XO
Beyoncé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your love is bright as ever
Even in the shadows
Baby kiss me
Before they turn the lights out
Your heart is glowing
And I'm crashing into you
Baby kiss me
Before they turn the lights out
Baby love me lights out
[Pre-Chorus]
In the darkest night I'll (In the darkest night I'll)
I'll search through the crowd (I'll search through the crowd)
Your face is all that I see
I'll give you everything
Baby love me lights out
Baby love me lights out
You can turn my lights out
[Verse 2]
We don't have forever
Baby daylight's wasting
You better kiss me
Before our time is run out
Nobody sees what we see
They're just hopelessly gazing
Baby take me
Before they turn the lights out
Before time is run out
Baby love me lights out
[Pre-Chorus]
In the darkest night I'll (In the darkest night I'll)
I'll search through the crowd (I'll search through the crowd)
Your face is all that I see
I'll give you everything
Baby love me lights out
Baby love me lights out
You can turn my lights out
[Chorus]
I love you like XO
You love me like XO
You kill me boy XO
You love me like XO
All that I see
Give me everything
Baby love me lights out
Baby love me lights out
You can turn my lights out
[Pre-Chorus]
In the darkest night I'll (In the darkest night I'll)
I'll search through the crowd (I'll search through the crowd)
Your face is all that I see
I'll give you everything
Baby love me lights out
Baby love me lights out
You can turn my lights out
In this song, Beyoncé sings about the intensity of her love and how it shines through even in the darkest of times. She urges her lover to kiss her before the lights are turned off, both literally and metaphorically, emphasizing that their time together is precious and limited. The singer discusses how their love is unique and special, with many people around them only looking on hopelessly while they share a bond that is stronger than anything else in the world. Beyoncé uses the powerful metaphor of lights going out to demonstrate the urgency and passion of their relationship, making the song both romantic and intense.
The lyrics in the pre-chorus speak to the strength of their connection, with Beyoncé declaring that she sees nothing but her lover's face through the darkness. She promises to give everything she has to this relationship and encourages her partner to do the same. The chorus repeats the refrain that they love each other like XO, which stands for hugs and kisses, and that their love is strong enough to withstand any trying circumstance.
XO was released on Beyoncé's self-titled album in 2013, and the song has a fun and upbeat pop sound to it. The lyrics showcase the singer's powerful voice and the song's catchy melody makes it a popular love anthem. The song is a big hit with Beyoncé's fans and is frequently included in her live performances.
