Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whoa, oh
Whoa, oh
Yeah
What it's gon' take? (Take)
What it's gon' take to make you shake your worries away (shake)
I'm finally seeing you face to face (face, hey)
You got what I want, I see you walking away
This feels too real, I hope we could be the same
Back and forth but you won't get nowhere
I just want to relive this over
I need you to know (I need you to know)
In my mind you don't ever let go
So bright, baby, never turn the lights out
I'll be there to catch you if you fall
Do we matter at all? (Yeah)
What it's gon' take? (Take)
What it's gon' take to make you shake your worries away (shake)
I'm finally seeing you face to face (face, hey)
It's your beauty girl, plus your frame (ooh, ooh)
And I can't wait (wait)
In a lil' teeny 'kini shit 'cause she love to sunbathe (bathe)
Usually I don't even trip but I can't see you walking away (way)
She don't even know how I do all this shit in one day (ooh)
I got the moves here
You got the juice here
We can get loose and go wild, wild, wild
Playing for keeps, yeah
Don't want to waste time
Hop in with me, take a ride, ride, ride
Swerving in Phantoms, oh yeah (oh yeah)
She said I look handsome, oh yeah (oh, oh yeah)
Jump on the jet, we can talk when we land
Baby know I got her in the palm of my hands now
Down to cut all ties, baby, you live life
Do this in a new town, baby, I don't mind
Do this like a young Skywalker ('Walker)
Baby, you're a real smooth talker (Jackson)
What it's gon' take? (Take)
What it's gon' take to make you shake your worries away (shake)
I'm finally seeing you face to face (face, hey)
It's your beauty girl, plus your frame (ooh, ooh)
The lyrics of Joji and Jackson Wang's "Walking" talk about the desire to be with someone and the willingness to do what it takes to overcome any obstacles in the way. The song opens up with the repetition of "Whoa, oh," which adds an air of excitement and sets the mood for the rest of the song. It then dives into the question of "What it's gon' take?" to make the person "shake" their "worries away." This introduces the idea that the singer is aware that the person they're interested in might have some worries or burdens that they want to help shake off.
The following lines mention finally seeing the person face to face and admiring their appearance, which confirms that the singer has been observing the person from afar for a while. The lyrics "You got what I want, I see you walking away" suggest that the person might be walking away from the singer, but they want to keep them close. The singer mentions they hope they can "be the same," which implies they want to be in a relationship with the person.
The next lines about "Back and forth but you won't get nowhere" could mean that the person they're interested in is hesitant or playing hard to get. However, the singer just wants to relive the experience and let the person know that they don't ever let go in their mind. The following lines mention bright lights and catching the person if they fall, indicating that they want to protect and support them. The question "Do we matter at all?" heightens the emotional stakes and explores the possibility that their chemistry is one-sided.
The next lines sung by Jackson Wang introduce a different perspective to the song. He mentions the person in a "teeny 'kini" and how she likes to sunbathe. The chorus is repeated again, and after that, Jackson's lines continue with the mention of his moves and the person's juice, setting up for a sensual moment. He mentions playing for keeps and not wanting to waste time, which might indicate that he wants a more serious type of relationship.
