What U Want Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't help but want you
I can't help but need you
To stay in bed with me
I can't help but want you
I wanna listen to you
Oh the way, oh you talk to me

[Pre-Chorus]
You say dime que me quieres
Dime que me adoras
Que no quieres vivir sin mi

[Chorus]
Aqui con mi corazón
Quedate aqui
Mi amor
Is it over? Can we have more time?
Aqui con mi corazón
Quedate aqui
Mi amor
Is it over? Can we have more time?

[Pre-Chorus]
You say dime que me quieres
Dime que me adoras
Que no quiеres vivir sin mi
[Pre-Chorus]
You say dime que mе quieres
Dime que me adoras
Que siempre me quieres así

[Bridge]
Baby, don't let go, again
Oh no, baby

[Chorus]
Aqui con mi corazón
Quedate aqui
Mi amor
Is it over? Can we have more time?
Aqui con mi corazón
Quedate aqui
Mi amor
Is it over? Can we have more time?

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

What U Want was heavily inspired by many of the meetings I had with major labels after Swing Lynn’s viral success. In this song, I am trying to tell myself about these meetings and how label after label turned us down for being a “non-urban Latin” act they felt they couldn’t market. The song is basically playing a joke on all of those meetings and how they made me feel. The lyrics, the tone, the sound, all of it is in an effort to give those major labels what they wanted but can’t have anymore.

Genius Answer

“What U Want” was inspired by the many label meetings I had after Swing Lynn’s viral success. In this dialogue that I am trying to have with my younger self, I use this song to communicate how we in music can’t escape our labels. That some labels actually couldn’t get past the Latin barrier. Getting told that we make “non-urban Latin” music and as a result we are harder to market. This song is making fun of those labels by making exactly the song they expected out of me.
