The singer and songwriter left home at 17 to pursue his calling as a musical artist. Caesar independently released his first two EPs, Praise Break (2014) and Pilgrim’s Paradise (2017), to widespread praise—the first of which landed at #19 on Rolling Stone’s list of “20 Best R&B Albums of 2014.” However, it was his 2017 debut album, Freudian, that marked him as one of this generation’s most exciting artists to watch—the album went on to be nominated for two GRAMMY Awards (“Best R&B Album” and “Best R&B Performance” for “Get You”), and the following year, Caesar took home the award for “Best R&B Performance” for his breakout hit, “Best Part.” The GRAMMY Award-winning and Juno Award-winning artist soon followed this early success with his critically acclaimed sophomore album, Case Study 01 (2019), and most recently his multi-platinum, worldwide hit, “Peaches” with Justin Bieber and Giveon (2021). Amassing over 5 billion streams across his catalogue and over 31 million monthly listeners, Caesar currently ranked the 79th “Most Listened To Artist in the World” and top 10 “Most Streamed Canadian Artists of All Time” on Spotify. Now, Daniel Caesar gears up for his next chapter, as he continues to redefine what R&B can be, while quietly overtaking the mainstream.

Through drought and famine, natural disasters
My baby has been around for me
Kingdoms have fallen, angels be calling
None of that could ever make me leave
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
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)
Build you up then I take you down
(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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Get You" by Daniel Caesar featuring Kali Uchis are rich with the emotions of love and admiration towards a beloved partner. The opening lines of the song convey the message that the love between the singer and her partner has endured through difficult times like natural calamities, making them inseparable. Even though kingdoms may have fallen and angels calling, the bond of love shared between the two is strong enough to stand the test of time.


The lyrics of the chorus are an expression of the surprise that the singer has found someone like her partner. The feeling of joy and amazement that she expresses is due to the fact that the bond she has created with her partner is something beyond her expectations. She admires her partner for being there for her during the toughest of times and the two feel a deep connection with one another.


The next set of lyrics highlights the passion that the two shares, which can be heard from afar while making love. The lyrics also suggest that only the two of them matter when they are together, as they have everything they need between them. The chorus is repeated again to indicate the depth of the bond shared between them and how amazed the singer is to have found a love so beautiful.


The final verse expresses the gratitude and appreciation the singer feels toward her partner for the days full of love and happiness. The singer recognizes that life is fleeting and their love might fade away at some point in time, but she cherishes every moment they spend together. The singer encourages her partner to tell someone if they feel something is alright, which is just an extension of the undying love and support that the two share.
