How many? (How many?)
How many wrongs in the night?
How many wrongs in the night, oh
Ooh, caught up in L.A. yeah, yeah, yeah
Caught up in a race yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm tryna keep faith
Caught up in L.A. yeah, yeah
Get the Louis from the Louis store straight
Packin' it up sendin' it to your place
Callin' you up just so I can touch base
I hate how you're so far away
Nobody's perfect
I've made my mistakes
Nobody's perfect
I learned the hard way
I wish you could be here
I miss your embrace
Can't wait to hold you this time
Can't wait I told you I can't wait
You make me feel like I can't lose
Yeah, that's right I wanna get to you
You're all I believe in
I wanna show you everything
You're my strength not my weakness
Yeah, your secrets are safe
Just like your heart is
But I'm caught up in L.A. like a movie
Stuck here on replay
Want you on repeat
When you come to see me, yeah
How many wrongs can I right? (How many?)
How many songs can I write? (Too many)
How many blunts can I smoke in the night (in the night, no)
How many?
How many blunts can I smoke in the night?
Blowing O's underneath the moonlight
Not a lot of things that I won't try
I just bought a Rolls that I don't even drive
Interior red, outside white
Been a hell of a year yeah, yeah
Fuck up a bag make the money disappear, yeah
Workin', worth it
Bodies hangin' from the chandelier yeah, yeah
Now I'm caught up in L.A
Takin' you around
Take an Uber to your place
Pull up just so I can show face
But I can't go to the club 'cause it's too in the straight, yeah, yeah
Used to drive a Chevrolet
Now my car is so nice that I caught a Valet, ay
But my door need it straight
Ah, put on for the family, ay
From the city of the 915
Where the girls are pretty and they know how to ride it, yeah
Autopilot you don't even gotta drive it, ay, ay
Caught up in L.A. yeah ay, ay (ay, ay)
Caught up in L.A. yeah, yeah
Caught up in L.A
How many wrongs can I right? (caught up in L.A., yeah)

How many drinks can I pour in the night?
How many?
How many wrongs can I right?
How many wrongs in the night?
How many wrongs can I right?

The song "Caught Up" by Majid Jordan is about the endearing and exciting feeling of being in love, but also addresses the challenges of maintaining a relationship when distance and distractions seem to be getting in the way. The song begins with the question of how many mistakes can the singer make and still make things right in his relationship. He acknowledges that he's been caught up in the allure of Los Angeles, with all its material pleasures and hedonistic lifestyle. However, he wants to remain grounded and maintain his authenticity even amidst the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. He laments how far away his loved one is and how he wishes he could be closer to them, but despite the difficulties, the singer is unwavering in his love and commitment.
The lyrics present a fascinating glimpse into the life of someone caught up in the fast-paced and alluring world of Los Angeles. The city of angels is known for its material excess, bustle and glamour, and the singer conveys the notion of being lost in the midst of it. He talks about how he feels stuck in the same place, trying to keep the faith, while still trying to enjoy the pleasures that the city has to offer. He mentions how he bought a luxury car that he doesn't even drive, and how he's blowing smoke under the moonlight, trying his best to keep it all together. The song highlights the unattainable pursuit of material wealth that can distract us from real connections and authentic relationships.
One interesting aspect of the song is the production, which features Majid's unique falsetto over a lush and dreamy beat. The song explores the themes of love, materialism, and finding oneself in a new environment, all set to an infectious 80's inspired beat. Another interesting fact about the song is that it was produced by frequent Drake collaborators, Majid Al Maskati and Jordan Ullman - the duo behind the Toronto-based R&B duo. In terms of songwriter credits, the song was co-written by Majid Al Maskati, Dwayne "Supa Dups" Chin-Quee, Tedra Renee Wilson, Jordan Ullman, and Carl Kaowsky.
Overall, the song is a catchy and evocative ode to the struggles and joys of finding love, losing yourself in a new place, and ultimately trying to make things work despite the distance and distractions that come along the way. The chords for the song are: Am, C, F, and G.
Chords:
Am - x02210
