Producer/songwriter Christian Berishaj was born in the greater Detroit area and quickly developed a fascination with music and performance. He started recording his own music at age 12 and by the time he was 18 he'd gone through various different bands and projects, including recording an album as Love Arcade on which he wrote and performed every sound. Love Arcade was eventually signed to Atlantic records, with a self-titled album on which Berishaj was the sole performer coming out in 2006. A touring band was assembled around the project but none of the members ever played on any recordings and the group broke up after three years. Following Love Arcade, Berishaj relocated to Los Angeles and worked briefly under the moniker Christian TV, licensing songs in various films and television and signing a deal with Universal Motown Records. The label folded and Berishaj again reconfigured, taking on the name JMSN and producing more R&B inspired music, taking a decided step away from the pop leanings of previous projects. He self-released his debut Priscilla in early 2012, earning high praise from press and his artistic contemporaries as well. He followed with the next year with the Pllaje EP and a lengthy tour. JMSN spent much of 2014 prepping his next full-length, The Blue Album. The Blue Album's release date was delayed but eventually saw release in late 2014. ~ Fred Thomas
Where Do U Go
JMSN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said every time you go
I wonder if you're comin' back to see me
I wonder where you go (yeah)
Maybe it's my mind that deceives me
Thinking you out havin' fun
With someone else
Maybe my insecurities feed me
Woah (woah) I said where do you go (where do you go)
Woah (woah) I said where do you go (where do you go)
'Cause there's only so much I can
Do to not think of you (woah)
I said where do you go (where do you go)
Woah, every time I'm with you baby
I don't even look at the clock
But then my mind does a full 180
When you hit that door and start to walk away
Maybe it's the way God made me
Maybe it's just a mental block
All I know is I'm gon' be waiting
But the deadbolt don't lock, oh oh
Woah (woah) I said where do you go (where do you go)
Woah (woah) I said where do you go (where do you go)
'Cause there's only so much I can do
To keep me from thinking of you (woah)
I said where do you go (where do you go)
Woah, where do you go woah, where do you go
Wonder if you miss me
'cause I can never tell
Play the game so well
So I guess I'll take the L
Wonder what you're thinking
I'm trying not to dwell
Got me under your spell
Keep wondering where do you go
Woah (woah) I said where do you go (where do you go)
Woah (woah) where do you go (where do you go)
'Cause there's only so much I can
Do to not think of you (woah)
I said where do you go (where do you go)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
The lyrics to JMSN's song "Where Do U Go" depict the singer's anxieties and insecurities about their partner leaving them and not knowing where they go. The singer wonders if their partner is out having fun with someone else, and these insecurities consume them. They question their own state of mind, wondering if their own insecurities are deceiving them and if they need help to overcome these thoughts.
The chorus emphasizes the desperation of the singer in wanting to know where their partner goes when they leave. It expresses the frustration of not being able to stop thinking about them and constantly wondering about their whereabouts. The lyrics suggest that the singer's attachment to their partner is so strong that they can't help but be consumed by thoughts of them.
In the second verse, the singer admits that when they are together with their partner, time seems to fly by and they don't pay attention to it. However, as soon as their partner leaves, their mind does a complete 180-degree turn. This suggests that their anxieties and doubts flood their thoughts as soon as their partner walks away. The singer questions if this is part of their nature or if it's a mental block they need to overcome. They express their willingness to wait for their partner, but acknowledge that even if they lock the doors (symbolized by the deadbolt), it won't change the fact that their thoughts still wander to their partner.
The bridge delves into the singer's internal struggle. They wonder if their partner misses them, but they find it hard to tell. They acknowledge their partner's ability to play emotional games and keep them guessing. Despite this, they continue to be under their partner's spell and constantly question where they go.
Overall, the lyrics in "Where Do U Go" convey a sense of insecurity, longing, and a constant need for reassurance in a relationship.

Every time you leave me baby
Whenever you go away from me, my heart aches
I said every time you go
I mean it, every time you leave
I wonder if you're comin' back to see me
I ponder if you'll return to be by my side again
I wonder where you go (yeah)
I'm curious about the destination you choose when you're away
Maybe it's my mind that deceives me
Perhaps it's my own thoughts playing tricks on me
Thinking you out havin' fun
Imagining you enjoying yourself with someone else
With someone else
Being with another person
Maybe my insecurities feed me
Possibly my own uncertainties fuel these thoughts
Maybe I just need some help
Maybe I require assistance in dealing with these emotions
Woah (woah) I said where do you go (where do you go)
I am expressing my emotional confusion and asking where you disappear to
Woah (woah) I said where do you go (where do you go)
I am reiterating my plea, wondering about your whereabouts
'Cause there's only so much I can do to not think of you (woah)
I'm struggling to distract myself from thoughts of you, there are limits to my efforts
I said where do you go (where do you go)
Again, I'm asking where you vanish to
Woah, every time I'm with you baby
Every moment spent with you, my whole focus is on you
I don't even look at the clock
Time passes unnoticed, as I'm engrossed in your presence
But then my mind does a full 180
Suddenly, my thoughts completely change direction
When you hit that door and start to walk away
When you leave through the door, my emotions shift dramatically
Maybe it's the way God made me
Perhaps my nature, created by a higher power, is the cause
Maybe it's just a mental block
Or maybe it's simply a psychological barrier within me
All I know is I'm gon' be waiting
Regardless, I will patiently wait for your return
But the deadbolt don't lock, oh oh
However, even though I long for your presence, I can't keep you from leaving
Wonder if you miss me
I ponder whether you think about me when we're apart
'cause I can never tell
Because I can never accurately determine your feelings
Play the game so well
You excel at concealing your emotions
So I guess I'll take the L
Therefore, I suppose I'll accept the loss or disappointment
Wonder what you're thinking
I wonder what thoughts occupy your mind
I'm trying not to dwell
I'm attempting not to obsess over it
Got me under your spell
You have a captivating influence over me
Keep wondering where do you go
I continuously ponder about your whereabouts
Woah (woah) I said where do you go (where do you go)
Again, I'm expressing my confusion and asking where you disappear to
Woah (woah) where do you go (where do you go)
I repeat my question, longing to know where you vanish to
'Cause there's only so much I can do to not think of you (woah)
I admit that I struggle to distract myself from thoughts of you, there are limits to my efforts
I said where do you go (where do you go)
Once again, I'm asking where you go when you leave
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Repeating sounds expressing my frustration, confusion, and desire to understand
