On October 28th, Lauren Jauregui released the soulful, stripped-down ballad “Always Love” alongside a nostalgia-tinted video. The reflective track addresses the dissolution of a past public romantic relationship with rapper Ty Dolla $igh.
Of the track, Lauren says, “Always Love is a ballad from my soul. I wrote it after a profound breakup in my life; it was my way of processing the complex emotion that I felt when I knew that I was no longer supposed to be with this person but I truly loved them so much. It was a reflection on the beautiful and not-so-beautiful parts that made our story what it was and a reminder to them and myself that even though it didn’t work, it’s Always Love.”
Always Love
Lauren Jauregui Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I reach over and realize it's over, I just
Let the memories wash over me, through me and out of me
But they're still on the sheets
And they stay there
So I lay there with you
Even though we didn't work
And even though we hurt each other more than once
It was love, always love
For all those times that we locked eyes
When I was yours and you were mine
It's always love, always love
Nobody talks about walking away when there's still love
Feeling so far after being so close is a mindfuck
You helped me grow into me
So I couldn't help but change
But changing not seeing some things that
I just couldn't change
And even though we didn't work
It's always love, always love
And even though we hurt each other more than once
It was love, always love
For all those times that we locked eyes
When I was yours and you were mine
It's always love, always love
And even though we didn't work
It's always love, always love
And even though we hurt each other more than once
It's always love
For all those times that we locked eyes
When I was yours and you were mine
It's always love, oh, it's always love
It's always love, always love

It's kinda hard waking up in the morning without you
Starting the day without you by my side is emotionally challenging
When I reach over and realize it's over, I just
When I wake up and acknowledge that our relationship has ended, I simply
Let the memories wash over me, through me and out of me

However, amidst the changes, there were certain aspects I failed to perceive
I just couldn't change
As hard as I tried, there were elements I couldn't alter

Love remains constant and everlasting
It's always love, always love
Love remains, continuously and unconditionally

[Verse 1]
It's kinda hard waking up in the morning without you
When I reach over and realize it's over, I just
Let the memories wash over me through me and out of me
But they're still on the sheets and they stay there
So I lay there with you
[Chorus]
Even though we didn't work
It's always love, always love
And even though we hurt each other
More than once
It was love, always love
For all those times that we locked eyes
When I was yours and you were mine
It's always love, always love
[Verse 2]
Nobody talks about walking away when there's still love
Feeling so far after being so close is a mindfuck
You helped me grow into me so I couldn't help but change
But changing meant seeing some things that I just couldn't change
[Chorus]
And even though we didn't work
It's always love, always love
And even though we hurt each other
More than once
It was love, always love
For all those times that we locked eyes
When I was yours and you were mine
It's always love, always love

It's always love
All those times that we locked eyes
When I was yours and you were mine
It's always love, oh, it's always love
It's always love, always love
