Wherever You Are
Sam Tsui Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somebody somewhere's always dancing their heart out
All around the world
It may be noon but you can dance like it's dark out
Oh, how many nights have you spent in your bedroom
Oh, singing every word to the song in your headphones
Oh, you got a private party going on when you're alone
We don't need to be together to get it started
Throw your hands in the air no matter where you are, babe
Just feel the music so you can join the party
Wherever you are, wherever you are
Oh, wherever you are
Oh, where-wherever you are
Oh, wherever you, wherever you are, wherever you are
All around the world
Somebody somewhere's always waking the neighbors
All around the world
A thousand miles away we're singing the same words
Oh, how many times have you tuned up your headphones
Oh, jumping up and down like you're there in the front row
Oh, you got a private party going on when you're alone
But when you're alone, just know
We don't need to be together to get it started
Throw your hands in the air no matter where you are, babe
Just feel the music so you can join the party
Wherever you are, wherever you are
Oh, wherever you are
Oh, where-wherever you are
Oh, wherever you, wherever you are, wherever you are
Wherever you go, you don't have to be alone
Wherever you are, just know, just know, just know
Wherever you go, you don't have to be alone
Wherever you are, wherever you are
We don't need to be together to get it started
Throw your hands in the air no matter where you are, babe
Just feel the music so you can join the party
Wherever you are, wherever you are
Oh, wherever you are
Oh, where-wherever you are
Oh, wherever you, wherever you are, wherever you are
Oh, wherever you are, wherever you are
Sam Tsui's song "Wherever You Are" is about the power of music to bring people together no matter where they are in the world. The lyrics describe how music can make people feel connected even when they are alone, whether they are singing along to a favorite song in their bedroom or dancing in the streets with strangers. The song suggests that music can create a sense of community that transcends boundaries and unites people across distance and difference.
The line "throw your hands in the air no matter where you are" is a powerful image of people coming together to celebrate music despite their physical separation. The song encourages listeners to feel the music and join the party, suggesting that the act of dancing and enjoying music can be a way to connect with others and feel less alone in the world. The repetition of the phrase "wherever you are" throughout the song reinforces this message of inclusivity and the power of music to reach people anywhere in the world.
