Love of My Life
Dawood / Knight feat. Jodie Connor Lyrics

The lyrics to Dawood/Knight feat. Jodie Connor's 'Love of my life' speaks about a feeling of being loved and needed. The opening verse describes the joy of having someone who needs them, and someone they have needed for so long. This person has given them the confidence to pursue life fearlessly and courageously, knowing that they have their support. The second verse is about the fulfillment of their dreams, about being able to touch what their heart had always yearned for. They speak about how this was possible because they found someone 'warm' like the person they're now with, who has made their dreams come true.

The chorus speaks about a shift in their perspective - they've been hurt before, but they won't let it bring them down anymore. They've found someone who won't abandon them and have become assured that they're not alone anymore. They assert that they own this love and won't let anyone take it away from them. The final line of the chorus repeats the sentiment of the first verse -- they have found someone who needs them. The closing line of this song speaks of hope and optimism that they both can make it together, as long as they have each other's love.

One interesting thing about this song is that it was written by Michael Jackson when he was just 12 years old. He gave it to the Motown songwriting team, Holland-Dozier-Holland, who then recorded it with their band. Over the years, several musicians like Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, and Tony Bennett have covered the song, which has become an all-time classic. Dawood/Knight feat. Jodie Connor's version, which was released in 2011, became popular in the UK and managed to reach number 10 in the charts.

Another interesting fact is that Jodie Connor, the featured artist on this track, is a British singer who first gained recognition in 2010 for her hit single 'Bring it.' She's of Jamaican descent, and though she was signed to a major label at the time 'Love of my life' was released, she has since been releasing music independently. The producers of this cover version, Dawood and Knight, are a DJ and producer duo from the UK. They were inspired by the original song and wanted to create a modern take on it for contemporary audiences.
