Overall Meaning

The lyrics of MJ Cole's song "Sincere" are open to interpretation, but one possible meaning is that the singer is feeling overwhelmed with intense emotions and desires towards a certain person, urging them to be honest and sincere in their mutual interactions. The chorus repeats the phrase "Don't do it, be sincere," emphasizing the importance of honesty and authenticity in building a relationship. The line "Just look what he's done for me" may refer to a previous experience of feeling blindsided or betrayed by someone, leading the singer to prioritize sincerity in their new connection.


The singer also expresses a physical attraction, with the repeated phrase "Caress me, I want you tonight" suggesting a desire for intimacy with the other person. However, the song doesn't solely focus on physical attraction but also on the importance of honesty and sincerity, pleading with the other person to reciprocate those values.

I love how this video displays typical people having a good time and being promiscuous... Makes it even more beautiful. No silly make up and models. :3
