Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down, down
You oughta know
Tonight is the night to let it go
Put on a show
I wanna see how you lose control
So come on and fly with me as we make our great escape
So baby don't worry
You are my only
You won't be lonely
Even if the sky is falling down
You'll be my only
No need to worry
Baby are you down down down down down
Down, down
Are you down down down down down
Down, down
Just let it be
Come on and bring your body next to me
I'll take you away, hey
Turn this place into our private getaway
So leave it behind 'cause we have a night to get away
So come on and fly with me as we make our great escape
So why don't we run away
And don't worry
You'll be my only
You won't be lonely
Even if the sky is falling down
You'll be my only
No need to worry
Baby are you down down down down down
Down, down
Are you down down down down down
Down, down
Ooh
So baby don't worry
You are my only
You won't be lonely
Even if the sky is falling down
You'll be my only
No need to worry
Are you down down down down down
Down, down
If the sky is falling down
Are you down down down down
Down
The lyrics to Sam Tsui's song "Down" are all about living in the moment and not letting the stresses of life get in the way of enjoying oneself. The first few lines of the song ("Even if the sky is falling down / Down, down") suggest that the world might be ending or things might be falling apart, but despite this, the singer encourages their partner to let loose and enjoy themselves.
The second verse ("Just let it be / Come on and bring your body next to me / I'll take you away, hey") furthers this message of escapism and living in the moment. The singer wants their partner to forget about their problems and worries and just enjoy the present moment with them.
The chorus ("So baby don't worry / You are my only / You won't be lonely / Even if the sky is falling down") reinforces this message, emphasizing that the singer's partner is the most important thing in their life and that they will never feel alone or unsupported. The repetition of the phrase "down, down" throughout the song also adds to the idea of letting go and living in the moment, as if the singer is urging their partner to embrace the present and forget about everything else.
