Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me, I know it, don't need a sign
But I feel different know you don't lie
But I want attention, commitment, intertwined
What are your dreams, give me the details all in-between
Just let me know ya, we can go far
Don't turn your shoulder, get colder, keep me warm
That pulls you in for good
Can't get enough
Put your top moves on and run with it
Sweet talk that shit, so good
I can be yours
I can be yours, now
I can be yours
I can be yours, now
I can't get enough
Put your top moves on and run with it
Sweet talk that shit, so good
Tell me forever, how can you know?
It doesn't matter, see as we go
Hope is protection, saving us both
Got good intention and passion, can't run low
Don't wanna deal with all sad stuff, keeping it real
Playing pretending when it gets rough
Don't want us ending
We're mending, shake it off
Sweeter than love is the taste of all those promises
That pulls you in for good
Can't get enough
Put your top moves on and run with it
Sweet talk that shit, so good
I can be yours
I can be yours, now
I can be yours

Sweet talk my heart, now
In "Sweettalk My Heart," Tove Lo sings about wanting more attention and commitment from someone she loves. She doesn't need to hear the words "I love you" or have any signs of affection to know how they feel, but she wants to feel intertwined with their commitment. She wants to know more about their dreams and details of their life together. She assures him that she can be his and wants to shake off any sad stuff that can get in the way of their love. The song is mainly about the sweet words and promises that can pull someone in and make them feel desired and loved.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Sweet talk my heart," and that it tastes sweeter than love. It's about being able to manipulate someone with kind and affectionate words, almost like a form of emotional bribery. The verse "Put your top moves on and run with it" implies that it takes effort and skill to sweet talk someone and keep their heart.
Overall, the song is about wanting an authentic connection with someone and feeling secure in their love. The sweet talk and promises can only go so far, and they both have to put in effort to keep their love alive.
