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.”
Where Did I Go?
Jorja Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby it's late and I'm confused
You showed me love that wasn't real (wasn't real, wasn't real)
Can't teach yourself to be sincere
Where did I go?
When did the sun rise?
How did I fall?
Where did I go?
When did I realize
My love was on hold?
So now this is goodbye
Good, goodbye
Goodbye
Good, goodbye
Goodbye
This time my questions lay with you (lay with you, lay with you)
'Cause each time inside I play the fool (played the fool, played the fool)
Silly boy, where did that man go?
The one that hurt my soul (the one that hurt my soul)
Now little man, I left you on your own
With the whispers on your phone
I've been askin' all along (asking all along)
Where did I go? (where did I go?)
When did the sun rise (when did the sun rise?)
How did I fall? (how did I fall?)
Got lost in the moonlight (lost in the moonlight)
Where did I go? (where did I go?)
When did I realize
My love was on hold?
So now this is goodbye
Good, goodbye
Goodbye
Good, goodbye
Goodbye
Good, goodbye
Goodbye
Good, goodbye
Goodbye
Where did I go? (where did I go?)
When did the sun rise?
How did I fall? (how did I fall?)
Got lost in the moonlight
Where did I go? (where did I go?)
When did I realize
My love was on hold? (love was on hold)
So now this is goodbye
Good, goodbye
The lyrics of Jorja Smith's song "Where Did I Go?" describe the confusion and pain of a failed relationship. The singer of the story is struggling to come to terms with a love that was not genuine from the very beginning. The opening lines suggest that the singer may have known all along that the love was not right but chose to ignore the signs. The chorus of the song asks a series of questions that are unanswered. The questions may imply that the singer does not have a clear understanding of what went wrong or when things started falling apart.
The second verse is directed to the former lover. The singer addresses the former lover as a silly boy and questions where the man who hurt her soul disappeared to. The bridge of the song is particularly poignant when the singer acknowledges that she had been asking herself the same questions about where she disappeared to all along. The repeated chorus in the song emphasizes the feeling of confusion and the lack of understanding about what really happened in the relationship.

I thought you were a man, but you proved to be nothing more than a silly boy
The one that hurt my soul (the one that hurt my soul)
You caused me deep pain and harm that remains with me even now
Now little man, I left you on your own
I'm done trying to fix and save you, it's time for you to face the consequences alone
With the whispers on your phone
I know you're not being truthful and faithful, and there's proof of it on your phone
I've been askin' all along (asking all along)
I've been searching for answers and the truth from the beginning

@jarvisfleming3955
I really think people in the comments are missing the beauty of this song and its message. She's far beyond a pretty face...she makes deep heartfelt music with a message. Les not be vain we get caught up in her looks and forget to be consumers of good ass music. She's a artist first.
@Gabriel-nw6lb
Fr i didn't expect this comment section to be so... Shallow
@loRdpharaoh
be real people often look at you first, the way you look will always be the first impression. thats just natural human behavior.
@jarvisfleming3955
@@loRdpharaoh and I’m challenging that natural instinct and proposing that you really listen to the music. The true purpose we’re here.
