. The video features Matt Bray, who spent three months traveling the world and performed the same dance routine in all the locations he visited.
