24 hours ago
I was just sitting home, me and my phone
Got a text from my friend
Telling me come out to this party
Told myself what the hell, ordered a car
Pulled up, walked in straight to the bar
Ordered a shot, ordered one more
Looked to my left and there you were

24 hours ago
Baby I didn't know that I can't live without you
I wasn't looking for this
Never thought that one kiss, could change all that I know
24 hours ago

I don't know why you said hi
Wishing I didn't say I'm doing fine
How are you, what's your name
Where you from, what are you drinking
Yeah I don't know where the time went
Going and going we started at 10
But in my defense, they played Prince
Lost control and I just leaned in

24 hours ago
Baby I didn't know that I can't live without you
I wasn't looking for this
Never thought that one kiss, could change all that I know
24 hours ago

24 hours ago, I didn't know you
24 hours ago, I didn't need you
24 hours ago, ooh woah, ooh woah
24 hours ago, I never kissed you
24 hours ago, I didn't miss you
24 hours ago, ooh woah, ooh woah

24 hours ago
Baby I didn't know that I can't live without you
I wasn't looking for this
Never thought that one kiss, could change all that I know
24 hours ago
24 hours ago
Oh yeah
24 hours ago
24 hours ago, I never kissed you
24 hours ago, I didn't miss you

Overall Meaning

The song "24 Hours" by Clean Bandit featuring Yasmin Green speaks about the unexpectedness of finding love at a party. The singer recounts how, only 24 hours ago, they were sitting at home, minding their business until they received a text from their friend inviting them to a party. At the party, the singer sees someone on their left and instantly feels drawn to them. Fast forward one day, and the thought of not having this person in their life is inconceivable. The lyrics suggest that love can come in the least expected and most casual moments, and can change one's life in a mere 24 hours.


However, despite the love that has been found, the lyrics also convey a hint of regret. The singer wishes they didn't say they were fine when the other person first approached them. This shows that there might have been some fear of what was happening at the time, as the singer did not expect to fall in love so quickly. Furthermore, the lyrics talk about how they didn't even know each other a mere 24 hours ago, yet now they can't imagine not having each other in their lives. This contrasts with the initial apprehension towards the idea of love and intimacy, but the singer seems to have given into their feelings and fallen in love, regardless of their initial reservations.
