Can't Buy Love
Robin Schulz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trapper of the year and my heart got broken
Wiping my tears with a brand new Rolex
Money coming in, my heart got stolen
Had to go and get the AP frozen
Trapper of the year and my heart got broken
Money coming in, my heart got stolen
Had to go and get the AP frozen
I can't buy love
I can't buy love
I can't buy love
Had to go and get the AP frozen
I can't buy love
I can't buy love
I can't buy love
Had to go and get the AP frozen
(Trapper of the year and my heart got broken
Wiping my tears with a brand new Rolex
Money coming in, my heart got stolen
Had to go and get the AP frozen)
Driving in the rain and I crash the foreign
Wearing six rings like I'm Micheal Jordan
Money in the safe and it's talking dirty
Shorty left me and it really hurt me
I got my grill in, I'm in my feelings
Whole lotta gang shit, I miss my main chick
I got my grill in, I'm in my feelings
Whole lotta gang shit, I miss my main chick
Trapper of the year and my heart got broken
Wiping my tears with a brand new Rolex
Money coming in, my heart got stolen
Had to go and get the AP frozen
Trapper of the year and my heart got broken
Wiping my tears with a brand new Rolex
Money coming in, my heart got stolen
Had to go and get the AP frozen
I can't buy love
I can't buy love
I can't buy love
Had to go and get the AP frozen
I can't buy love
I can't buy love
I can't buy love
Had to go and get the AP frozen
I got my grill in, I'm in my feelings
Whole lotta gang shit, I miss my main chick
I got my grill in, I'm in my feelings
Whole lotta gang shit, I miss my main chick
Trapper of the year and my heart got bro-bro
Wiping my tears with a brand new Rolex
Money coming in, my heart got stolen
Had to go and get the AP frozen
Trapper of the year and my heart got broken
Wiping my tears with a brand new Rolex
Money coming in, my heart got stolen
Had to go and get the AP frozen
I can't buy love
I can't buy love
I can't buy love
Had to go and get the AP frozen
I can't buy love
I can't buy love
I can't buy love
Had to go and get the AP frozen
The lyrics to Robin Schulz's song Can't Buy Love follows a familiar narrative of a person trying to cope with a broken heart by buying material possessions. The first verse introduces Baby E as the featured artist on the track, and he sets the stage by announcing his status as "Trapper of the year" and revealing that he's recently had his heart broken. He sings about how he's been spending money on expensive items like a new Rolex to wipe away his tears and how his heart was then stolen by someone else. The line "Had to go and get the AP frozen" refers to him getting an Audemars Piguet watch, a high-end luxury item, as a way to cope with this heartbreak.
The chorus, "I can't buy love," emphasizes the central theme of the song. The repetition of this line highlights how the buying of material possessions is not a substitute for true love and relationships.
In the second verse, Baby E sings about driving in the rain and crashing his car because of his emotional state. He's wearing six rings, a reference to the NBA legend Michael Jordan, and has money in the safe that's "talking dirty," meaning it's causing him stress or anxiety. He laments the loss of his "main chick" and expresses how he's in his feelings, surrounded by his gang, and missing her.
Overall, the song's lyrics explore the familiar trope of buying expensive items to fill an emotional void caused by heartbreak. However, as the title suggests, these items cannot buy love, and the singer is ultimately left feeling empty despite his wealth.

bullshitting… modern music is with voice and lyrics which is in a certain language that you either understand or not. and music itself doesn’t convey any real information, only emotion at most.
