Free Me
Emma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Free me, let me loose, to love you
Yeah, how I long to seduce you, oh
Free me, let me loose, to love you
Yeah, how I long to seduce you now

Being with you
Longing for something to happen
Biting my tongue
Hoping to get a reaction

Atmosphere's tense
Heavy with an anticipation
Don't leave me here
With only my imagination

Free me

Free me, let me loose, to love you
Yeah, how I long to seduce you, oh
Free me, let me loose, to love you
Yeah, how I long to seduce you now

Free me, let me loose, to love you
Yeah, how I long to seduce you, oh
Free me, let me loose, to love you
Yeah, how I long to seduce you now

How long can I continue
To suffer in silence
My achin' heart can't bear
To wait in such suspense

So maybe it's time
To tell you just how I am feeling
This full on desire
I have too long been concealing

Free me

Free me, let me loose, to love you
Yeah, how I long to seduce you, oh
Free me, let me loose, to love you
Yeah, how I long to seduce you now

Free me, let me loose, to love you
Yeah, how I long to seduce you, oh
Free me, let me loose, to love you
Yeah, how I long to seduce you now

Free me




Free me
Free me

Overall Meaning

The song Free Me by Emma Bunton is a plea to a lover to take action and reciprocate the singer's feelings.

The second verse reveals the singer's internal struggle to keep her feelings hidden and her heartache at waiting for an answer. The chorus is a plea for the other person to set the singer free from her emotional turmoil and allow her to love freely without fear of rejection.


The lyrics are powerful in their portrayal of the vulnerability and courage needed to express one's emotions to another person. The song touches on the universal human experience of wanting to be loved and accepted and the fear of rejection that often accompanies these desires. The chorus is catchy and memorable, with the repetition of "Free Me" driving home the message of the song.
