Born in Gorinchem, Naaz and her family moved to Rotterdam when she was two. Her parents fled Iraq during the Gulf War; Naaz's father is a doctor, and her mother is his assistant. Naaz was bullied at school but found comfort in the words of one of her teachers. A car accident in which her parents were wounded was a turning point in her life and that of her parents: music had been a 'no-go', but after the accident the family was more open and accepting of their daughter's ambitions.

As a singer, Naaz initially gained media attention as a participant in the Holland's Got Talent TV show in 2014, but her independent career in electronic indie pop seriously took off in 2016 when she started to release singles on Spotify. 'Sadboy' (2016) was the first, although Naaz herself feels that was "just a sketch". She considers 'Words' (2017) to be her proper début song.

Naaz released a string of singles and two EPs: Bits of Naaz (2018) and The Beautiful Struggle (2019).

She disappeared from the spotlights for a year or two, battled some demons and returned as an independent artist in May 2022 - a woman rather than a girl, relocated from Rotterdam to Amsterdam - with the single 'Sad Violins' and, in January 2023, the album Never Have I Ever.

Loving Love
Naaz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't love her but you say so
It's alright, we all got things we don't know
I don't even mind
'Cause I like being by your side
I'll be waiting, I'll be patient
'Til you find your favorite location
Perfectly designed
For a love to be oh-so blind

We'll be falling hard in the black hole
Of our universe
And the whole world is ours
But we won't know
'Cause we're too busy loving love

(Hey-hey-hey) we're too busy loving love, uh
(Hey-hey-hey) 'cause we're too busy loving love
(Hey-hey-hey) we're too busy loving love, uh

Don't listen to what they say
They shouldn't be just one type of way
Traditional old rules
Only lock up the perfect jewels
Show your feelings, say it loud
I love someone so much, dang, I'm proud
We're anciently new school
Loving love like we're supposed to

We'll be falling hard in the black hole
Of our universe
And the whole world is ours
But we won't know
'Cause we're too busy loving love

(Hey-hey-hey) we're too busy loving love, uh
(Hey-hey-hey) 'cause we're too busy loving love
(Hey-hey-hey) we're too busy loving love, uh

(Hey-hey-hey) we're too busy loving love, uh

(Hey-hey-hey) 'cause we're too busy loving love
(Hey-hey-hey) we're too busy loving love, uh

Overall Meaning

In "Loving Love," Naaz speaks about a relationship where one partner is not fully invested in the other, but the other person chooses to stay by their side nonetheless. She starts by acknowledging that the partner does not love the girl in the song, which is alright because there are things we do not know or understand. She does not mind because being by his side is enough for her. She is willing to be patient and wait until he finds the place he wants to be. She perfectly designs this place since love can be blinding.

The chorus suggests that they are too busy loving love to care about anything else. They fall hard into the black hole of their universe, and it feels like they own the entire world. But they won't even know because they are just enjoying falling in love. The song encourages showing and expressing feelings and not adhering to the traditional rules. The old rules only lock up the perfect things and limit the freedoms that love can bring.

Naaz's distinctive voice is perfect for this song, and the lyrics ring true to anyone who has ever stayed in a relationship despite knowing it isn't working out. The song is catchy and upbeat, and the chorus is an earworm that will stick in your head. Overall, it celebrates love and the feeling of falling in love, encouraging people to embrace their feelings and be proud of who they love.

Line by Line Meaning

You don't love her but you say so
You're dishonest about your feelings towards her

Of our universe
In our personal realm

And the whole world is ours
Our love will be all-encompassing

But we won't know
We'll be too focused on each other

'Cause we're too busy loving love
We're consumed by our love for each other

(Hey-hey-hey) we're too busy loving love, uh
Reinforces our obsession with love

(Hey-hey-hey) 'cause we're too busy loving love
Reiterates the theme of the song

(Hey-hey-hey) we're too busy loving love, uh
A catchy and memorable chorus
