Overall Meaning

The song "Where Have You Been" by Drake and Rihanna is about the search for a love that seems elusive. The singer of the song is expressing their frustration and longing for someone who can fulfill their desires and love them deeply. They have been everywhere, searching for this person who can please them and love them all night long.


The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and longing, as the singer wonders where this person has been all their life. They question why they never see this person out and wonder if they are hiding from them, somewhere in the crowd. It implies that there is a disconnect between the singer and the person they are searching for, and they are desperate to find them.


Throughout the song, the repetition of the phrase "Where have you been all my life?" emphasizes the singer's deep desire for this love and their frustration at not having found it yet. The lyrics capture the universal feeling of searching for a love that seems to elude us, and the longing to finally find that person who can fulfill our deepest desires.
