The lyrics of Karina Pasian's song "They Ain't Gotta Love You" talk about the inevitable negativity that comes with being in a relationship. The person she's singing to is being judged and criticized by the people around them, and Karina is reassuring her that she doesn't have to worry about it. She tells her partner that other people don't have to love them or understand their relationship - they don't have to hang out or deal with them, they don't have to listen to them or even think about them. The only thing that matters is the love they have for each other.
Karina Pasian's message in this song is about the importance of staying true to yourself and not letting other people dictate your life or relationship. She addresses the criticism and disapproval that often comes with falling in love, especially in situations where the relationship is culturally or socially unacceptable to others. Despite all of this, she is sending a message of hope and perseverance. She is telling her partner that it's okay to be different and have a love that people don't understand because ultimately, their love is worth fighting for.
