Although Gryffin has recently been on the cusp of a major breakthrough, he began his musical journey growing up as a classically trained pianist, before expanding his sonic palette with guitar at an early age. He played in bands to initially hone his instrumental abilities, until he dove head first into the world of music production at the University of Southern California. Throughout college and beyond, Gryffin further refined his skills that have blossomed into his artistic mastery that is appreciated by his counterparts and adoring fans around the world. In his genre, artists typically DJ to showcase their talents, but live performance is where his heart lies in capturing the essence of his work.
With a world-debut at this past SnowGlobe Music Festival, Gryffin unveiled his anticipated live performance to finally connect with those who have been behind his impressive play counts. His passion and love for musicianship, and artistry within music shined through as he performed with live instrumentation (guitar, keyboard, synths, & drum pads) in a continuous dance music format to keep up the energy characteristic of DJ sets. Since this performance was a resounding success, the excitement is brewing for his next two sold-out shows at Los Angeles’ The Roxy, and New York’s Bowery Ballroom to close out his first-ever live tour.
Following the conclusion of the tour, Gryffin made the leap to his first original production, “Heading Home” featuring Josef Salvat, which immediately became #1 on Spotify’s Global Viral 50 chart, US Viral Chart, and accumulated a million plays in one week after being released via Darkroom/Interscope Records. It’s already looking like 2016 is going to be Gryffin’s biggest year yet.
Caught Up
Gryffin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I'm caught up in every little thing you do
Am I dreaming? Yeah, I wonder
'Cause I'm caught up (caught up)
I've been missing you all night long
I don't even know why
Listening to my favorite song
See your face everywhere I go
And I don't even try, no
I don't even try
Don't even try
It goes on and on and on and on
Is it so wrong?
I hate the sound of moving on
Look what you do
Look what you do to me
Yeah, I got you on repeat, so
I've been thinking that I want you
'Cause I'm caught up in every little thing you do
Am I dreaming? Yeah, I wonder
'Cause I'm caught up in every little thing you do
Every little thing, every, every little thing (woo)
Every little thing, every, every little thing you do
Every little thing, every, every little thing you do
(You do, you do)
(Oh)
You got more than a piece of me
You could have the whole thing
Think I'm stuck in my favorite dream
Wake me up in fifteen
I'm obsessing and it's no good
But I don't even mind, no
I don't even mind (I don't mind)
It goes on and on and on and on
Is it so wrong?
I hate the sound of moving on
Look what you do
Look what you do to me
Yeah, I got you on repeat, so
I've been thinking that I want you
'Cause I'm caught up in every little thing you do
Am I dreaming? Yeah, I wonder?
'Cause I'm caught up in every little thing you do
Every little thing you do
Every little thing, every, every little thing (woo)
Every little thing, every, every little thing you do (whoa)
Every little thing, every, every little thing you do (you do, thing you do)
(You do, you do)
(Oh)
(Thing you do)
In every little thing you do (thing you do, thing you do)
In every little thing you do
The lyrics to Gryffin's song "Caught Up" express a sense of being infatuated and unable to stop thinking about someone. The singer is captivated by every little action and detail of this person, and wonders if they are even dreaming because their thoughts are consumed by this individual.
The opening lines convey the singer's desire for this person, acknowledging that they are caught up in everything they do.

The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing the inescapable nature of the singer's infatuation. The concluding lines repeat the phrase "every little thing you do," reinforcing the fixation on this person's actions and the impact they have on the singer.

I'm fixating compulsively, and it's not beneficial
But I don't even mind, no
However, I am not bothered or concerned by it, no
I don't even mind (I don't mind)
I am unaffected or untroubled by it (I don't mind)
In every little thing you do (thing you do, thing you do)
In every small action you take (action you take, action you take)
In every little thing you do
In every minute detail of your actions
