You're Good
M.I.A./Diplo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you're such a ball
I'm glad you're mine
You're so good to me
How come you are
You hold my hand
That I get in a bad mood
You're so good to me
And I love it, love it, yeah
You're my baby, oh yeah
Don't mean maybe, oh no
I know your eyes aren't on other guys when we're apart
You're so good to me
How come you are
And every night, you hold me so tight when I kiss you goodbye
You're so good to me
And I love it, love it, yeah
You're my baby, oh yeah
Don't mean maybe, oh oh
You're my baby, oh yeah
Don't mean maybe, oh oh
You're my baby, oh oh
Oh oh
In M.I.A./Diplo's song You're Good, the singer sings about their partner, describing them as small yet charming, and expressing gratitude for their relationship. The chorus emphasizes their partner's goodness and loyalty, and the singer seems to be in awe of how good they are to them, questioning "how come you are." The verses describe how the partner puts up with the singer's bad moods, and how they hold them tight every night.
One interpretation of the song is that the singer is surprised and appreciative of how well their partner treats them, perhaps indicating that they didn't expect to find someone so good to them. The repetition of "you're my baby" suggests a strong emotional connection between the two, and the chorus serves as a reminder of the partner's unwavering loyalty and love.
Musically, the song features a catchy beat and a melodic chorus that complements the nostalgic, romantic lyrics. The use of electronic instrumentation and vocal effects gives the song a unique sound that distinguishes it from other love songs.
