Back To Love
Chris Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know I might let you down
Every twice in a while
And I apologize
I get emotional sometimes, ha
But I'll keep running with my best foot forward
'Cause the race to love is never over
You made me genuinely better
You opened my heart, oh
You got me back to love
Back to love
Let's get back to love
I know I lost it, now I wanna get it back
You know I wanna get it back
There's a light on the path
And now I found it, here with you is where it's at
Now I'm never looking back
No, I'm never going back
I
Might get lost in the clouds
Every once in a while but I found a way out, huh
I get stronger with time, ooh
You opened my heart, oh (oh)
You got me back to love (oh, woah) (that's where I'm meant to be, that's where I'm meant to be)
Ooh, back to love (right where we're meant to be, right where we're meant to be)
Can we get back to love? (Can we get back? Can we get back?)
To how we used to be
I know I lost it now I wanna get it back
You know I wanna get it back
There's a light on the path
And now I found it, here with you is where it's at
Now I'm never looking back
No, I'm never going back
Had a good girl but I ain't treat her right
I was up in her head with bullshit every night
Took a little time, but now I got it right
You opened my eyes up to see the light
But I'll keep running with my best foot forward
'Cause the race to love is never over (over)
I wanna be better for ya (for ya)
You made me genuinely better
You opened my heart, oh (oh)
You got me back to love (oh, woah) (that's where I'm meant to be, that's where I'm meant to be)
Back to love (right where we're meant to be, right where we're meant to be)
Let's get back to love? (Can we get back? Can we get back?)
Can we get back to love? (Aah)
Back to love
Can we get back to love?
Back to love
I know I lost it, now I wanna get it back
You know I wanna get it back
There's a light on the path
And now I found it, here with you is where it's at
Now I'm never looking back
No, I'm never going back
The lyrics of Chris Brown's song "Back to Love" convey his apology for his past mistakes and his desire to rekindle the love he once had with his partner. The opening lines express his awareness of sometimes being less than perfect in the relationship and the subsequent apology. The song then takes a turn towards expressing his determination to keep working hard for love as it's an ongoing journey, and he wants to improve himself for his partner. The chorus repeatedly asks to get back to love, and the singer reflects on how being with his partner has opened his heart to love again after losing it previously.
The lyrics appear to indicate a sense of regret for past mistakes and the desire to redeem oneself, a journey of self-improvement requires effort and self-reflection, which the artist is promising his partner to do. He's found a light on the path towards redemption and is never looking back, instead looking forward to new beginnings with his significant other.
As for the music itself, "Back to Love" features a classic R&B sound with a smooth and elegant slow groove in the background, perfectly complementing Brown's soulful voice. The electric guitar riffs provide a nice touch to the song's melody, and the overall production creates an atmosphere of intimacy and emotional impact.

@MonicaGriego22
I learned not to care about who's on top charts because some songs are better than the #1 songs. It's always the songs we have to dig for on the album. Like "Stuck On Stupid" or "Autumn Leaves" those are awesome 😎🥀💯🙏
