wHo
Zayn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you're standing in the dark
And you struggle to find the light
When you just try to find your way
But you just can't find the time
I'll come for you
You know that I'll save you

Who you gonna call, gonna call?
Who you gonna call, gonna call?
When you need somebody
When you need someone
Who you gonna call, gonna call?
Who you gonna call, gonna call?
When you need somebody
When you need someone

When you need somebody
When you need someone
When you need somebody
When you need someone

When the water's just too deep
Getting chased by the shark
When the pressure's just too much
And you feel it in your heart
I'll come for you
You know that I'll save you

Who you gonna call, gonna call?
Who you gonna call, gonna call?
When you need somebody
When you need someone
Who you gonna call, gonna call?
Who you gonna call, gonna call?
When you need somebody
When you need someone

(Need somebody) when you need somebody
(Need somebody) when you need someone
When you need somebody
When you need someone

And who's right?
Let me know
I'll be there
I'll be close
It's your fear
That we won't
If this dies
Be my ghost

Who you gonna call, gonna call?
Who you gonna call, gonna call?
When you need somebody
When you need someone
Who you gonna call, gonna call?
Who you gonna call, gonna call?
When you need somebody
When you need someone

Who you gonna call, gonna call?
Who you gonna call, gonna call?
When you need somebody
When you need someone

When you need somebody
When you need someone




When you need somebody
When you need someone

Overall Meaning

Zayn's "wHo" appears to be a song about being there for someone when they need you the most. It seems to be about being that one person who can always come through for them, even when others can't or won't. The chorus consists of the repeated question, "Who you gonna call, gonna call?" which suggests that, in moments of need, the singer is the one that the listener should reach out to.


The verse about standing in the dark and struggling to find the light might represent emotional turmoil or difficult times, and the chorus acts as a reminder that the singer will be there to offer support. The lines about water being too deep and being chased by a shark could also be seen as symbols of hardship or danger, and once again, the singer assures the listener that they will be there to help. The lyrics culminate in the final verse, which suggests that fear may be what holds people back, but the singer is willing to stick around even if the relationship ends ("be my ghost").


In summary, "wHo" is a song that encourages its listeners to rely on the singer for help when they need it most, even in the midst of fear or danger.
