Why Don't We Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gotta place that we can go and ease your stress away
A couple times I came around and you was M.I.A
It's kinda hard to be in love when we're in different states
Feel some type of way
I ain't tryna play
You got options, I got options but you're here with me
Now I'm here to stay
Life ain't stoppin', girl, what's poppin'? What's it gonna be?
Choose, I'm just sayin', what you wanna do?
Choose, I just dropped down in your city to
Choose, let me put you onto something new
Choose, ain't no tellin' what we get into
I'm ju- I'm ju- I'm just sayin', choose (choose)
I'm ju- I'm ju- I'm just sayin', choose
So what, you stayin' or comin'?
It shouldn't be a discussion
All of these girls, we runnin' around
And I still be craving your love
Center stage, no bluffin'
Interstate we buzzin'
Touchdown, now takin' off, so what, you all or nothing?
Feel some type of way
I ain't tryna play
You got options, I got options but you're here with me
Spend some time away
Now I'm here to stay
Life ain't stoppin', girl, what's poppin'? What's it gonna be?
Choose, I'm just sayin', what you wanna do?
Choose, I just dropped down in your city to
Choose, let me put you onto something new
Choose, ain't no tellin' what we get into
I'm ju- I'm ju- I'm just sayin', choose
I'm ju- I'm ju- I'm just sayin', choose
'Cause you got it, I want it, no time to waste
I got what you want so come here to me
'Cause you got it, I want it, no time to waste
I got what you want so come here to me
Choose, I'm just sayin', what you wanna do?
Choose, I just dropped down in your city to
Choose, let me put you onto something new
Choose, ain't no tellin' what we get into
I'm ju- I'm ju- I'm just sayin', choose
I'm ju- I'm ju- I'm just sayin', choose
I'm ju- I'm ju- I'm just sayin', choose
I'm ju- I'm ju- I'm just sayin', choose (choose, choose)
The lyrics to Why Don't We's song Choose suggest someone who is trying to convince their partner to choose them over anyone else. The singer explains that they have a place where the two of them can go to ease the other's stress away. However, it seems that the partner is not fully committed to the relationship, as they are M.I.A. when the singer comes around. Despite this, the singer has strong feelings for their partner and wants to be with them. They ask their partner what they want to do - stay with them or not.
The chorus repeats the word "choose" multiple times, emphasizing the singer's desire for their partner to make a decision. They suggest that there are plenty of other options out there for both of them, but they are choosing to be with each other in the moment. The bridge of the song confirms the singer's dedication to their partner, who they are willing to drop everything for and be with.
Overall, the song seems to be about convincing someone to choose love despite the other options that may be present. The singer wants their partner to commit to them fully, and they are willing to do the same. Though the lyrics are simple, they capture the uncertainty and frustration that can come with trying to convince someone to love you back.
