The night I laid my eyes on you
Felt everything around me move
Got nervous when you looked my way
But you knew all the words to say
Then your love slowly moved right in
All this time, oh my love where you been

Mi amore, don't you know
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet

I'm mesmerized in every way
You keep me in a state of daze
You're kisses make my skin feel weak
I'm always melting in your heat
Then I soar like a bird in the wind
Oh, I glide as I'm flying through heaven

Mi amore, don't you know
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet

Mi amore, don't you know
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet

Since we connect behind closed doors
Spark this fire even more
No telling where we will be next
Surrender to your rapture arrest
Lay your head, let the slumber float
Can't resist, that's why words were wrote

Mi amore, don't you know
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet

Mi amore, don't you know
My love, I want you so, yeah
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet

Mi amore, don't you know
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet

Mi amore, don't you know
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet





Mi amore, don't you know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to iio's song "Rapture" describe the experience of falling in love and being completely entranced by someone. The repetition of "la" throughout the song serves to accentuate the hypnotic nature of the love being described. The singer describes feeling nervous and enamored when they first see the object of their affection, and then eventually surrendering completely to the rapture of love. The chorus repeats the phrase "Mi amore, don't you know / My love, I want you so / Sugar, you make my soul complete / Rapture tastes so sweet," emphasizing the all-consuming and addictive nature of the love being experienced.


The second verse continues the theme of being utterly captivated by the other person, with the singer describing how they are "mesmerized in every way" and how their kisses make them feel weak. The bridge of the song suggests that the love being experienced in the song is a secret affair, happening behind closed doors and leading to a sense of excitement and danger. However, the final lines suggest that the singer has surrendered fully to the "rapture" of love and cannot resist the "words [that] were wrote."

All this time, oh my love, where you been?
Mi amore, don't you know?

When this song dropped and was getting club play all the time, my high school girlfriend would always say we were gonna have Nadia Ali singing at our wedding. Came out as gay shortly after we graduated senior year, and we’ve seen Nadia sing this live many times since - but I still hope to someday attend her wedding with Nadia singing all her faves ✨

@tiagombg
