Myers, BabyJake is the latest music artist to acquire buzz out of South West, Florida. While his entry into music started at a young age, his plan out of high school was to play college sports. After a year, he dropped out and returned home to record and release music under his government name, Jake Herring. After self-releasing an EP titled "Little Mess", and a single, “Miami” that garnered attention online, he connected with producers Luyo Mario and DVLP who saw Jake’s true potential for stardom. He inked a deal with School Boy Records and Republic Records through DVLP’s Transcendent Entertainment imprint after catching the attention of Scooter Braun with a new name [BabyJake] and a whole new angle to his craft. Harnessing his knack for strong songwriting through his folk past mixed with his love of hip-hop, BabyJake is geared to mix genres and feelings in a way that’s never been done before. “My goal is to reach out to people and connect to their hearts the way my lyrics connect to mine,” he says. “You don’t have to have the same experiences to have the same feelings.”

BabyJake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we go again
Here we go again

I was smoking cigarettes on patios
I was drinking beer with my friends
I was tryna boogie down a night, vodka with the Sprite
Here we go again (here we go again)
I was smoking cigarettes on patios
I was throwin' money in the air
Maybe I should pick that shit back up, bet my night on love
Here we go again (here we go again)

I was smoking cigarettes on patios (oh yeah)
Then the neighbors called the opps (oh shit)
Never thought I'd be a criminal (criminal, criminal)
Mama made a boss

Let's slide to the next damn party in the neighborhood
The night just started, might not make it home
Just a bunch of runaways, but we only running to the grave
Nothing you can really say

I was smoking cigarettes on patios
I was drinking beer with my friends
I was tryna boogie down a night, vodka with the Sprite
Here we go again (here we go again)
I was smoking cigarettes on patios
I was throwin' money in the air
Maybe I should pick that shit back up, bet my night on love
Here we go again (here we go again)

I was smoking cigarettes on patios
In my sugar mama's crib
She told me "hurry up, we gotta go"
I said here we go again

Let's slide to the next damn party in the neighborhood
The night's now over, I ain't make it home
Just a bunch of runaways, but we only running to the grave
Only running to the grave

I was smoking cigarettes on patios
I was drinking beer with my friends
I was tryna boogie down a night, vodka with the Sprite
Here we go again (here we go again)
I was smoking cigarettes on patios
I was throwin' money in the air
Maybe I should pick that shit back up, bet my night on love
Here we go again (here we go again)

Cigarettes on patios, beer with my friends
Called up on a Friday night, here we go again

I was smoking smoking cigarettes on patios
I was drinking beer with my friends
I was tryna boogie down a night, vodka with the sprite
Here we go again (here we go again)

I was smoking cigarettes on patios
I was throwin' money in the air




Maybe I should pick that shit back up, bet my night on love
Here we go again (here we go again)

Overall Meaning

In this song, BabyJake talks about the cycle of partying and indulging in vices, specifically smoking cigarettes and drinking beer with friends on patios. He begins by reflecting on his past experiences doing this and realizing that he's repeating the same patterns that he thought he had left behind. He acknowledges that his behaviors have consequences, such as the police being called by his neighbors, but he also feels like he's living life to the fullest by taking these risks. He talks about going to parties with his friends, and the fun and excitement that come with being young and carefree. However, it's clear that he's aware of the fleeting nature of these moments, as he says that they are only running towards the grave. Throughout the song, there's an underlying sense of recklessness and a desire for something more meaningful, symbolized by the idea of betting his night on love instead of throwing money in the air. Ultimately, "here we go again" becomes a catchphrase that encapsulates both the thrill and the monotony of his life.
