AUTOMATIC
Zhu feat. AlunaGeorge 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 song "Automatic" by Zhu feat. AlunaGeorge talks about the overwhelming feeling of instant attraction to someone. The first verse points out the irony of some people who work too hard to create friction in their relationship - trying to make things happen organically, while the second verse indicates that although the singer knows the other person wants more from them, they don't want to give everything they have at once.


The chorus emphasises the idea that the connection between the two people is spontaneous and effortless - it is automatic. The line "No one can love the way you do" highlights the uniqueness of that particular person's love. The bridge in the song, when Zhu repeats "Huh, higher," adds to the growing sense of urgency and intensity of emotions.


The song's theme may appear straightforward, but it accurately captures the unpredictability of falling in love, and how inexplicable and unique each relationship is. Overall, "Automatic" is a beautiful and finely crafted production that highlights the strengths of both the artist and the lyricist.
