After the release of her debut independent single "Peppermint" in 2014, Jones released her first independent project Let Me Check It in 2017. This was followed by another EP two years later called H.D.W.Y.
In September 2020, Jones spoke on her YouTube channel about her negative experiences in the beginning of her career with Disney and Hollywood Records. According to her, she was told following Let It Shine that she would star in a sequel to the movie, be given her own television series, and be able to release a studio album. Eventually, executives decided she was not marketable enough, and these plans fell through. Jones encouraged her audience to "do the math" about the situation and stated colorism is a problem in the industry. Audio bytes from Jones' video began circulating in video clips on social networking site TikTok, with some clips reaching millions of views.
As of 2022, Jones stars as Hilary Banks in Bel-Air, Peacock's dramatic reimagining of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Jones would also announce that she had signed a deal with High Standardz/Def Jam, releasing her major label debut single "Caliber" on March 25.
Me and You
Coco Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did you really mean the words that you said said?
This is it I gotta know
Should I stay or should I go?
Show me the truth
Is it gonna be me and you?
Is it gonna be me and you?
Is it gonna be me and you?
I know you gon' be mad
Feelings that you thought you had
Was for another guy
Well I'm that other guy
I'm just a shy kid, camouflaged before your eyes
Then I knew my lyrics were the key to see the other side
I should have told you but I never had the courage
And I thought you really wouldn't understand (No)
And now I'm out here just to let my feelings surface
Apologizing for disguising who I am
Tell me are you who I thought you were
Or who I wanted you to be?
Did you do it all for him
Or were you only playing me?
I did it for you
But I couldn't see it through
You're spinning round and round and round in my head head
Did you really mean the words that you said said?
This is it I gotta know
Should I stay or should I go?
Show me the truth
Is it gonna be me and you?
Is it gonna be me and you?
Is it gonna be me and you?
You're all I ever wanted
But I got caught in the shadow in the background
But I'm back now
And Kris was all this and that
And my look didn't really fit the rap, it didn't match
He had the style and I had the swag
So I locked up my feelings in the words he said
Give me a hand and I'll take off my mask
If you give me a chance, that's all I ask
What ya expecting me to do?
'Cause you were him and now you're you
Now it's just me
And you got me on my knees
You're spinning round and round and round in my head head
Did you really mean the words that you said said?
This is it I gotta know
Should I stay or should I go?
Show me the truth
Is it gonna be me and you?
Is it gonna be me and you?
Why do I feel so deceived?
Guess I believed what I wanted to believe
It's perfect in my dreams
But nothing's really what it seems (No no)
You're spinning round and round and round in my head head
Did you really mean the words that you said said?
This is it I gotta know
Should I stay or should I go?
Show me the truth
Is it gonna be me and you?
Is it gonna be me and you?
Is it gonna be me and you?
Gonna be me and you?
The song "Me And You" by Coco Jones is a ballad about a person who is unsure about their relationship with someone else. The lyrics are full of confusion, doubt, and anxiety about the future of the relationship. The singer of the song is struggling to find out if the person they are with truly means the words they have said. The chorus repeats the question, "Is it gonna be me and you?" as a plea for clarity and certainty.
The first verse suggests that the singer has been deceived by the person they are with. The person they thought they knew may not be the person they really are. They question whether the feelings the other person had for them were genuine or if they were just playing with their emotions. The singer then reveals that they too have been deceptive about their true feelings, hiding them behind lyrics and shyness. The song suggests that honesty is necessary for a relationship to succeed.
In the second verse, the singer expresses their desire for a chance to show who they really are. They plead for a chance to be accepted for who they are rather than hiding behind a facade. The chorus continues to repeat the question of whether or not the two of them will be together, emphasizing the importance of honesty and authenticity in relationships.
Overall, "Me And You" is a song about the struggles of being honest in a relationship, the confusion that can come from miscommunication, and the desire for clarity and certainty.

You're spinning round and round and round in my head head
I can't help but think about you constantly
Did you really mean the words that you said said?
I'm questioning if your words were sincere
This is it I gotta know
I need to know the truth
Should I stay or should I go?
I'm unsure if I should continue pursuing our relationship
Show me the truth
Reveal your true intentions
Is it gonna be me and you?
Do you see a future for us together?
I know you gon' be mad
I anticipate that you'll be upset
Feelings that you thought you had
The emotions you had were based on a false impression
Was for another guy
You had those feelings for someone else
Well I'm that other guy
I was the guy you had feelings for but couldn't recognize it
I'm just a shy kid, camouflaged before your eyes
I was too timid to express my true self to you
Then I knew my lyrics were the key to see the other side
I realized that my music could help you understand me better
I should have told you but I never had the courage
I regret not being honest with you
And I thought you really wouldn't understand (No)
I believed that you wouldn't be able to comprehend my true self
And now I'm out here just to let my feelings surface
I'm revealing my true emotions now
Apologizing for disguising who I am
I'm saying sorry for hiding my true identity
Tell me are you who I thought you were
I'm questioning if you're the person I believed you to be
Or who I wanted you to be?
Or if you're the person I wished you could be
Did you do it all for him
I'm wondering if you acted a certain way for someone else
Or were you only playing me?
Or if you were just leading me on
I did it for you
I did everything for you
But I couldn't see it through
But I wasn't able to follow through
You're all I ever wanted
I've always wanted you
But I got caught in the shadow in the background
But I allowed myself to be overshadowed
But I'm back now
But I'm here now
And Kris was all this and that
Kris was great in various ways
And my look didn't really fit the rap, it didn't match
But my appearance didn't align with the music genre
He had the style and I had the swag
Kris had a certain appearance and I had confidence
So I locked up my feelings in the words he said
So I buried my emotions in Kris's lyrics
Give me a hand and I'll take off my mask
Help me open up and reveal my true self
If you give me a chance, that's all I ask
All I'm asking for is an opportunity to be myself
What ya expecting me to do?
What do you want me to do?
'Cause you were him and now you're you
You liked someone else before and now you're with me
Now it's just me
Now it's just the two of us
And you got me on my knees
You have me begging for answers
Why do I feel so deceived?
Why do I feel like you've been dishonest?
Guess I believed what I wanted to believe
I think I was too optimistic about our relationship
It's perfect in my dreams
I had envisioned our relationship to be perfect
But nothing's really what it seems (No no)
But reality is often not what we expect
Gonna be me and you?
Will it be just the two of us in the future?
