The Always Never project – and the origin of the duo’s name – centres around the theme of contradiction, which is reflected in their songwriting. They draw inspiration from real life experiences, particularly relationships – especially when those in relationships let you down. People who are Always, yet Never, there.

Always Never Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hanging on the edge of my
Fears like I'm trying to let go
Suddenly I'm falling quick
Head feels like an elephants
Scared of who I was before, yeah
Feel I'm my own enemy
Telling me I'm telling me
I heard it from another one
I can't trust anyone
Wish I never had to know
'Cause I
I know you're up to no good
Girl you're up to no good
Girl you're up to no good
Yeah
I know you're up to no good
Girl you're up to no good
Girl you're up to no good
I bought back my sanity, got it now
Give me some reason to try this now
I'm just here waiting to solve it now
Solve it now
Solve it now
I've been in front of you
This whole time in front of you, I
Just want the truth
Catch me on a summer night
Hanging on the edge of my
Fears like I'm trying to let go
Suddenly I'm falling quick
Head feels like an elephants
Scared of who I was before
Feel I'm my own enemy
Telling me I'm telling me
This is how it always goes
I heard it from another one
I can't trust anyone
Wish I never had to know
'Cause I
I know you're up to no good
Girl you're up to no good
Girl you're up to no good
Yeah
'Cause I know you're up to no good
Girl you're up to no good
Girl you're up to no good
I know you're up to no good
Girl you're up to no good
Girl you're up to no good
Yeah
'Cause I know you're up to no good
Girl you're up to no good
Girl you're up to no good
The lyrics of "No Good" by Always Never appear to capture the feelings of an individual grappling with their internal demons on a summer night. The singer of the song acknowledges their fears, which they seem to feel are holding them back, and suggests that there's a part of themselves that they have gone to great lengths to suppress. Perhaps it’s a part that is judgmental of others or one that lacks faith in their own abilities. They seem to be trying to free themselves from these inhibitions, but their efforts always leave them feeling the same way. The overall theme of the song appears to be one of self-doubt and mistrust of others. The artist feels like an enemy to themselves and is unable to trust the people around them.
The chorus of the song repeats the words "I know you're up to no good, girl you're up to no good," which seems to suggest that the singer's problems are tied to a specific person, most likely a woman. The song offers no detail about who this woman is or what she has done to make the singer feel this way about her. However, judging from the tone of the lyrics, it appears that the singer may have been betrayed or hurt by this person in the past.
Overall, "No Good" by Always Never is an emotional song that's open to interpretation. It appears to address feelings of mistrust, self-doubt, and betrayal, which are common themes in many songs in the RnB genre.

Catch me on a summer night
On a warm evening, I find myself lost and uncertain
Hanging on the edge of my fears like I'm trying to let go
My fears consume me, and I struggle to overcome them
Suddenly I'm falling quick
Things escalate quickly, and I am helpless
Head feels like an elephant's
My head is heavy with worry and anxiety
Scared of who I was before, yeah
I am afraid of who I used to be, and the mistakes I made
Feel I'm my own enemy
I am my worst enemy, standing in the way of my own progress
Telling me I'm telling me, this is how it always goes
I am constantly reminding myself of the failures of the past
I heard it from another one
Someone else told me, and now it's on my mind
I can't trust anyone
I feel alone and unable to trust others
Wish I never had to know
I wish I didn't have to deal with this

I bought back my sanity, got it now
I have regained control of my mental state
Give me some reason to try this now

I know you're up to no good, girl you're up to no good
I am convinced that you are not trustworthy
Girl you're up to no good, yeah
You are not to be trusted, and I am fully aware of it

@Adrian D Montero J Bieber? You mean The Weeknd, but it's more is vibe than it's voice. Justin Bieber doesn't do songs like this as far as I know, but Weeknd does, or could.
Adrian D Montero
because his 1st voice is similar to J Bieber, the second voice is more original but only use in the Chorus
