My love, ooo
My love

A winner never quits
And a quitter never wins
I thought about what I wanted
And you were on my list
Remember where I was?
In the desert with no love
No cactus's, just dust
And you swept me from above

My love

So I just wanna say
Thank you for this day
'Cause it is so good
Good

Honey, you got me feelin' brand new
You got me feelin' brand new
Like the tag's still on me
Got the tags still on me
Jumpin' 'round in your bag
Jumpin' 'round in your bag
So good morning, ooh girl
You are the feeling I'm jammin' to (brand new)
You are the feeling I'm jammin' to (brand new)
Like the tag's still on me
Got the tags still on me

My love, ooo
My love

Life to me is easy
People make it complicated
When love is the tool
No reason we can't make it

Come on, let's go, be brave
Feel somethin' that they'll praise
Once we know that we're made
Then give it all the way

My love

So I just wanna say
Thank you for this day
'Cause it is so good
Good

Honey, you got me feelin' brand new
You got me feelin' brand new
Like the tag's still on me
Got the tags still on me
Jumpin' 'round in your bag
Jumpin' 'round in your bag
So good morning, ooh girl
You are the feeling I'm jammin' to (brand new)
You are the feeling I'm jammin' to (brand new)
Like the tag's still on me
Got the tags still on me, oh

Listen, all my life, when I describe
What I want, I've been misunderstood
The more I try, at bein' satisfied
And didn't think that I could
But then you came along, and you made me strong
Like God said you would

So I just wanna say
Thank you for this day
'Cause it is so good
Good

Good
Honey, you got me feelin' brand new
You got me feelin' brand new
Like the tag's still on me
Got the tags still on me
Jumpin' 'round in your bag
Jumpin' 'round in your bag
So good morning, ooh girl
You are the feeling I'm jammin' to (brand new)
You are the feeling I'm jammin' to (brand new)




Like the tag's still on me
Got the tags still on me

Overall Meaning

The song "Brand New" by Pharrell Williams celebrates the transformative power of love. The first verse emphasizes the importance of perseverance and having a clear vision of what one wants in life. Pharrell is grateful that he was able to find love and be rescued from a metaphorical desert with no signs of life. The chorus is a celebration of the rejuvenating effects of being in love. The feeling of being alive, of being brand new, is conveyed through the imagery of having tags still on. The second verse suggests that life is not inherently difficult, but people complicate it with their attitudes and behaviors. Pharrell encourages bravery in the pursuit of a fulfilling life, confident that with love as the tool, anything is possible. The bridge is Pharrell’s heartfelt expression of being perfectly understood by his lover, who has given him strength and helped him find contentment in life.


The song is a classic Pharrell production, with a funk-inflected dance beat, catchy melodies, and joyful lyrics. The repetition of certain phrases, such as “My love” and “Brand new,” serves to amplify their emotional impact. Pharrell's smooth and confident delivery adds to the song’s positive and fun vibe. The song features a sample of the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" throughout the chorus, adding a touch of nostalgia to the track.
