Ali Gatie was born to Iraqi parents in Yemen in 1997. His family moved to Abu Dhabi before settling in Mississauga, Ontario. He grew up listening to Ed Sheeran, J. Cole and Frank Ocean, who influenced his music.
Gatie started pursuing a music career at the age of 18 and started to record in 2016. This decision later caused him to drop out of university.[2] In 2017, he won an online RhymeStars competition hosted by Joe Budden. After releasing a string of singles in 2018, he was signed by Warner Records.[3] The song "Moonlight" would turn out to be his first commercial success, garnering nearly 14 million views on YouTube. However, the release of "It's You" in June 2019 would become his mainstream breakthrough;[4] an "explosive streaming story," as of December 2019, it had exceeded 650 million streams.[5][6] On 8 November 2019, Gatie released his first album, You. A 12-minute film accompanied the release, which included seven new songs.[7] Gatie's snippet of his next single "What If I Told You That I Love You," released on the video-sharing social networking app TikTok, went viral, amassing over 20 million engagements. Released in January 2020, the single was described by Rolling Stone as "a breezy, springtime-fresh midtempo track" and peaked at number 36 on Billboard's Hot Canadian Digital Song Sales Chart.
Helpless
Ali Gatie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I hope you're falling for me too
I'm just falling for you, for you
I fell so easy
But can you blame me?
Have you looked into a mirror lately?
I felt so helpless like the rainfall
It's the way you are
I would never change a thing
You're an angel from above
So your love can't replaced (love can't be replace)
You got me feeling things I never felt
I met you and I swear it's been over since
The way you feel, you're feeling heaven sent
Your eyes, they tell me everything
You don't gotta smile
Or put blush on your cheeks (no, oh)
You don't gotta dress up for me (for me)
You don't gotta try to do anything
I'm falling for you helplessly
(You got me wondering)
It's the way you are
I would never change a thing (never change a thing)
You're an angel from above
So your love can't replaced (love can't replaced)
You got me feeling things I never felt
I met you and I swear it's been over since
The way you feel, you're feeling heaven sent
Your eyes, they tell me everything
You got me feeling things I never felt
I met you and I swear it's been over since
The way you feel, you're feeling heaven sent
Your eyes, they tell me everything
Your eyes, they tell me everything (hmm)
Your eyes, they tell me everything (hmm)
