Key To Love
BADBADNOTGOOD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The key to love is understanding
The key to love is understanding
The key to love
I hear everybody talking about, now, love these days
But so many have the wrong understanding
I just wanna set them straight, yes, I do
Love these days
Love these days
Love these days
Yeah, I wanna talk to all the fellas, yes, I do
To you, you, you and you
You're running around (running around) makin' all the women cry
And if I ask your number, you couldn't tell me why
But I just wanna set you straight, yes, I do
You just don't seem to understand about, now, love these days
Love these days
Love these days
Love these days
The key to love (the key to love, the key to love)
(The key to love, the key to love)
The key to love (the key to love, the key to love)
(The key to love, the key to love) ooh
The key to love (the key to love, the key to love)

The song "Key to Love" by BADBADNOTGOOD feat. Jonah Yano is a beautiful and simple message that speaks about the importance of understanding as a key to love. The repetition of the lyrics, "the key to love is understanding," is a powerful and effective way to communicate the song's message. The first verse points out that people talk a lot about love these days, but many have the wrong understanding of what it truly means. The song expresses the desire to set people straight by giving them a better understanding of love.
The second verse directly addresses men who make women cry by running around and not understanding what love really means. The singer wants to correct their thinking and help them understand that love is about more than just their own satisfaction. The repetition of "love these days" emphasizes that there is an issue in how people think about love, and the key is to understand it better.
Overall, the song speaks to the simple but profound truth that understanding is crucial in relationships of all kinds, especially those built on love. It is a reminder to take the time and effort to understand each other, and to approach love with humility and a desire to learn and grow.

B Minor 7th: 7 x 7 7 7 x
if you cant figure out these chords just google em, i didnt know how to write them down better cause i never wrote chords in comments
but yea, just try and figure out their root tones (the bassy ones) or if they're minors or majors for starters and play around a bit. in most cases you wont be able to figure out what the progression is on the first attempt, but just remember "sucking at something is the first step towards being sorta good at something"
