Overall Meaning

In Fehdah's song "Fall In Love," the lyrics explore a sense of skepticism and resistance towards falling in love. The opening lines suggest a desire for connection and companionship, but the singer quickly dismisses it, emphasizing that they are not willing to fall in love. The repetition of the phrase "I ain't gonna fall in love" reinforces this decision and sets the tone for the rest of the song.

The lyrics convey a sense of caution and wariness towards the promises and declarations made by others. The lines "Promising me dunya dunya" highlight the idea of being enticed by the allure of worldly possessions or temporary things, but ultimately rejecting them as a basis for love. The singer seems to have encountered someone who talks them up and makes them feel a certain way, but they are unsure if they can believe the things said.

There is also a hint of frustration and disappointment towards a person who continues to pursue the singer even after being told multiple times that they are not interested. The line "told him once and twice, biyo biyo" suggests that the singer has made their stance clear, yet the person persists with the same approach.

Wind me up
Get me excited and eager

Filling my cup that takes me back down
Giving me temporary happiness that ultimately leads to disappointment

Boy you wanna know what's up
You're curious about my thoughts and feelings

Everything soft and easy
Our relationship feels comfortable and effortless

I full up
I'm satisfied or content

You say you wanna marry me oh
You express a desire to commit to a long-term relationship

But uda married don help wallah
But you're already married, don't you see?

Told him once and twice
I've warned him multiple times

Biyo biyo
Repeating the same old story

Na de same dead line
It's the same empty promise

He dey use on me ah
He keeps using it on me
