LOVE Lyrics

[Intro]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love
La-la, la-la, la, love, yeah

[Verse 1]
Look how the sun is shining
Over everything, it seems
Very accepting of me
Even when I don't believe

[Pre-Chorus]
Love
Still got love
You better show me some love
Now we are growing in love, yeah

[Chorus]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love
La-la, la-la, la, love, yeah

[Verse 2]
Look down, standing on my feet
Over hills and valley peaks
Veering right until I meet
Everything I’m meant to be
[Pre-Chorus]
Love
Still got love
You better show me some love
Now we are growing in love (Yeah)

[Chorus]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love (Love)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love
La-la, la-la, la, love (Ohh)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love (Love)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love (Love)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love
La-la, la-la, la, love (Love)

[Verse 3]
I feel it deep in my soul (Soul)
Whenever I'm feeling low (Low)
Anytime there is a void (Void)
I choose to fill it with joy

[Bridge]
Uh-huh (Uh-huh), aw, yeah
I love (I love), I care
Alright (Alright), that's right
I’m fine
[Verse 4]
I'm not bossy, I'm the boss
You know I could set it off
But I'd rather use my heart
When I put my faith in God
Nothing bothers me at all
I am more than my emotions
I know I am in control when
I am living in the moment
Dedicated and devoted
Praying often, staying open
To more love, love

[Chorus]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love (Love)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love (Ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love (Ooh-ooh)
La-la, la-la, la, love (La-la-la-la-la, love)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love (Love)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love (Love)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love
La-la, la-la, la, love (Love)

What did Jhené Aiko say about "LOVE"?
Genius Answer

Back on May 12 of 2019, Jhené Aiko revealed the existence of the song while answering questions from fans on her Instagram Stories.

Then, the singer also told on Twitter that she wanted to include her daughter, Namiko, on it, since her last name was the title like she did on her previous albums, Trip & Souled Out, with “Sing To Me” & “Promises”, but Love declined it.

However, this didn’t stop Jhené from sampling “Promises”, which features Namiko, on “Magic Hour”, another track from Chilombo.

As to some fun facts, Aiko shared through her social media that she originally freestyled everything while staring at the ocean, “smiling face with heart-shaped eyes” and that every single line in the first two verses begins with the initial of the word “Love”.
