PROUD
JLS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my darkest place you were my guide
And you told me that I should live my life to the limit
When you fall down get back up and fight
Well the shape of my heart don't lie
I'm determined when you trust in me
It's all I need
You believe that all that I do is to make you proud
Make me stronger, so that I rise up
Made my mind up
So that all that I do is to make you proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
All that I do is to make you proud
I never gave up then cause you said keep hope alive
The champion gives one last try
Said I deserve the best in life
I should be winning
Gotta spread your wings and prepare to fly
Well the shape of my heart don't lie
I'm determined with your faith in me
To make you see
Now I'm hoping, if you hear this
You believe that all that I do is to make you proud
Make me stronger, so that I rise up
Made my mind up
All that I do is to make you proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
All that I do is to make you proud
Nobody can tell me they were there for me
Before you came around
There was pain in every heart beat
But eventually you built my reserve to be strong
Now I'm hoping, if you hear this
You believe that all that I do is to make you proud
Now I'm hoping, if you hear this
You believe that all that I do is to make you proud
Make me stronger, so that I rise up
Made my mind up
All that I do is to make you proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
All that I do is to make you proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
All that I do is to make you proud
"Proud" by JLS is a song about determination, perseverance, and the power of a guiding force in one's life. The beginning of the song talks about how the singer had hit rock bottom and lost all hope in life, but someone (presumably a loved one or mentor) was there to guide them out of that dark place. This guiding force encouraged the singer to live life to the fullest and to never give up, even when things get tough.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of making someone proud. The singer expresses that all they want to do is make this person proud and that they are determined to do so no matter what. The refrain "All that I do is to make you proud" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the importance of this driving force in the singer's life.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more confident in their abilities and their determination to succeed, thanks to the support of this guiding force. They realize that they deserve the best in life and that they should strive to be the best they can be. The song ends with the singer declaring that they will make this person proud through everything they do.

this song personally is too beautiful for people to be arguing over stupid stuff "All that i do is to make you Proud" pretty sure everybody in this world can relate to this whether it is making urself, ur parents, ur extended family, partner etc the lyrics are inspirational something a lot of music has lost recently, its music from the soul!!!
