Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I really believe in love
I really believe in love that won't die
But no matter how hard I try
I just can't make you realize
I've been here all along

When it comes to me and you
No spotlight on
'Cause you always think you can do better
Better, better

But will you call me when I'm famous?
When I'm famous
Would you call my name
Will you call me when I'm famous?
When I'm famous
Will you call my name
When I'm famous?

What's a man gotta do to make you happy?
Is it all about the fortune and fame?
Would you care if they scream my name?
Make believe I would still feel the same?

I've been here all along
When it comes to me and you
No spotlight on
'Cause you always think you can do better
Better, better

But will you call me when I'm famous?
When I'm famous
Would you call my name
Will you call me when I'm famous?
When I'm famous
Will you call my name
When I'm famous?

If I told you honestly
Honestly I don't believe
You would take the diamond rings
Things that only fade overnight

I would rather you and me
Living out another dream
Make a new reality
And hopefully
You won't only call me when I'm famous

(When I'm famous, baby) when I'm famous
Would you call my name (would you call my name, would you call, baby?)
Will you call me when I'm famous?
(Will you, when I'm famous, yeah?) when I'm famous
Will you call my name (would you call my name?)

(Will you call me?)
(Will you call me?) oh, baby
(Will you call, call my name?) will you call my name?
(Will you call me?) will you, will you?
(Will you call me?) oh, baby
(Will you call, call my name?) oh, oh, no, baby

I really believe in love
I really believe in love that won't die
And it can only get better




Better, better
When I'm famous

Overall Meaning

In the song Famous by Nathan Sykes, the singer expresses his belief in true love that will never die. He has been a consistent presence in the life of the person he loves, but she seems oblivious to his feelings. He wonders if she will finally notice him once he becomes successful and famous. He questions if her love is conditional on his fortune and fame or if she will love him for who he is. He hopes that they will live out their dreams together and that she will not only call him when he is famous.


The lyrics of Famous are a commentary on the nature of love and relationships in the digital age. Social media and reality television have created a culture that values fame and celebrity above all else. It is easy to get caught up in the idea of being famous and forget what truly matters. The singer is asking his love interest if she will still be there when the cameras stop rolling and the applause fades away. He questions if her love is real or if it is just based on his popularity and success.


The song also explores the theme of self-worth and validation. The singer asks if having fame and fortune is the only way to gain someone's attention and love. He wonders if he is not good enough as he is or if he needs external validation to feel worthy. The lyrics show that success and fame do not equal happiness or fulfillment, and that true love is worth more than any material possession.

FAMOSO
Nathan Sykes

Realmente creo en el amor
Realmente creo en el amor que no morirá
Pero no importa que tan duro lo intente
No puedo hacer que te des cuenta.

He estado aquí todo el tiempo
Cuando llegó esto para ti y para mí.
Sin reflectores encendidos
Porque tú siempre piensas que puedes hacerlo mejor, mejor, mejor

Pero, ¿me llamarás cuando sea famoso?
Cuando sea famoso
¿Podrás decir mi nombre?
¿Llamarás cuando sea famoso?
Cuando sea famoso
¿Dirás mi nombre?
Cuando sea famoso

¿Qué tiene que hacer un hombre para hacerte feliz?
¿Todo esto es acerca de fama y fortuna?
¿Podría importarte si ellos gritan mi nombre?
Si lo hicieran, yo seguiría sintiendo lo mismo

He estado aquí todo el tiempo
Cuando esto llegó para ti y para mí
Sin reflectores encendidos
Porque tú siempre piensas que puedes hacerlo mejor, mejor, mejor.

Pero, ¿me llamarás cuando sea famoso?
Cuando sea famoso
¿Podrías decir mi nombre?
¿Llamarás cuando sea famoso?
Cuando sea famoso
¿Dirás mi nombre?
Cuando sea famoso…

Si te dijera honestamente
Honestamente, no lo creo
Tú quieres tener los anillos de diamante
Cosas que sólo se desvanecen al terminar la noche
Preferiría que tú y yo
Vivamos otro sueño
Hacer de esto una realidad y llenos de esperanza.

Tú no solo quieres llamarme
Cuando sea famoso
Cuando sea famoso nena
Cuando sea famoso

¿Podrás decir mi nombre?
¿Podrás decir mi nombre?
¿Podrás llamar, nena?
¿Me llamarás?
¿cuando sea famoso?

Ohhh, lo harás
¿Dirás mi nombre?
(¿Podrás decir mi nombre?)
Ohhhhh

¿Me llamarás?
¿Me llamarás?
¿Llamarás?
Di mi nombre

Ohhh nooo nooo
Realmente creo en el amor
Realmente creo que el amor no muere
Y esto solo puede mejorar, mejorar, mejorar
Cuando sea famoso.
