Singles You Up
Jordan Davis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wonder if you stopped his world like you did mine just now
I see you sippin' white wine 'stead of whiskey ('stead of whiskey)
And does he want you to be just a little more city?
Well, I'm sorry if I'm overstepping boundaries
I don't mean to be, but I've just got to tell you how I feel
I'ma be the first one calling you baby (baby)
If he ain't holding you tight, if he ain't treatin' you right
I'ma be the first one calling him crazy (crazy)
'Cause girl, it's just a matter of time until you find
That the right guy's staring you back into your eyes, right now
No rush, but if he ever singles you up
He hasn't even looked your way since you walked in (walked in)
But I can't help it that I can't take my eyes off of you
Your favorite song just came on and me and you were singing along (along)
And he don't even know a single word
If he ever singles you up, if he's ever stupid enough
I'ma be the first one calling you baby (baby)
If he ain't holding you tight, if he ain't treating you right
I'ma be the first one calling him crazy (crazy)
'Cause girl, it's just a matter of time until you find
That the right guy's staring you back into your eyes, right now
No rush, but if he ever singles you up
If he ever singles you up
I'ma be the first to call baby
Sorry if I'm overstepping boundaries
I don't mean to be, but I've just got to tell you how I feel
If he ever singles you up, if he's ever stupid enough
I'ma be the first one calling you baby (baby)
If he ain't holding you tight, if he ain't treating you right
I'ma be the first one calling him crazy (crazy)
'Cause girl, it's just a matter of time until you find
That the right guy's staring you back into your eyes, right now
No rush, but if he ever singles you up
Oh, if he ever singles you up
If he ever singles you up
The song Singles You Up by Jordan Davis is about a man who is secretly in love with a woman who is in a relationship with another man. The man notices that the woman appears happy with her partner, but he can't help but feel like she deserves better. He notices that she is drinking white wine instead of whiskey and wonders if her partner is trying to change her. He then confesses that if her partner ever mistreats or breaks up with her, he would be ready to step in and treat her right.
The lyrics are filled with both subtle and direct messages about the man's feelings towards the woman. He references the fact that he hasn't seen her laugh like that in a long time, indicating that he has been paying close attention to her. He also points out that her partner doesn't seem to know any of her favorite songs, and implies that he is not paying attention to her needs. The repeated refrain of "if he ever singles you up" serves as a warning to the woman's partner that the man is interested in her and ready to step in if he's not treating her right.
Overall, Singles You Up is a ballad about unrequited love and the hope that the right person will come along to treat the singer's love interest as she deserves to be treated.

I had a boyfriend who cheated on me and had a baby with someone else. The day we broke up, my friend took me out to cheer me up and I ended up meeting my husband, we’ve been together now for 22 years and he is the love of my life, I’m so grateful that my ex singled me up.
@pamcolmus-mcgee7812
He "Singled Me Up" and I thank God every day that he did!

I feel this for the girls who are either a momma to a mean/bad guys' kids or a married women with someone who is a jerk. I do not think this is a friend zone song I feel this is for the ones who have respect on relationships and really want to be better for the person who is hurting.
