The lyrics of “Love Galore” by SZA and Travis Scott is about a casual relationship that turned into something deeper which resulted in the struggles and uncertainty of love. At the beginning of the song, SZA expresses her need for love, which is emphasized with the continuous repetitions of “I need.” However, as the song progresses, she reveals her dissatisfaction with casual relationships and her desire for commitment. She sings about her past relationships, her regrets, and her observations of the people around her. She questions her lover’s intentions and commitment and her own feelings for him.
The overall message of the song seems to be about the complexities of love and relationships, as well as the consequences of casual relationships. It’s about how easy it is to fall into a casual relationship that slowly but surely begins to become something more serious, which can be overwhelming and confusing. The song highlights how easily one can get lost in the moment and make decisions based on those rash feelings.
