Automatic
ZHU Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, some people take it far
You need friction, but they try too hard and
Oh, they just don't understand
Too much pressure, it's supply demand

I don't think you know
You open up my eyes, I'm alive
I'm moving to your rhythm and your vibe
I love it when the night gets started

Oh darling you are the only one, it's automatic
No one can love the way you do, it's automatic
When you walk in the room you change my mood, it's automatic
It's automatic, it's automatic
Oh darling you are the only one, it's automatic
No one can love the way you do, it's automatic
When you walk in the room you change my mood, it's automatic
It's automatic, it's automatic

Oh, the place that needs my touch
I know you want it, but I can't give too much
So, intoxicated baby
You're in trouble, but you don't need no saving

I don't think you know
You open up my eyes, I'm alive
I'm moving to your rhythm and your vibe
I love it when the night gets started

Oh darling you are the only one, it's automatic
No one can love the way you do, it's automatic
When you walk in the room you change my mood, it's automatic
It's automatic, it's automatic
Oh darling you are the only one, it's automatic
No one can love the way you do, it's automatic
When you walk in the room you change my mood, it's automatic
It's automatic, it's automatic

Huh, higher
Huh, higher
Huh, higher
Huh, higher

Huh, higher
Huh, higher
Huh, higher
Huh, higher

Baby boy, won't you come closer
Baby boy, won't you get closer, to me

It's automatic, it's automatic




It's automatic, it's automatic
It's automatic, it's automatic

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Zhu and AlunaGeorge's song "Automatic" convey a message about the importance of balance in relationships. The opening lines allude to people who try too hard to make relationships work, putting too much pressure on themselves and their partners. The lyrics suggest that love should be effortless and automatic, exemplified by the person who walks into the room and changes the singer's mood. The lyrics also speak to the intoxicating feeling that love can bring, but cautioning that it's important not to give too much too soon. The chorus repeats the idea that the love of the person in question is automatic, and no one else can love in the same way.


The song's upbeat tempo and danceable rhythm support the message of effortless love, creating a vibe that encourages movement and enjoyment. AlunaGeorge's soulful voice adds a layer of emotion to the lyrics. The repetition of "it's automatic" throughout the song is catchy, further driving home the message of automatic and easy love.
