Wrong
Zayn ft. Kehlani Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, we're not
In the same place
Show me in the same light
Feels right
When we take flight
Clothes off 'cause she so soft
This ain't a fair fight, yeah
I wanna share love
Only so dry
I'll get her wetter than ever
Four letters is never the question
She likes when I'm messy
And I like when she's undressed

You're looking in the wrong place for my love
Don't think because you're with me this is real
You're looking in the wrong place for my love (my love)
Don't stop what you're doing 'cause I like that too

Here with you 'cause you got the right vibe
Seems like you probably gotta do mine
But it's gotta be the right time
We're only good for the night time
I see through your demeanor, baby I'm a pleaser
I go out my way to treat you
But I can't be a teacher
'Cause I'm a problem with problems I know who I am and I'm not
No good
You can have me tonight and ever I thought you understood
Baby some people are meant to be loved and others just naked
So take what I'm willing to give and love it or hate it

You're looking in the wrong place for my love
Don't think because you're with me this is real
You're looking in the wrong place for my love
Don't stop what you're doing 'cause I like that too

(Don't stop what you're doing)
(Don't stop what you're doing, don't stop what you're doing)

I don't, I don't really know
I don't, I don't really care
Maybe keep it on the low
With stories I don't wanna share
(Don't stop)

You're looking in the wrong place for my love
Don't think because you're with me this is real
You're looking in the wrong place for my love
Don't stop what you're doing 'cause I like that too

You're looking in the wrong place for my love
Don't think because you're with me this is real




You're looking in the wrong place for my love
Don't stop what you're doing 'cause I like that too

Overall Meaning

The song "Wrong" by Zayn ft. Kehlani portrays a non-committal relationship where both individuals are only interested in casual intimacy without any emotional attachment. The lyrics suggest that the individuals are not in the same place and the singer wants the other person to see them in the same light. The lines "Feels right when we take flight" and "Clothes off 'cause she so soft" depict a physical connection between the characters. The line "Four letters is never the question" refers to the word "love" not being used in their relationship.


The chorus consists of the singer warning the other person that they won't find love with them and they are looking in the wrong place. The lines "We're only good for the nighttime" suggest that their relationship only lasts for a short time and is purely physical. The singer acknowledges that they are a problematic person and they can't be a teacher, meaning they can't teach the other person what love is or how to love. The lines "Baby, some people are meant to be loved and others just naked, so take what I'm willing to give and love it or hate it" further emphasize the non-committal nature of their relationship.


The song clearly describes a relationship without any emotional ties and the individuals are only interested in the physical aspect. Despite the laid-back atmosphere of the song, the lyrics give an insightful perspective on modern-day relationships.


Line by Line Meaning

Oh, we're not
We are not in the same place emotionally or mentally


In the same place
Our minds and hearts are in different places


Show me in the same light
Reveal yourself to me authentically


Feels right
Our connection feels natural and right


When we take flight
When we are together, it feels like we are soaring


Clothes off 'cause she so soft
We are physically intimate because she is gentle and soft


This ain't a fair fight, yeah
Our physical attraction is imbalanced and one-sided


I wanna share love
I want to experience love with you


Only so dry
Our emotional connection is limited


I'll get her wetter than ever
I can give her a deeper emotional connection than she has experienced before


Four letters is never the question
Love is not a simple or easy emotion


She likes when I'm messy
She enjoys my imperfections and flaws


And I like when she's undressed
I find her vulnerability and openness attractive


You're looking in the wrong place for my love
You are searching for love from me in the wrong way or in the wrong place


Don't think because you're with me this is real
Just because we are together doesn't mean our connection is authentic or long-lasting


Don't stop what you're doing 'cause I like that too
Keep doing what you're doing because I am enjoying our physical attraction


Here with you 'cause you got the right vibe
I am attracted to your energy and personality


Seems like you probably gotta do mine
You seem to have your life together and I want you to help me navigate mine


But it's gotta be the right time
We both need to be ready for a deeper connection


We're only good for the night time
Our connection may only be temporary or not long-lasting


I see through your demeanor, baby I'm a pleaser
I can see past your facade and I want to please you


I go out my way to treat you
I make an effort to show you love and care


But I can't be a teacher
I am not equipped to solve all of your problems


'Cause I'm a problem with problems I know who I am and I'm not
I have my own issues and I am aware of who I am


No good
I am not perfect


You can have me tonight and ever I thought you understood
You can have a physical connection with me tonight, but don't expect it to be more than that


Baby some people are meant to be loved and others just naked
Some connections are deeper and more meaningful than others


So take what I'm willing to give and love it or hate it
Take what I am offering you and either accept it or reject it


I don't, I don't really know
I am uncertain about our connection


I don't, I don't really care
I am indifferent about our connection


Maybe keep it on the low
We should keep our connection private


With stories I don't wanna share
There are parts of myself that I am not ready to open up about

[Verse 1: ZAYN]
Oh, we're not on the same place
Show me in the same light
Feels right when we take flight
Clothes off 'cause she's so soft
This ain’t a fair fight
I wanna shed light on the subject
I'll get her wetter than ever
Four letters are never the question
She likes when I’m messy
And I like when she’s undressing

[Chorus: ZAYN]
You’re looking in the wrong place for my love
Don’t think because you’re with me this is real
You’re looking in the wrong place for my love
Don’t stop what you're doing 'cause I like how you're doing it

[Verse 2: Kehlani]
Here with you 'cause you got the right vibe
Seems like you probably got a dope mind
But it’s gotta be the right time
We're only good for the night time
I see through your demeanor
Baby, I’m a pleaser
I go out my way to treat you
But I can’t be a teacher
'Cause I’m a problem with problems
I know who I am and I’m not no good
You can have me tonight or never, I thought you understood
Baby, some people are meant to be loved and others just make it
So take what I'm willing to give, love it or hate it
[Chorus: ZAYN & Kehlani]
You’re looking in the wrong place for my love
Don’t think because you’re with me this is real
You’re looking in the wrong place for my love
Don’t stop what you're doing 'cause I like how you're doing it

[Bridge: ZAYN & Kehlani]
I don't, I don't really know
I don't, I don't really care
Maybe keep it on the low
Stories that I don't wanna share
(Don't stop)

[Chorus: ZAYN & Kehlani]
You’re looking in the wrong place for my love
Don’t think because you’re with me this is real
You’re looking in the wrong place for my love
Don’t stop what you're doing 'cause I like how you're doing it
You’re looking in the wrong place for my love
Don’t think because you’re with me this is real
You’re looking in the wrong place for my love
Don’t stop what you're doing 'cause I like how you're doing it

@blubabie2524

Eliz B ikr well i feel same. I'm like wait she said make it not naked lol

@TaylorSteinbruckner

I’m actually shook that I’m learning some of the proper lyrics now. Like I thought it was “oh you and I, on the same night, show me in the same light...”, “Let me take flight,” “Gloves off, yours are so soft,” “I wanna shella, we’ll be so jank,” “She likes when I’m messy and I like when she’s undressed,” and “Don’t stop what you’re doing, ‘cause I like that too...”

I was wayyy off. 😂😂 And I always kinda mumbled Kehlani’s but anyway.
