Caught Up Lyrics
Oh, oh (Oh)
Oh, oh (Oh)
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Chorus: Majid Al Maskati & Khalid]
How many wrongs can I right?
How many? (How many?)
How many wrongs in a night? (How?)
How many wrongs in a night, oh (How many?)
Ooh, caught up in L.A., yeah, yeah, yeah
Caught up in a race, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Majid Al Maskati]
I'm tryna keep faith
Tryna stay real not fake, man
Caught up in L.A. yeah, yeah
Get the Louis from the Louis store straight
Packin' it up, sendin' it to your place
Callin' you up just so I can touch base
I hate how you're so far away
Nobody's perfect, I've made my mistakes
Nobody's perfect, I learned the hard way
I wish you could be here, I miss your embrace
Can't wait to hold you this time
Can't wait, I told you I can't wait
You make me feel like I can't lose
Yeah, that's right I wanna get to you
You're all I believe in
I wanna show you everything
You're my strength, not my weakness
Yeah, your secrets are safe
Just like your heart is
But I'm caught up in L.A. like a movie
Stuck here on replay, want you on repeat
When you come to see me, yeah
How many wrongs can I right? (How many?)
How many songs can I write? (Too many)
How many blunts can I smoke in a night (In a night, no)
How many?
[Verse 2: Khalid]
How many blunts can I smoke in a night?
Blowing O's underneath the moonlight
Not a lot of things that I won't try
I just bought a Rolls that I don't even drive
Interior red, outside white
Been a hell of a year, yeah, yeah
Fuck up a bag, make the money disappear, yeah
Work it, worth it
Bodies hangin' from the chandelier, yeah, yeah
Now I'm caught up in L.A
Picking you up, take an Uber to your place
Pulled up just so I could show face
But I can't go to the club 'cause it's too industry, yeah, yeah
Used to drive a Chevrolet
Now my car so nice, that I got a valet
What more do I need to say?
I put on for the family
From the city of the 915
Where the girls are pretty and they know how to ride it, yeah
Autopilot, you don't even gotta drive it, yeah, ayy
Caught up in L.A. yeah, ayy, ayy (Ayy, ayy)
Caught up in L.A. yeah, yeah
Caught up in L.A
How many wrongs can I right? (Caught up in L.A., yeah)
How many songs can I write? (Too many)
How many drinks can I pour in a night?
[Bridge: Majid Al Maskati]
How many?
How many wrongs can I right?
How many wrongs in a night?
How many wrongs can I right?
How many?
How many?
[Outro: Majid Al Maskati]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
About
OVO Sound’s Majid Jordan are back with new music and a stunning video for “Caught Up” feat. Khalid.
Last week Khalid teased a collaboration with OVO’s Majid Jordan with one simple tweet detailing how he “can’t wait.” Now just seven days later, the single is finally here. The song is an expected offering and vibe from Majid Al Maskati and Jordan Ullman – a steady low tempo vocal coming from Majid with the Jordan-finessed production.
Khalid comes in perfectly, with lyrical content about getting caught up in the fast life of Los Angeles and buying nice cars that don’t even get driven.

Asked about this point in an interview with GQ UK, Majid answered:
We started making “Caught Up” while we were in LA, working at this studio that we use all the time, just coming up with general ideas. We made it late one night talking about being far away [from home] in LA, feeling isolated, and caught up in all the work we’re doing. Khalid heard that base idea and it sparked something inside of him that made him want to speak his mind about how quick his career took off and where he is right now in his life.
In an interview with GQ UK, Majid declared:
We were playing Khalid a bunch of music after his show in Toronto. When he heard it, it was the three of us in the green room with Khalid’s engineer and he recorded us live off the floor in the room. After that we finished it together in Khalid’s hotel room. It wasn’t like we really had time to write anything, we were free-styling melodies and ideas and just laying down vocals right there.
Khalid shared a promotional tweet, with the text “Soon. @majidjordan, can’t wait”, on July 16, 2019.
