Smith has been performing since the age of 8 and writing songs since 11, amassing a broad catalog of mostly unreleased tracks that skew from pop to modern soul. One of the earliest songs she remembers writing was called “High Street,” about when all the stores in her hometown of Walsall, in the midwest of England, closed during the economic recession of the late-’00s, leaving behind a hollow ghost town. Walsall is a run-down place, Smith said, with “a lot of creative people, but not many possibilities.”
On Your Own
Jorja Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Photographs my picture by my bed
What you think when you said all that you did
You let me think that I caused all, all this shit
Said you're tired of my problem plus a lot of big talk
Yeah, I'm tired of being hushed now I'm all done talking to ya
One last thing for ya
So take it all
On your own tonight
You're all alone tonight
Wasted it all
On yourself tonight
You're by yourself tonight
This time I'm gone
Even better now I've left you
But I've lost a lot of trust
Over time and I've got lost in love
Got hearts broke so I know why
I wouldn't trust
So I'mma build myself back in my own way
Go on and take you off your old ways
Now I'm all done talking to ya
One last thing for ya
Take it all
On your own tonight
You're all alone tonight
Wasted it all
On yourself tonight
You're by yourself tonight
Take
All the love
And waste
Yourself tonight
Take it all
On your own tonight
You're all alone tonight
Wasted it all
On yourself tonight
You're by yourself tonight
Take it all
On your own tonight
You're all alone tonight
Wasted it all
On yourself tonight
You're by yourself tonight
The lyrics of Jorja Smith's song "On Your Own" convey a sense of strength and independence after a difficult breakup. The singer reflects on the past, recognizing that the other person did not treat her right and even made her feel like she was the cause of their problems. However, she realizes that she should not take responsibility for someone else's behavior and decides to move on without them.
The chorus, where she repeatedly tells the other person to "take it all on your own tonight," is a clear message that they should deal with the consequences of their actions alone. The singer is empowering herself by letting go of what was holding her back and taking control of her own life. She acknowledges the hurt she has experienced but is ready to move forward with strength and determination.
Overall, "On Your Own" is a powerful message of self-worth, independence, and resilience. It encourages listeners to take responsibility for their own actions and to never settle for less than they deserve in a relationship.
