Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you said love is dying
But you're always fantasizing
About the past
Where everyone was trying
To make it last (Ohhhh)
Girl, I know
This ain't a movie
It ain't your beauty
That brings me satisfaction
You want that throwback, throwback
Type of thing
Baby you know that's
What I bring
Check it
Imma take you way back
Ah Ah Yeah Yeah
And we gon' make this love last
Ah Ah Yeah Yeah
Imma take you way back
Ah Ah Yeah Yeah
And we gon' make this love last (love last)
Throwback, throwback
You know that, know that
Throwback, throwback
You know that, know that
Baby don't let the others
Make you feel that you
Gotta compete with them
To be with me, that's true
You know you make
The outer beauty no matter
Cause to you there's more
Than just glitter and glamour
Girl, I know
This ain't a movie
But you make me take action
It ain't your beauty
That brings me satisfaction
You want that throwback, throwback
Type of thing
Baby you know that's

In Dawin's song "Throwback," the singer is faced with a partner who constantly dwells on the past, believing that love is dying and reminiscing about a time when everyone worked hard to make their relationships last. Despite acknowledging that life is not a movie and that the singer doesn't find their partner appealing solely for their beauty, the singer is determined to make his partner happy and bring back the old-school romance and stability they long for.
The song embodies the theme of nostalgia and the need for a love that is rooted not only in physical attraction but also in emotional intimacy and stability. The singer's desire to create a love that is reminiscent of the past- the strong, unbreakable kind- feels naive but also hopeful.
Overall, "Throwback" is a testament to the importance of feeling a deep connection with someone beyond superficial attraction. It reminds us that relationships require effort, but more importantly, they require emotional depth and commitment.
