RAYE has said: "This song is number one on the project. This represents shock and like denial. I wrote it when I was on tour, and I remember having a complete breakdown. And I was crying on the floor outside the tour bus. […] And yeah, Love Me Again was on the day, it was raining and I was listening to “Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit lonely”. […]
The song is about a ex boyfriend of hers who broke up with her: "Spoke to him on the phone and he said: “I just don’t think we’re right for each other”. When he said that I was like “woow”. Then, in my head it was like a phase or it’s just something and we were gonna be fine in a year. Realizing “okay, this is a break-up”.
Love Me Again

No idea, in a pool of my tears, who am I doing this for?
Ooh, yeah yeah
You ain't gonna knock on my door, uh
You made it clear that you moved on
You don't really care anymore, ooh, yeah yeah
I guess we were a little too young
We were a little too dumb
I was a little too wild, yeah
I ain't coming on home
I can't tell you I'm sorry
So I call him, and I say, yeah
"Hello, how you doing? I was wondering if
There's something I could do to make you love me again"
Love me again, love me again
Something I could do to make you love me again (yeah)
Lo-lo-lo-love me, lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love me, yeah
Lo-lo-lo-love me, love me again, yeah
Lo-lo-lo-love me, love me again
Something I could do to make you love me again
You're the only love that I know, uh
Any other hands that touched me
You make my body go cold, ooh, yeah yeah, uh
That's why my heart's so sore
You have no idea what you mean to me
I don't want to leave you alone, ooh, yeah yeah
I guess we were a little too young
I was a little too proud, yeah
We were a little too dumb
I was a little too wild, yeah
I ain't coming on home
I can't tell you I'm sorry
So I call him, and I say, yeah
"Hello, how you doing? I was wondering if
There's something I could do to make you love me again"
Love me again, love me again
Something I could do to make you love me again (yeah)
Lo-lo-lo-love me, lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love me, yeah
Lo-lo-lo-love me, love me again, yeah
Lo-lo-lo-love me, love me again
Something I could do to make you love me again
I'll keep it quick, I know you're busy
You got better things to do
But I've been trying to move on
Been failing terribly at that too
You're the only one I want
I stand stand the fact that's true
So I figured one last call
Can't hurt more than this wound
"Hello, how you doing? I was wondering if
There's something I could do to make you, I could do to make you"
Lo-lo-lo-love me, lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love me, yeah
Lo-lo-lo-love me, love me again, yeah
Lo-lo-lo-love me, love me again
Something I could do to make you love me again
The lyrics of Raye's song Love Me Again paint a picture of heartbreak and regret. The singer is lying on the bathroom floor in a pool of tears, wondering why she is doing this to herself. The pain is caused by a lost love who has moved on and made it clear that they no longer care. The singer comes to the realization that they were both too young and dumb, and she was too wild and proud to make it work. Yet, the love that they shared was the only one she knew, and any other touch makes her body go cold. Despite the fact that she cannot tell him she is sorry, she still makes one last effort to call him and ask if there is something she can do to make him love her again.
The repetition of the chorus "Something I could do to make you love me again" is reflective of the singer's desperation to find a solution to mend the relationship. The sharp "lo-lo-lo-love me" between the choruses strikes as a powerful plea for love. The lyrics are raw and honest, and they capture the complexities of a relationship that has ended.
