In an interview with Billboard, Daniel explains:
"I met a girl and got very involved. She brought things and feelings out of me that I didn’t know I had. ‘Get You' is a song of praise to a love I didn’t even feel I deserved at the time, being with someone you truly adore and being present enough in the moment that the world literally slows down and you ask yourself, how did I stumble into this? I’m always shooting myself in the foot, but I’m in here."
“I don’t think it was a specific moment. It might have been having sex or something, but it was kind of just a period of time. I was sitting and thinking about my life at the time, and it just came out.”
"I was really broke, living with my girl at the time. It was a broke-and-in-love sort of thing. She’s like my muse, I guess. It was alive, good conversation, and good loving. We hung out every day. That’s what it was. We were just inseparable. I wrote a song about it."
“Get You” was certified 4x platinum by the RIAA on January 20, 2022.
Get You
Daniel Caesar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My baby has been around for me
Kingdoms have fallen, angels be calling
None of that could ever make me leave, yeah
Every time I look into your eyes, I see it
You're all I need
Every time I get a bit inside, I feel it
Ooh, who would've thought I'd get you?
Ooh, who would've thought I'd get you?
And when we're makin' love, uh
Your cries, they can be heard from far and wide
It's only the two of us
Everything I need's between those thighs
Every time I look into your eyes, I see it
You're all I need
Every time I get a bit inside, I feel it
Ooh, who would've thought I'd get you?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, babe
Ooh, who would've thought I'd get you?
And I'll take some time
Just to be thankful
That I had days full of you, you
Before it winds down into the memories
It's all just memories now
(If you've got someone you like)
Don't you love when I come around (feel something that's right)
(Somebody, just tell somebody)
(If you've got someone you like)
Don't you love when I come around (feel something that's right)
(Somebody, just tell somebody)
Build you up then I take-
Ooh, who would've thought I'd get you?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, babe
Ooh, who would've thought I'd get you?
This feels like summer
Boy, you make me feel so alive
Just be my lover
Boy, you'll lead me to paradise
The lyrics of Daniel Caesar's song Get You is a love song that expresses undying love for someone who has always been there during difficult times in life. Through drought, famine, and natural disasters, the singer's love interest still stays by his side. Kingdoms may fall and angels call, but nothing would ever make him leave. Looking into the person's eyes, the singer sees everything that he needs, and every time he gets a bit inside, he feels the completeness of his love for the person. The singer never imagined that he would end up with this person, and the chorus emphasizes his amazement in getting this love.
The song progresses to describe the intimacy between the singer and his love interest. They share a deep connection when they make love, and the intensity is felt far and wide. There are no distractions, and everything that he needs is served between those thighs. As the chorus repeats, the singer is still in disbelief that he has this person's love.
The singer then emphasizes his thankfulness for having this love in his life. He takes a moment to appreciate that he has had a chance to spend time with his love interest and treasure the memories they have created together. He wants to make the most of it before it all becomes memories, and he is grateful for the time they have spent together.
In the final verse, the singer speaks to his love interest, telling them how they make him feel. They feel youthful, and the love they share makes them come alive. He asks that they be his lover and lead him to paradise, as they have made his life complete.

@@iistxrieii9172 yes I clearly understand the lyrics very well. But I also clearly know that u don’t know proper grammar. “Your” is plural, so it’s you’re cause you’re means you are. So I dont know how u gettin in ur feels without knowing something so simple.

@@erickcarr3543 tbh I really don’t care how I spelled it, some people can’t relate.. also why does that bother you so much. Anyone can get in their feelings knowing something or not…
