CHORUS
The song Where Is The Love by Damian Marley feat. Eve highlights the lack of love and respect in modern relationships. The first verse discusses the prevalence of casual relationships, where people are treated as disposable and love is often based on money. Damian expresses his disappointment that some people are more concerned with their own pleasure than caring for the needs of others, including the children who may result from their actions. He also touches on the issue of rape, calling for harsh consequences for those who harm others.
The second verse, delivered by Eve, further explores the theme of disrespect in relationships, particularly towards women. She criticizes those who use and discard women and questions why some parents fail to prepare their children for healthy relationships. Despite these negative portrayals, the chorus keeps repeating the question "what happened to the love?" implying that love is still expected and desired, and expressing frustration that it seems to be missing from many relationships.
Overall, the song is a call for greater respect, care, and love within relationships, and a lament for the prevalence of selfishness and exploitation.
