You're On
Madeon(마데온) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me whose side you're on
Tell me whose side you're on
You're on, you're on
Tell me whose side you're on

You have some nerve showing your face here
It had been so long
I thought you'd disappeared
Why'd you pretend that we're still so close
It was all too clear
We need love most

Damn girl, since you've come around, girl
Need to know right now, so
Won't you just
Tell me whose side you're on
Lately, felt the chance that maybe
You could become my baby
If you just
Tell me whose side you're on

Tell me whose side you're on
You're on, you're on
Tell me whose side you're on

It's been so long since I've heard your name
I was losing hope
That you felt the same
And it's been so long since I've seen your face
That in my own mind
I had been replaced

Damn girl, since you've come around, girl
Need to know right now, so
Won't you just
Tell me whose side you're on
Lately, felt the chance that maybe
You could become my baby
If you just
Tell me whose side you're on

Tell me whose side you're on
You're on, you're on
Tell me whose side you're on

Damn girl, since you've come around, girl
Need to know right now, so
Won't you just
Tell me whose side you're on
Lately, felt the chance that maybe
You could become my baby




If you just
Tell me whose side you're on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Madeon's song "You're On" explore the dynamics of a past relationship and the struggles of moving on. The chorus repeatedly asks the question, "Tell me whose side you're on," indicating a level of uncertainty and mistrust between the two parties. The verses portray a sense of longing and nostalgia, as the singer reminisces on the past and wonders if there is a chance for reconciliation.


The first verse establishes a tone of bitterness and shock as the singer confronts their former partner. The line "you have some nerve showing your face here" implies betrayal or deceit on the part of the ex-lover, and the repetition of "tell me whose side you're on" highlights a lack of trust and an expectation of conflict. The second verse continues this theme, describing a sense of unease and discomfort at the prospect of running into the ex-lover again.


The chorus then shifts to a plea for clarity and direction, asking the partner to choose a side and make a commitment. The line "we need love most" suggests that the author is willing to put aside their doubts and hesitations in order to pursue a relationship, as long as there is mutual trust and devotion.


Overall, "You're On" portrays a complex mix of emotions and desires, as the singer struggles to come to terms with their past and determine a path forward.

I had my crack at the lyrics, i'm not quite sure about a couple of things, so feel free to leave suggestions to what it could be! Final edit by Madeon

Tell me whose side you’re on
Tell me whose side you’re on
You’re on, You’r on
Tell me whose side you’re on

You have some nerve showing your face here
It had been so long
I thought you’d disappeared 
Why’d you pretend that we’re still so close
When it's all too clear
Who you need the most

Damn girl, since you’ve come around, girl 
I need to know right now, so
Won’t you just
Tell me whose side you’re on
Lately, I've felt the chance that maybe
You could become my baby
If you just
Tell me whose side you’re on

Tell me whose side you’re on
You’re on, you’re on
Tell me whose side you’re on

It’s been so long since I’ve heard your name
I was losing hope
Thought you felt the same
And it’s been so long since I’ve seen your face
That in my own mind
I had been replaced

Damn girl, since you’ve come around, girl 
I need to know right now, so
Won’t you just
Tell me whose side you’re on
Lately, I've felt the chance that maybe
You could become my baby
If you just
Tell me whose side you’re on

Tell me whose side you’re on
You’re on, you’re on
Tell me whose side you’re on

Damn girl, since you’ve come around, girl 
Need to know right now, so
Won’t you just
Tell me whose side you’re on
Lately, you’ve had the chance to maybe
You could become my baby
If you just
Tell me whose side you’re on

You're on, you're on
Tell me whose side you're on

[Verse 1]
You have some nerve showing your face here
It had been so long, I thought you disappeared
Why'd you pretend that we’re still so close
When it’s all too clear who you need the most

[Chorus 2]
But damn girl, since you come around girl
I need to know right now so won't you just
Tell me whose side you're on
Lately, I felt the chance that
Maybe, you could become my baby
If you just tell me whose side you’re on

[Chorus 1]
Tell me whose side you're on
Tell me whose side you're on
You're on, you're on
Tell me whose side you're on

[Verse 2]
It's been so long since I heard your name
I was losing hope, that you felt the same
And it's been so long since I'd seen your face
That in my own mind, I had been replaced
So won't you just

[Chorus 2]
But damn girl, since you come around girl
I need to know right now so won't you just
Tell me whose side you're on
Lately, I felt the chance that
Maybe, you could become my baby
If you just tell me whose side you’re on

Tell me whose side you're on
Tell me whose side you're on
You're on, you're on
Tell me whose side you're on

But damn girl, since you come around girl
I need to know right now so won't you just
Tell me whose side you're on
Lately, I felt the chance that
Maybe, you could become my baby
If you just tell me whose side you’re on

​@Stickyybenzz This song is 8 years old😂
So when this song was released, I was 15 years old 😊

Best of luck to you, school can be hard, but keep your head down and endure the struggle.
As soon as you get your first paycheck, all of your struggles will be null and void !
I remember the difficulties. Be yourself and let nobody change who you are.
Your personality is precious and you will soon lose your childhood magic. Find something/someone that inspires you and use it as your motivation to grow up.
I can recommend David Goggins.
He suffered as much as the rest of us, but he never gave up. He is an example for potential.
Best of luck to you !!❤

My 1st Madeon song.
Now I see why people want him to do a collab with Porter Robinson.

@caseynovax

so glad they did. "Shelter" turned out wonderfully and showcased their talents equally well

@lilaclunablossom

I didn't really like it.

@carlofraga467

+Bo Warner they have a mix where they mixed sad machine and you're on, but it's only on their live mix rn, I only know cuz I heard them play it live at a music festival
