In "Me And Love," Kofi sings about the complexities and challenges of a romantic relationship. The lyrics depict a situation where the love interest promises to be faithful and stay with him, but ends up doing things that make him feel betrayed and hurt. The phrase "Kyerɛme odo" is repeated throughout the song, which can be translated to "tell me love" or "speak of love." It can be interpreted as a plea for honesty and transparency in the relationship, as the singer wants to know where they stand.
The verses highlight the disappointment felt by the singer, who realizes that the promises made were not sincere. The repetition of "No Libi Libi Laba Laba" could be a metaphor for confusion or a state of being lost in the complicated dynamics of the relationship. Kofi also refers to the love interest as "Abena" and "Obaa," which are names commonly used to address women in Ghanaian culture.
