I Wanna Know
Alesso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Day turns into night, you light up my dark, you light up my dark
You're the one that I see waking up next to me
And I hope it's the same for you
But you play with my mind when you send me these signs
And I see other guys get 'em too
Hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
Where do we go, where do we go
From hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
Why are you keeping me on hold
Don't wanna leave this place alone
Is it a yes or is it no (ahwoo)
I wanna know, I wanna know
Hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
Diamonds in your eyes cover your lies, cover your lies
Trust me we can be special tonight, special tonight
You're the one that I see waking up next to me
And I hope it's the same for you
But you play with my mind when you send me these signs
And I see other guys get 'em too
I wanna know, I wanna know
Hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
Where do we go, where do we go
From hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
Why are you keeping me on hold
Don't wanna leave this place alone
Is it a yes or is it no (ahwoo)
I wanna know, I wanna know
Hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
Oh, oh, oh
Trust me, we can be special tonight, special tonight
I wanna know, I wanna know
Hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
(I want you)
Where do we go, where do we go
From hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
(I want you)
Why are you keeping me on hold
Don't wanna leave this place alone
Is it a yes or is it no (ahwoo)
I wanna know, I wanna know
Hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
The lyrics of "I wanna know" by Alesso Nico & Vinz is a love song that talks about the uncertainties that come with falling in love. The first verse describes the beauty that the person exudes, and how that person illuminates the darkness the singer feels in their life. The chorus is about the singer wanting to know where the relationship is going and whether the person they have feelings for feels the same way. The singer expresses their frustration on being kept on hold and needing a straight answer; they do not want to leave this place of uncertainty alone.
The second verse talks about the singer feeling a sense of deception from the person they love, which is symbolized as diamonds in their eyes that cover their lies. The fun and upbeat tune contrasts with the fear of the unknown and feelings of insecurity that are usually associated with new relationships. The bridge is an attempt to convince the person to give in to their feelings, and the singer expresses their willingness to make the night special.
Overall, the song is catchy and has a relatable message that is often associated with getting to know someone new.
