Are U Still Down?
Jon B Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chorus:
Girl it¡¯s alright, baby
'Cause it¡¯s there in your eyes yeah
I can see that you want me
By the way that you smile
Are you still down for me

Left once again at home
Another night on your own
Ain't no fun in lovin if you¡¯re lovin alone
How does it feel to be useless, oh no
Can you recall how close we used to be then
Can you still remember those feelings again
Seems like everytime I see you
There¡¯s a tear in your eye
Time to make some decisions
Or go dying inside

Rap:
Tell ¡¯em all call me a fool
But I¡¯m stuck in this love thing
Plus I¡¯m over heatin¡¯ from the rush
Our tongues touch
Kissin' fellin' fireworks
Watch the sky
I makes you smile
But you'd rather have what makes you cry
Say goodbye and leave now
With my heart on my sleeve
Memories now what I found is you
Still care you had feelings
And they¡¯re still there baby
Girl keep it real here
Are you still down?

Chorus:
Girl it¡¯s alright, baby
'Cause it¡¯s there in your eyes yeah
I can see that you want me
By the way that you smile
Are you still down for me

Remember that evening
I knew that you were too scared
To go all the way
But you did it to please me
You were crying it was raining
When you gave it to me
The more I see you
The more that I feel inside
And I know one day
You¡¯ll make it back to where you can fly
Watch time go, don¡¯t cry
Tomorrow brings better days
Let me dry your eyes
And take your burden away

Rap:
Only once in a lifetime
Touch my soul go slow
Baby boo don¡¯t rush the flow
Got me all weak baby
But I¡¯m strong in parts
More bounce to the ounce
With the longest sparks
Gettin' mine like fine wine
Measured in time
Many other brothers loved you
But the pleasure was mine
Mama taught me how
To love a woman properly sprung
We committed so I hit it
So it¡¯s properly done
Are you still down?

Girl it's alright baby
'Cause it's there in your eyes yeah
I can see that you want me
By the way that you smile
Are you still down for me?

Overall Meaning

The song "Are U Still Down?" by Jon B is a classic R&B track that explores the themes of love, heartbreak, and reconciliation. The song opens with the chorus, where Jon B reassures his lover that everything is going to be alright, and he can tell that she still wants him because of the way she smiles. The first verse paints a picture of his lover's loneliness and despair, as she spends yet another night alone. He questions how it feels to be useless and reminds her of how close they used to be. He notices that there is always a tear in her eye, and it's time to make some decisions before they both die inside.


In the second verse, the rapper explores his personal feelings about the relationship. He knows that people may call him a fool for sticking around, but he's in love and unable to let go. He describes how the smallest interactions with his partner light up his world, like a burst of fireworks. He acknowledges that she seems to be feeling the same way as he by keeping it real. The bridge alludes to their first sexual encounter, and how it was a memorable moment for both of them. The song ends with a repeat of the chorus and ad libs, where Jon B's soothing voice assures the listener that everything is going to be alright.
