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.
Losing You
Ali Gatie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Swear that I'll survive with you
Every time we chill
I feel so alive with you
Let me keep it real
I ain't never lie to you
Losing you would kill
Move city to city
Swear that I would just fly for you
Even if I be gettin' busy
I'd make some time for you
Why do you ignore that you miss me
You miss the honesty
I'm just gettin' bored of the fighting
And you tryna fight with me
Just give me a chance
Won't you roll the dice with me
I just need a dance
Won't you spend the night with me
We was moving fast
Are you tryna ride for me
Ride till we crash
You said you'd ride or die for me
If I gotta work
I'll work a 9 to 5 for you
Even if it hurt
I'm tryna sacrifice for you
I'll get you that purse
I'm tryna provide for you
Lovin' you a curse
'Cause I swear that I would cry for you
I would take a shot
Fuck it I'll take a knife for you
Even when you're mean
I'll always be nice to you
You help with my songs
Remember I would write for you
It felt wrong
But everything is right with you
Without you yeah I've been blind
I got better sight with you
You had me on a high
I feel like a kite with you
I was tryna get by
I was tryna get right with you
You taught me how to fly
Now I'm tryna fly with you
Life's been gettin' hard
Swear that I'll survive with you
Every time we chill
I feel so alive with you
Let me keep it real
I ain't never lie to you
Losing you would kill
That's why I would die for you
Baby, I
Really wanna talk to you
I swear you never try
Fed me with your nonsense
You fed me with your lies
I was tryna kiss up on your neck
Kiss up your thighs
Had me mesmerized
I just can't deny
I just wanted you
You want them other guys
I just want the truth
You always love to lie
Never really knew what to do
You act surprised
Why you act surprised (ye, yeahh)
Life's been gettin' hard
Swear that I'll survive with you
Every time we chill
I feel so alive with you
Let me keep it real
I ain't never lie to you
Losing you would kill
That's why I would die for you
