Whats Love Got To Do With It
Kygo Ft. Tina Turner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You must understand though the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that
Oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart, when a heart can be broken?

Oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emo-
Oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart, when a heart can be broken?

Oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emo-
Oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart, when a heart can be broken?

It may seem to you that I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me

Oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart, when a heart can be broken?

Oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart, when a heart can be broken?

What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emo-
Oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart, when a heart can be broken?

Oh




Oh, what's love?
What's love?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kygo ft. Tina Turner's song "What's Love Got To Do With It" describe a romantic relationship that is driven by physical attraction rather than emotional love. The singer acknowledges that while the touch of her partner's hand makes her heart race, this physical attraction does not necessarily equate to true love. The singer questions the importance of love in a relationship, asking "What's love got to do with it?" and positing that love is merely a "second-hand emotion" that is not necessary for a relationship to be fulfilling. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing that a heart can be broken and therefore, love may not be worth pursuing.


Through this song, the singer is conveying a complex message about the nature of love in romantic relationships. On one hand, the thrill of physical attraction is undeniable, and the singer acknowledges that it can be difficult to ignore. On the other hand, the singer also implies that without emotional love, a relationship may not be worth pursuing, as the potential heartbreak is not worth it.
