Following the disbanding of Destiny's Child in 2006, Rowland released her second studio album, Ms. Kelly (2007). In 2009, she hosted the first season of The Fashion Show, and was featured on David Guetta's "When Love Takes Over", which topped the charts in several countries. Its success influenced Rowland to explore electronic dance music on her third studio album, Here I Am (2011). Her fourth album, Talk a Good Game (2013), became her third top-ten album on the US Billboard 200 chart. Rowland was a television judge on the eighth season of The X Factor UK (2011), as well as the third season of The X Factor USA (2013). She has continued her television career by hosting Chasing Destiny (2016) and starred as a coach on The Voice Australia (2017–2020).
Throughout her career, Rowland has sold over 40 million records as a solo artist, and a further 60 million records with Destiny's Child. Her work has earned her several awards and nominations, including five Grammy Awards, one Billboard Music Award, and two Soul Train Music Awards. Rowland has also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as part of Destiny's Child, and as a solo artist, she has been honored by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and Essence for her contributions to music. In 2014, Fuse ranked Rowland in their "100 Most Award-Winning Artists" list at number 20.
Haven't Told You
Kelly Rowland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What do you see?
Only me
Got nothing to hide
Seek and you'll find
What's on my mind
It's happened so fast
Not a part of my plan
Haven't told you
Just how much I love you
Only 'bout dreamin'
I show no feelings
Haven't told you
Just how much I love you
Time for revealin'
And I will give you something too
A love from me to you
Look in my eyes
You know me so well
Can't you tell that I
Am way in to deep
I'm going down
So catch me now
It's happened so fast
Not a part of my plan
Now I'm leaving my heart in your hand
Haven't told you
Just how much I love you
Only 'bout dreamin'
I show no feelings
Haven't told you
Just how much I love you
Time for revealin'
And I will give you something too
A love from me
I feel you
Everyday
I breathe you
Every single moment from the start
I see you
Constantly
I feel you
You move me so
No letting go
You smile in me
My heart is yours to keep
Haven't told you
Just how much I love you
Only 'bout dreamin'
I show no feelings
Haven't told you
Just how much I love you
Time for revealin'
And I will give you something too
Haven't told you
Just how much I love you
Only 'bout dreamin'
I show no feelings
Haven't told you
Just how much I love you
Time for revealin'
And I will give you something too
A love from me to you
In Kelly Rowland's song "Haven't Told You", she speaks to a lover about how she is deeply in love with them but has not yet found the words to express her feelings. She insists that her love is real and that she has been dreaming of the day when she can finally reveal her true feelings. The passage "Look in my eyes, What do you see? Only me, Got nothing to hide, Seek and you'll find, What's on my mind," implies that she is an open book and is willing to be vulnerable with her lover if only they will take the time to look deeper into her eyes and see the love that she so desperately wants to express.
Further into the song, Kelly Rowland admits that the love she feels for this person is beyond her control, "Can't you tell that I Am way in too deep, I'm going down, So catch me now." She is fearful of the intensity of her emotions and seeks refuge in the love of this other person. Kelly's lyrics are a heartfelt plea for her lover to not only understand her but to reciprocate her feelings. In conclusion, Kelly Rowland's "Haven't Told You" is a poignant account of the depths of love and the vulnerability of opening up to someone.
