Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got this pain, but I just can't go through with it
I can't let go, so you just take the best of me
I can't let go, 'cause I don't know who else to be
Who am I if I ain't loving you?
Tell me
Who am I if I ain't loving you?
Who am I if you're not loving me?
Tell me
'Cause you and me, that's my identity
I feel so cold
'Cause I know that you be lovin' somebody new, babe
Well that's the word around town
I feel so cold
And I don't even know what I'm supposed to do now
Thought you were holding me down (you don't care)
'Cause I see the look in your eyes, baby
Actions speakin' louder than words lately (you don't care)
Something's telling me that I should still be fighting for you
Who am I if I ain't loving you?
Tell me
Who am I if I ain't loving you?
Baby
Who am I if you're not loving me?
Tell me
'Cause you and me, that's my identity
Take me back
To the day your heart belongs to me
Take me back
Only your touch, boy, can set me free
There's no test
He can't love you like I do
There's no test
'Cause all of me, I gave to you, you
Who am I if I ain't loving you?
Tell me
Who am I if I ain't loving you?
Baby
Who am I if you're not loving me?
Tell me
'Cause you and me, that's my identity
I don't know who I am if I ain't in your arms, baby
(La, la, la) I don't know, I don't know
(La, la, la) I don't know who I am if I ain't in your arms, baby
(La, la, la) I don't know, I don't know
Who am I if I ain't loving you?
Tell me
Who am I if I ain't loving you?
Baby
Who am I if you're not loving me
Tell me
'Cause you and me, that's my identity
That's my identity
The lyrics of "Who Am I" by Craig David, Katy B, and Major Lazer are about the confusion and struggle one faces when they have lost their sense of identity after a break-up. The singer expresses that they have this constant pain within them that they cannot seem to let go of. They are unable to move past their previous relationship and are unsure of who they are supposed to be without their ex-lover. The chorus reveals the singer's attachment to their ex, as they question who they are without loving their partner or being loved back.
The second verse of the song expresses the singer's realization that their ex has moved on and found someone else, leading them to feel cold and lost. The lyrics express their confusion as they do not know what they are supposed to do and question if their ex-lover has ever truly cared for them. The singer yearns to go back to the time when they were with their ex, emphasizing that only their touch can set them free. The song ends with the singer embracing the fact that their identity is formed by their love for their ex-partner, regardless of whether it is reciprocated or not.
