Here, he seems to be saying that he's ready for a fresh start in his love life, and that he's learned from his past mistakes. He repeats "Not the love I lost" several times, emphasizing that he's moving on from a past relationship that didn't work out.


The chorus reinforces this message: "It's a new year for love / Love in the future / Not the love I lost / Not the love I lost / No no no no / Not the love I lost / No no."
