About You
NOTD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Suddenly, unannounced, lightin' up my screen
I was unaware, you could take me there
Seven months on my own, still I'm unprepared
I was good, I was fine, thought I made it out
Found some new things to do to distract myself
I was unaware, you could take me her
Now, now, now
I don't wanna think about you no more, ooh
I don't wanna think about you, no, but I do
I keep tryna move on, no, but I can't move on
When my head is glued on me and you
I don't wanna think about
Stayin' out way too late, down on 80th Street
Where you laughed when I wiped lipstick off your teeth
And we wrote our names by the bathroom sink
Never thought we were temporary
I don't wanna think about you no more, ooh
I don't wanna think about you, no, but I do
I keep tryna move on, no, but I can't move on
When my head is glued on me and you
I don't wanna think about you, you
You, yeah
I don't wanna think about you, you
You, yeah
I don't wanna think about you, no, but I do
I keep tryna move on (you), no, but I can't move on (you)
When my head is glued on (you) me and you
I don't wanna think about you no more, ooh
I don't wanna think about you, no, but I do
I keep tryna move on, no, but I can't move on
When my head is glued on me and you
I don't wanna think about you
You no more, ooh
I don't wanna think about you, no, but I do
I keep tryna move on, no, but I can't move on
When my head is glued on me and you
I don't wanna think about you
The song "About You" by NOTD & Nightly is a melancholic depiction of a heartbroken individual trying to move on from a past love. The lyrics describe the singer's initial elation at seeing their ex's name on their phone screen, but this is quickly followed by a sense of unease and frustration. The singer reflects on the seven months they had spent alone, trying to move on but realizing that they were unprepared for the overwhelming emotions of heartbreak.
The song's chorus revolves around the singer's internal dilemma. They do not want to think about their ex anymore, but they cannot seem to escape the memory of their past love. The second verse of the song takes on a nostalgic tone as the singer remembers a specific moment shared with their ex. They stayed out way too late, laughed and joked around while wiping lipstick off teeth, and wrote their names on the bathroom sink. The lyrics suggest that the singer believed that their love was not temporary, but unfortunately, it was.
Now, the singer is stuck, unable to move on from their past love. The song's message is a relatable one for anyone who has experienced heartbreak, as it demonstrates the struggle to reconcile memories of the past with current desires for the future.

Tradução
Perdi uma chamada e eu pirei quando vi seu nome
Missed a call and I freaked when I saw your name
De repente, sem avisar, iluminando minha tela
Suddenly, unannounced, lighting up my screen
Eu não sabia, você poderia me levar lá
I was unaware, you could take me there
Sete meses sozinho, ainda estou despreparado
Seven months on my own, still I'm unprepared
Eu estava bem, eu estava bem, pensei que tinha conseguido
I was good, I was fine, thought I made it out
Encontrei algumas coisas novas para fazer para me distrair
Found some new things to do to distract myself
Eu não sabia, você poderia me levar aqui agora, agora, agora
I was unaware, you could take me here now, now, now
Eu não quero mais pensar em você, ooh-ooh
I don't wanna think about you no more, ooh-ooh
Eu não quero pensar em você, não, mas eu quero
I don't wanna think about you, no, but I do
Eu continuo tentando seguir em frente, não, mas não posso seguir em frente
I keep tryna move on, no, but I can't move on
Quando minha cabeça está colada em mim e você
When my head is glued on me and you
Eu não quero pensar
I don't wanna think about
Ficar fora até tarde, na Navy Street
Staying out way too late, down on Navy Street
Onde você riu quando limpei o batom dos seus dentes
Where you laughed when I wiped lipstick off your teeth
E escrevemos nossos nomes na pia do banheiro
And we wrote our names by the bathroom sink
Nunca pensei que éramos temporários
Never thought we were temporary
Eu não quero mais pensar em você, ooh-ooh
I don't wanna think about you no more, ooh-ooh
Eu não quero pensar em você, não, mas eu quero
I don't wanna think about you, no, but I do
Eu continuo tentando seguir em frente, não, mas não posso seguir em frente
I keep tryna move on, no, but I can't move on
Quando minha cabeça está colada em mim e você
When my head is glued on me and you
Eu não quero pensar
I don't wanna think about
Você, você, você (oh, sim)
You, you, you (oh, yeah)
Eu não quero pensar
I don't wanna think about
Você, você, você (oh, sim)
You, you, you (oh, yeah)
Eu não quero pensar em você, não, mas eu quero (eu quero, eu quero)
I don't wanna think about you, no, but I do (I do, I do)
(Eu continuo tentando seguir em frente, não, mas não posso seguir em frente) você
(I keep tryna move on, no, but I can't move on) you
(Quando minha cabeça está colada em mim e você) você
(When my head is glued on me and you) you
Eu não quero mais pensar em você, ooh!
I don't wanna think about you no more, ooh!
Eu não quero pensar em você, não, mas eu quero
I don't wanna think about you, no, but I do
Eu continuo tentando seguir em frente, não, mas não posso seguir em frente

This song is low key addictive. The music, the vocals, the lyrics…just perfection. Can’t wait for my summer vacations to play this max volume with an open sunroof by the beach. Thank you for this high quality music!

Pretty happy with this song, I'm very excited to see what collaborations are coming from NOTD this year, I hope the next one is the collab with Grey, I'm sure it would be my favorite song of the year (btw the video is amazing, Henke always does an excellent job 🔥).

Didn’t expect to see Grey’s name here!!!

@Haji84 Sam & Tobi are big fans of Grey and on October 11 last year Michael (one of the members of Grey) uploaded a couple of instagram stories where he confirmed and showed a preview of the song he was working on with NOTD which from what I could hear may be titled "Late Night Feels".
