Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Because I'm trying to do the best I can
And they can't find something to satisfy me, ugh

Mmm, yeah, yuh
Even though you're bad for me, I know
You're the one that I'm thinkin'
Got me feelin' so incredible
Would you mind maybe linkin'?

Love me, love me, baby
Are you down? Can you let me know?
Love me, thank you, leave me
Put it down, then it's time to go
Get it like you love me
But you don't, boy, it's just for show
Take it or leave it, you gotta take it or leave it, like uh

Don't want you in my bloodline, yuh
Just wanna have a good time, yuh
Ain't no need to apologize, no
But you gon' have to let this shit go
Don't want you in my bloodline, yuh
Not tryna make you all mine, yuh
Ain't no need to apologize, no
But you gon' have to let this shit go, yeah

Yeah-eh-eh

Yeah, that ship sailed away

Love me, love me, baby
Are you down? Can you let me know?
Love me, thank you, leave me
Put it down, then it's time to go

Overall Meaning

In Ariana Grande's song Bloodline, she sings about a hedonistic approach to love and relationships. She admits that she knows the person she's involved with is bad for her, but she can't help but allow them into her life. Ariana discusses how she's searching for something to fulfill her, but nothing seems to quite do the trick. She's merely looking for a good time, with no desire for any lasting attachment. Ariana acknowledges that even though she loves this person, their relationship will never be serious, and they will "never be talking the next day."


The chorus, "Don't want you in my bloodline, yuh. Just wanna have a good time, yuh," shows that she's looking for a purely physical connection with this person and doesn't want to have any emotional tie to them. The phrase 'bloodline' is used here as a metaphor for the type of connection that runs deep and is typically used to describe family ties. By saying she doesn't want this person in her bloodline, Ariana Grande is making it clear that she doesn't want to have anything to do with them beyond their short-term fling.


Overall, the song emphasizes the importance of knowing your own needs and desires in a relationship and being honest with yourself and your partner about what those are. It also showcases Ariana Grande's confidence and assertiveness, as she's willing to stand up for herself and what she wants, even if it means walking away from someone she cares about.

on Love Me Harder

Tell me something I need to know
Then take my breath and never let it go
If you just let me invade your space
I'll take the pleasure, take it with the pain

And if in the moment, I bite my lip
Baby, in that moment, you'll know this is
Something bigger than us and beyond bliss
Give me a reason to believe it


'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(Lo-love me harder)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder

I know your motives and you know mine
The ones that love me, I tend to leave behind
If you know about me and choose to stay
Then take this pleasure and take it with the pain

And if in the moment you bite your lip
When I get you moaning, you know it's real
Can you feel the pressure between your hips?
I'll make it feel like the first time

'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(I'ma love you harder)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder (love me, baby, love me)
(Lo-love me harder)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder (oh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder (you gotta love me harder)

So what do I do if I can't figure it out? (Figure it out)
You got to try, try, try again, yeah (whoa)
So what do I do if I can't figure it out? (Figure it out)
I'm gonna leave, leave, leave again

'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(I'ma love you, love you, love)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(Got to love me, baby)
'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(Love me harder)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta (I'ma do it, do it, do it)
Got to love me harder
(I'ma love you harder, hey)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me (love me)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder
(Boy, you gotta love me, love me, baby)
Love me, love me, love me
(Just a little bit harder, harder, baby)
Harder, harder, harder
