The song matches an acoustic guitar with the kind of tropical house-inspired vibe that took over pop in 2015 and ’16. In fact, the track was co-produced by Kygo, the Norwegian DJ who helped make a tropical house an international sensation. He’s joined by fellow Norwegians Stargate, the production and songwriting team known for their close collaboration with Rihanna.
“To me, the song is an extended metaphor where you’re asking somebody to “write” on you, envelop you with their words, make their mark on you like you’re a blank canvas.“
- Camila via Teen Vogue
Write on Me
Fifth Harmony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Write on my skin, bring me to life
Can't start again, there ain't no eraser
All of my flaws, you got them so right
Everything is blank until you draw me
Touching on my body like you know me
Color outside the lines
Love the way you tat' me up
Baby take your time
Write on me
Give me some wings, I'll fly
Love the way you tat' me up
I'll never change my mind
Write on me, write on me
Write on me, write on me
(Write on me)
Write on me (write on me)
Write on me
Love the way you tat' me up
Write on me
You are my friend, straight and no chaser
Burns going down but it keeps me alive
Tell me the truth, I like the danger
'Cause in the end you will be mine
Everything is gray until you draw me
Touching on my body like you know me
Write on me
Color outside the lines
Love the way you tat' me up
Baby take your time
Write on me
Give me some wings, I'll fly
Love the way you tat' me up
I'll never change my mind
Write on me, write on me
Write on me, write on me
I could see a city sleep
I could see an ocean wave
Everything is changing and it's written on my face
I could see a city sleep
I could see an ocean wave
Everything is changing and it's written on my face
Write on me
Color outside the lines
Love the way you tat' me up
Baby take your time
Write on me
Give me some wings, I'll fly
Love the way you tat' me up
I'll never change my mind
(Write on me) (Write on me)
Write on me, (Write on me)
Write on me, (Write on me)
Write on me (write on me)
Write on me, (write on me)
(Won't you write on me yeah)
(Write on me)
Love the way you tat' me up
Write on me
Write on me

Write on me
The lyrics to Fifth Harmony's song "Write On Me" can be interpreted in a few different ways, but one possible interpretation is that they are about a physical and emotional relationship between two people, where one person has the power to bring the other to life and define them in a way that they can't do themselves. The metaphor of "writing" on the other person's skin suggests a level of intimacy and trust, as well as an understanding that these markings will be permanent and cannot be erased. The references to "coloring outside the lines" and "giving me some wings" also suggest a desire for freedom and exploration within the context of the relationship.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "write on me" several times, emphasizing the importance of the other person's influence and their ability to shape the singer's identity. The second verse seems to further solidify this power dynamic, with the singer saying that they appreciate the other person's unfiltered and sometimes painful honesty because it ultimately leads to a deeper connection between them.
Overall, "Write On Me" is a song about surrendering oneself to someone else's influence and trusting them to bring out the best in us. It's about embracing our flaws and allowing someone else to define us, while also maintaining a sense of individuality and desire for growth.

Escreva em minha pele, traga-me à vida
Can't start again, there ain't no eraser
Você não pode começar de novo, não tem borracha

Todas as minhas falhas, você as entende muito bem
Everything is blank until you draw me
Tudo está vazio até que você me desenhe
Touching on my body like you know me
Tocando em meu corpo como se me conhecesse
