Despite the lack of mainstream success from this album, Gemma won a UMA and was nominated for a MOBO award in that year. It is considered that the album suffered from a lack of promotion whilst the record itself was good, featuring strong lyrics about relevant issues that people could relate to. An example of this is the lead single, 'Girlfriend's story', which was about a girl who couldn't leave her abusive boyfriend.
Love Me
Gemma Fox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woke up this morning wiped the sleet out from my eyes, opened the curtains and the birds were in the sky, oh what a
beautiful day, i give thanks and praise for everything that i am! Now that it's time to get ready and i dunno what to
wear, today i will leave off my make-up and i only brush my hair, riding a fantasy, i've just got to be, ready to be me!
[Chorus]
Because i love me, i'm proud to be me, coz i love me, it's all i could ever be, coz i love me, i'm just proud to be me yeh
So as i walk out the front door the children play their games, i wave at some passers by but cant remember their names,
man playing melodies, he lives on the street, as i look the other way! So as i jumped up the cues there seems to be
delays, woman is angry coz shes late for work and lost her place, car drivers are you in, people laughin, its just another
day!
[Chorus]
I am beautiful, dont need to be told, more than what you see, your insequality!
[Chorus x2]
The song "Love Me" by Gemma Fox is a beautiful expression of self-love and acceptance. The lyrics depict a typical morning routine, where the singer wakes up to a beautiful day, gives thanks for everything she is, and prepares to face the world. She decides to leave off her makeup and just brush her hair, as she wants to be true to herself and not conform to societal standards of beauty. The chorus proclaims her self-love and confidence, as she is proud to be herself and doesn't need anyone else's validation. As she walks out into the world, she observes the people around her, playfully interacting with children, waving at passersby, and even acknowledging the man playing music on the street. Even in the midst of delays and chaos, she remains calm and positive, enjoying the beauty of life.
The song's message of self-love and acceptance is powerful and relatable, as many people struggle with insecurities and self-doubt. The lyrics encourage listeners to embrace their true selves and not be ashamed of their flaws or perceived imperfections. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy chorus make it an uplifting anthem for anyone who needs a reminder to love themselves.
