Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Barcelona
Take me back to Barcelona
Where did you go? God only knows

Is it too late to find you, are you out there?
Know you're out there somewhere tonight
In that same dress, with that same look in your eyes
Is it too late to tell you how I felt about you?
On that one night when we undressed
And we jumped in, can I confess? (Shit)

I might've been in love with you
I might've been the one for you
Now you're the one that got away
I never even got your name, Miss

Barcelona
Take me back to Barcelona (Oh, oh)
Where did you go? God only knows
Oh, Miss Barcelona
Take me back to Barcelona (Oh, oh)
Where did you go? God only knows
Take me back to Barcelona

Girl, I hope you feel the same
So much more between us than this ocean and these waves
No FC, no Messi; we kicked it for the day
We met in Barcelona, had to go our separate ways
Baby, I know you still think about that night
Or maybe I'm naive, just holding on to you and me
Only got like two or three hours with you before I had to
Hit the road onto the next, I guess we'll never know

I might've been in love with you
I might've been the one for you
Now you're the one that got away
I never even got your name, Miss

Barcelona
Take me back to Barcelona (Oh, oh)
Where did you go? God only knows
Oh, Miss Barcelona
Take me back to Barcelona (Oh, oh)
Where did you go? God only knows
Take me back to Barcelona

(Oh, oh)
Where did you go? God only knows
Take me back to Barcelona, oh
Where did you go? God only knows

Barcelona

Overall Meaning

In "Barcelona", Jack and Jack reminisce about a romantic encounter they had in the Spanish city but were unable to keep the connection going. The song starts with Jack and Jack longing to go back to Barcelona, hoping that they can reconnect and find the girl who got away. They express their regret for not telling her how they felt, and how they don't even know her name. Jack and Jack were unsure if they were in love, or if it was just a fleeting moment. However, they are still holding onto the sweet, fleeting memory of a night of passion by the sea.


The chorus repeats, as Jack and Jack plead with the universe to bring them back to Barcelona, where they hope that they can rekindle what they had with the mysterious girl. Jack and Jack imagine that, despite being separated by distance and time, the girl still thinks about that night with them, as they do.


"Barcelona" is a catchy pop song that laments a missed connection, and takes the listener on a journey of longing to live in that moment again where they could have been with the person they had feelings for. Ultimately, this song captures the bittersweet feeling of nostalgia for something that could have been, but never was.

Barcelona
Take me back to Barcelona
Where did you go? God only knows

Is it too late to find you are you out there?
Know you're out there somewhere tonight
In that same dress with that same look in your eyes
Is it too late to tell you how I felt about you
On that one night when we undressed
And we jumped in, can I come fast? (Shit)

I might've been in love with you
I might've been the one for you
Now you're the one that got away
I never even got your name is

Barcelona
Take me back to Barcelona (Oh, oh)
Where did you go? God only knows
Your name is Barcelona
Take me back to Barcelona (Oh, oh)
Where did you go? God only knows
Take me back to Barcelona

Girl, I hope you feel the same
So much more between us than this ocean and these waves
No FC, no Messi; we kicked it for the day
We met in Barcelona, had to go our separate ways
Baby, I know you still think about that night
Or maybe I'm naive, just holding on to you and me
Only got like two or three hours with you before I had to
Hit the road onto the next, I guess we'll never know

I might've been in love with you
I might've been the one for you
Now you're the one that got away
I never even got your name is
