Until I saw you with someone who is not me
You got me playing in a game that ain't fair
But you're taking me there, yeah you're taking me there
Oh, I can't help myself, it's human nature, human nature
Who's to say what's meant to be?
Oh, why can't we be on our worst behavior, worst behavior
I would like to get to know you baby
Like to get under your sexy body
I would like to get to know you baby
Like to get under your sexy body
Under your sexy body
Under your sexy body
Under your sexy body
What would you do, the way you hold it like that (like that)
Looking at me to see if I'm the get-back
Me and you boy, we gon' work tonight to leave, to leave
If you're leaving with me, leaving with me
Oh, I can't help myself, it's human nature, human nature
Who's to say what's meant to be?
Who's to say what's meant to be?
Why can't we be on our worst behavior, worst behavior
When it all comes naturally
I would like to get to know you baby
Like to get under your sexy body
I would like to get to know you baby
Like to get under your sexy body
Under your sexy body

“I Would Like” is a hit song by Swedish pop singer Zara Larsson. At first listen, the song is about a girl who desires a boy who is already in a relationship. She didn’t realize the depth of her feelings until she saw him with someone else (lines 1-2). The boy has her wrapped around his finger and while she knows their “game” isn’t fair, she can’t help but be drawn to him (lines 3-4). The chorus acknowledges that she can’t control her attraction to him, as it’s “human nature” and despairs at the possibility that they may never be together, questioning who decides one’s fate (lines 9-10).
The second verse expands on their chemistry, with the girl admiring the way he’s holding himself and daringly flirting with her (lines 13-14). She knows that they would have a good time together and wants to leave with him (lines 15-16). The pre-chorus and chorus repeat, asserting the girl’s desire to get to know the boy and explore their chemistry (lines 21-26). The chorus also introduces the song’s titular line, expressing her desire to “get under [his] sexy body.” In the bridge, the girl switches from waiting for the boy to come to her to requesting that he “come take [her] under now” and daring him to “go there” (lines 31-34).
Overall, the song is about a girl who can’t resist the pull of chemistry, as she gives into desires that go against her better judgment. She knows that it may not be what’s best for her, but can’t help but desire the boy anyway. The song’s upbeat melody and catchy lyrics make it a club favorite, but the message is a toxic one that encourages bad decisions, particularly the jealousy and desire for another’s partner.
