Lonely Hearts
JoJo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know myself well
I know just what to do with my own touch
I can spray my Chanel
In this empty hotel, came back to the Roosevelt

Where I can't abuse my trust
Can switch up and ghost on us, I cannot fuck me up
Like you, I'm insecure enough
And so tired of guessin' if you care

How can I work on me if I'm working on your body? (I'm working on your body)
I thought we were meant to be, but we never really got it, did we?
I know one thing, lonely hearts won't break (no)
Hearts won't break (no)
Lonely hearts won't break (no)
Hearts won't break
Hearts won't break

I can pick up the phone right now
Make that 2 A.M call
I know just what to say
But that ain't what I need right now
And I won't let my wants get in my way

'Cause you might abuse my trust (oh)
Can switch up and ghost on us, I cannot fuck me up
Like you, I'm insecure enough (oh)
And I don't need to be guessin' if you care

How can I work on me if I'm working on your body? (Working on your body, oh no)
I thought we were meant to be, but we never really got it, did we?
I know one thing, lonely hearts won't break (no)
Hearts won't break (no)
Lonely hearts won't break (no)
Hearts won't break (no)

I'm likin' bein' alone
Emotions under control
Right now is only for me (me, me)
Just tryna find myself
I don't need nobody's help
Oh, don't take it personally

I know one thing, lonely hearts won't break (no)
Hearts won't break (no)
Lonely hearts won't break (no)
Hearts won't break (no)

Me if I'm working
Working on your body
Me if I'm
Me if I'm
Me if I'm working on your body




Me if I'm working
Me

Overall Meaning

In the song "Lonely Hearts" by JoJo, the singer talks about her journey of self-discovery after a failed relationship. She knows herself well and what to do with her own touch. She's in an empty hotel room at the Roosevelt, where she can spray her Chanel and not worry about someone abusing her trust. The loneliness she feels is better than being with someone who doesn't value her.


JoJo is aware of her insecurities and refuses to let them sabotage her. She doesn't want to work on somebody else's body when she needs to work on herself. She thought the relationship was meant to be, but they never really got it. Despite all that, she knows one thing, lonely hearts won't break as opposed to hearts that are with the wrong person.


JoJo tries to find solace in being alone, not needing anyone's help. She's on a journey of self-love and discovery. Her priorities are herself, and she's not going to let anyone get in the way of that.

The self-confidence and independence that she is serving is so needed, if this whole album is like this, I may not look at a man again for at least three years
