I'm Ready
Sam Smith & Demi Lovato Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been waitin' patiently for a beautiful lover
He's not a cheater, a believer
He's a warm, warm blooded achiever
It's a lonely night in my bed in the heat of the summer, uh
It's so hard when you're with someone
Your heart breaks and it ain't no fun
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready, I'm ready
For someone to love me (for someone to love me)
I'm ready (I'm ready)
I'm ready (I'm ready)
I'm ready (I'm ready)
I'm ready (I'm ready)
For someone to love me
For someone to love me
Ooh yeah
It's a hot night in my head in the chill of the winter
No, I've been lookin' hard for a lover disguised as a sinner
No, not a cheater, a redeemer
He's a cold, cold blooded defeater
It's a hot night in my head in the chill of the winter, no
It's so hard when you're with someone
Your heart breaks and it ain't no fun
But I gotta take that risk tonight
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready, I'm ready
For someone to love me (for someone to love me)
I'm ready (I'm ready)
I'm ready (I'm ready)
I'm ready (I'm ready)
I'm ready (I'm ready)
For someone to love me
For someone to love me, yeah
(I'm ready)
(I'm ready)
(I'm ready)
(I'm ready)
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
It's a cold night in my bed in the heat of the summer
No, I've been lookin' hard for a lover disguised as a sinner
I'm ready (I'm ready)
I'm ready (I'm ready)
I'm ready (I'm ready)
I'm ready (I'm ready)
For someone to love me (for someone to love me)
I'm ready (I'm ready)
I'm ready (I'm ready)
I'm ready (I'm ready)
I'm ready (I'm ready)
For someone to love me
For someone to love me
The song "I'm Ready" by Sam Smith is all about the longing for love and companionship. The opening lines of the song state that it's a cold night in bed during the heat of the summer, which is a direct contradiction. This highlights that the artist is experiencing an internal conflict that juxtaposes the external environment. The use of temperature as a contrast, between the heat of the summer and the cold in the bed, sets the tone for the whole song. The energy of the song radiates with the singer's desperation to find his true love.
The singer feels lonely at night and wants someone to share the bed with. The lyrics focused on how hard it is to be with the wrong person and then introduces the idea of the artist needing to take a significant risk to find someone to love him. The second verse of the song describes the artist's search for the perfect lover disguised as a sinner, which is an enticing concept. Someone who may not necessarily seem perfect but has the potential to be the perfect match for the artist.
The chorus is simple yet powerful, reflecting the artist's readiness for a partner. The repeated lines of "I'm ready" signify the artist's determination to find someone to love, leaving no room for ambiguity. The lyrics of the song capture the essence of the artist's longing for a romantic partner, resonating with many people who seek companionship.

Demi and I are so excited to share this song with you. I’ve never had so much fun creating and releasing a single before, it was amazing to work with Demi and all the amazing writers in the studio through to creating our very own queer Olympics for the video. We created the song surrounded by love and happiness and the outcome feels incredibly powerful so I hope that right now, in this unsettling and sad time, this makes you smile. Sing it with us from the top of your voice! xx

Thanks for everything!!!
@christinuh
the lyrics are UNBELIVABLE. going from "it's a cold night in my bed in the heat of the summer", to "it's a hot night in my head in the chill of the winter". or "he's a warm, warm blooded achiever" and "he's a cold, cold blooded defeater". these perspectives are sung almost in opposites, yet they counteract/connect so well to one another.
@mikelspotwood
Christina Doan agreed
@jasonzul832
Yeah I love them, I believe they’re called oxymorons
@angelosvlahos
That's what happens when you're an artist who can both sing and write their own songs
