Must Be Love
Christina Grimmie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saying I was gonna leave this town
Leave this town, run away
But then you walked in and I think my heart done skipped a beat
One look and everything just froze
Like a rock rolling down a hill
Like a car with no one at the wheel
Take me to a doctor cause I'm shaking
I'm feeling ill
It must be love, it must be love
It must be love, it must be love
It must be love, it must be love
It's in my heart, it's in my body
It must be love
I'm working all day and night to stay busy, minding my business
Ain't looking for trouble, got no man upon my wishlist
But now you're in my head
Get outta there get here instead
One smile and everything just froze
Like a rock rolling down a hill
Like a car with no one at the wheel
Take me to a doctor cause I'm shaking
I need water tell me do they have a pill
I'm feeling ill
It must be love, it must be love
It must be love, it must be love
It must be love, it must be love
It's in my heart, it's in my body
It must be love
Doctor beat my chest
Get out of my bones
Not ready for this
What's fun on my own
Clashes in my head and there must be something wrong
I don't know what you did
But I can't leave you alone
It must be love, it must be love
It must be love, it must be love
It must be love, it must be love
It must be love, it must be love
It's in my heart, it's in my body
It must be love
The lyrics of Christina Grimmie's song "Must Be Love" tell a story about unexpectedly falling in love with someone. The singer is initially planning to leave town, but then meets someone who makes their heart skip a beat. The person is described as having a magnetic presence that freezes everything around them - like a rock rolling down a hill, or a car with no one at the wheel. The singer's initial reaction is physical - they feel ill and need water or medicine - but they eventually realize that this must be love.
The second verse shows the singer trying to stay busy and avoid trouble, but failing due to thoughts of the person they've fallen for. The line "Get outta there get here instead" shows the frustration and confusion of wanting someone out of their head but also wanting them to be physically present. The lyrics then introduce a metaphor of a clash in the singer's head - there is a feeling that something is wrong, but they can't resist the pull of the love they're experiencing.
Overall, the song conveys the many physical and emotional sensations that can come with falling in love unexpectedly. It also highlights the way that love can interrupt our plans - illustrated by the singer's initial desire to leave town.

I also began listening to her since 2014 even before she auditioned to The Voice. I remember listening to her album With Love again and again while doing homework late at night, she made my difficult college days happy with her music. Since June 11th there's no single day I can't stop thinking of her. #RIPChristinaGrimmie
