Overall Meaning

"Love Drunk" is a song by Loick Essien featuring Labrinth. The song is about the feeling of being "love drunk," where everything else fades away and the only thing that matters is the person you are infatuated with. The song starts with Labrinth asking about the feelings and tastes of being love drunk and then signals the start of something exciting. Loick sings about how the woman he is with is like a killer and he is her Romeo, inferring that he cannot resist her. He uses the metaphor of alcohol to describe his intoxication from her presence, and how he loses himself in the moment. The chorus is all about being love drunk, and how the two of them are drinking each other in, lost in their feelings of infatuation.

The second verse sees Loick doubling down on the alcohol imagery, talking about how popping the lid off a bottle makes his baby get freaky. He describes her as a "cop filla," suggesting that she fills him with her intoxicating aura. This verse is also a repetition of the first verse, with the same lyrics as before. After this, the song returns to the chorus, where things escalate further, and they won't stop until they end up on the floor, still drunk on each other's love.

Overall, "Love Drunk" is a song that glorifies the feeling of being infatuated with someone, equating it to the dizzying sensation of being intoxicated. It perfectly captures the heady rush of new love and how it consumes every other thought in your mind.
