Don't Call It Love
Jonas Blue feat. EDX & Alex Mills Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love, yeah, yeah, yeah

Is it the passion, is it the pleasure?
Give me a reason you wanna hurt us
Taste of our kisses, touch of our fingers
That make you wanna like you do, like you do

Just don't call it love
Don't call it love
Just don't call it love
Don't call it love
Just don't call it love
Don't call it love
What makes you wanna like you do, know you do
Just don't call it love

Infatuated, inflated ego
Intoxicated by what she told ya
Laugh at your jokes and gaze in your eyes 'til
It made you wanna like you do, like you do

Please don't call it love
Don't call it love
Just don't call it love
Don't call it love
Just don't call it love
Don't call it love
What makes you wanna like you do, know you do
Just don't call it love

Just don't call it love, love, love
Just don't call it love
What makes you wanna like you do, know you do
Just don't call it love

So do me a favor
Know you're 'bout to break my heart
And tell me whatever, I just need to keep this part
So don't, don't

Just don't call it love
What makes you wanna like you do, know you do
Just don't call it love
Just don't call it love




Just don't call it love
Just don't call it love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jonas Blue feat. EDX & Alex Mills's Don't Call It Love present a series of contradictory emotions and actions. The song talks about a relationship that has all the familiar markers of being in love โ€“ passion, pleasure, kissing, and touching โ€“ but the performers do not want to label it as such. They seem to be in a temporary phase of infatuation, where they are both intoxicated by each other's company and the compliments they receive. Still, they are wary of getting too attached and do not want to call it love, fearing that it will end badly. The performers ask the listener not to call their relationship love or make promises they cannot keep.


The lyrics of Don't Call It Love suggest that the performers, like many people, have been burned before by love and do not want to repeat the mistake. They are afraid of getting hurt and want to keep things casual until they are sure that this relationship is worth pursuing. The chorus, "Just don't call it love," is repeated several times, emphasizing the performers' reluctance to pin their feelings down. The last stanza makes it clear that the performers know that this relationship will not last; they are trying to preserve the happy moments they have shared for as long as possible.
