Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I don't know, I don't know if I can
We were good 24 hours ago
I just don't, I just don't understand
I could cry to you, fight with you
Beg you to stay but
I can't make you love me if you don't
But I've held you so, so tight
It's gonna take a lot of love to let you
Lot of love to let you
Go, oh-oh-oh
Go, oh-oh-oh
Lot of love to let you
Go, oh-oh-oh
It's gonna take a lot of love to let you
Lot of love to let you
Warning sirens, I was blind I thought
We were straight, we were strong, we would last (Oh)
But I seen that map up on your bedroom wall
Who am I? Who am I to hold you back?
I could cry to you, fight with you
Beg you to stay but
I won't try to change your mind (Oh no)
I can't make you love me if you don't (I can't make you love me if you don't, ooh)
But I've held you so, so tight (So tight)
It's gonna take a lot of love to let you (It's gonna take a lot of love to let you)
Lot of love to let you
Go, oh-oh-oh
Go, oh-oh-oh
Lot of love to let you
Go, oh-oh-oh (Oh, oh)
It's gonna take a lot of love to let you
Lot of love to let you
I won't try to change your mind
I can't make you love me if you don't
But if I can hold you tight
It's gonna take a lot of love to let you
Lot of love to let you
Go, oh-oh-oh (Oh, oh)
Go, oh-oh-oh (Oh, oh)
Lot of love to let you
Go, oh-oh-oh (Oh, oh)
It's gonna take a lot of love to let you
Lot of love to let you
In "Lotta Love", Jack & Jack sing about the struggle of letting go of someone they love. The song starts with the common saying, "If you love them let them go", but the singer admits that he doesn't know if he can actually let go. He seems confused about what happened since they were good just 24 hours ago and can't understand why the person wants to leave. He acknowledges that he could try to fight for the relationship and make the other person stay, but ultimately he knows that he can't force them to love him if they don't. The chorus repeats the phrase "It's gonna take a lot of love to let you go", emphasizing that it won't be an easy process to move on.
Later in the song, the singer realizes that he was blind and thought they had a strong relationship that would last, but now he sees that he was mistaken. He mentions seeing a map on the other person's bedroom wall, and he feels like he doesn't have the right to hold them back from whatever journey they want to take. While he still wants to hold onto the relationship, he knows that he can't control the other person's feelings and ultimately accepts that they may have to part ways.
Overall, "Lotta Love" is a poignant and relatable song about the pain and difficulty of letting go of someone you love.
