She said it's been a little while now
What are we
'Cause they said if he doesn't tie you down
He's still playing

'Cause I'm the one whose calling you baby
So baby

If we want we can call it love
'Cause we know we're meant to be
There ain't no need to find a name for us
'Cause we both know how we feel

It is what it is
Yeah, woah

There ain't no need to find a name for us
'Cause we both know that its real

Overall Meaning

The song "What Is It" by Brixx is a love song that tells the story of two people who are in love but do not want to be tied down with labels. The first verse starts with the woman asking the man what they are because if he doesn't tie her down, he's still playing. However, the chorus brings a different perspective, suggesting that it doesn't matter what they call their relationship because they both know their love is real. In the second verse, the man asks the woman to follow his heart because he's sure that she's the one for him. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing that they don't need to find a name for their love because its existence is all that matters.


The song's lyrics explore the universal themes of love, trust, and self-doubt. In a time of insecurity and instability, people tend to crave fixed things in their lives, and knowing the certainty of their partner's love enables them to feel secure. However, the song suggests that it can be challenging to trust in something such as a relationship fully. By reassuring his partner that he knows she's the one for him, the man encourages her to follow her heart and believe in their love, even when it's uncertain.
