Ali Gatie was born to Iraqi parents in Yemen in 1997. His family moved to Abu Dhabi before settling in Mississauga, Ontario. He grew up listening to Ed Sheeran, J. Cole and Frank Ocean, who influenced his music.
Gatie started pursuing a music career at the age of 18 and started to record in 2016. This decision later caused him to drop out of university.[2] In 2017, he won an online RhymeStars competition hosted by Joe Budden. After releasing a string of singles in 2018, he was signed by Warner Records.[3] The song "Moonlight" would turn out to be his first commercial success, garnering nearly 14 million views on YouTube. However, the release of "It's You" in June 2019 would become his mainstream breakthrough;[4] an "explosive streaming story," as of December 2019, it had exceeded 650 million streams.[5][6] On 8 November 2019, Gatie released his first album, You. A 12-minute film accompanied the release, which included seven new songs.[7] Gatie's snippet of his next single "What If I Told You That I Love You," released on the video-sharing social networking app TikTok, went viral, amassing over 20 million engagements. Released in January 2020, the single was described by Rolling Stone as "a breezy, springtime-fresh midtempo track" and peaked at number 36 on Billboard's Hot Canadian Digital Song Sales Chart.
Say to You
Ali Gatie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What do I have to do?
I hate and love the rain
But that's just how I feel 'bout you
Some days you make me feel so happy
Some days I feel blue
You still remind me of the rain
That's why I fall for you
Don't know what to say to you, yeah yeah
Everything's okay to you, yeah yeah
Lately, you've been switching up, yeah yeah
I can't even trust your love, yeah yeah
Don't know what to say to you, yeah yeah
Everything's okay to you, yeah yeah
Lately, you've been switching up, yeah yeah
I can't even trust your love, yeah yeah
How you go with someone else?
How'd you leave me by myself?
How'd you leave me all alone? (Leave me all alone)
Yeah, you used to be my home (used to be my home girl)
I can't even lie, want you by my side
Yeah, you left me empty and it's something I can't hide
Everybody knows, they say that it shows
They know that I miss you, so I wonder how you don't?
I don't know what to feel anymore
What do I have to do?
I hate and love the rain
But that's just how I feel 'bout you
Some days you make me feel so happy
Some days I feel blue
You still remind me of the rain
That's why I fall for you
Don't know what to say to you, yeah yeah
Everything's okay to you, yeah yeah
Lately, you've been switching up, yeah yeah
I can't even trust your love, yeah yeah
Don't know what to say to you, yeah yeah
Everything's okay to you, yeah yeah
Lately, you've been switching up, yeah yeah
I can't even trust your love, yeah yeah
Trustin' what you told me and what you show me
Thought that we was homies and that you know me
Didn't think you'd play me, I thought you'd save me
Yeah, you drove me crazy, you're still my baby
After what we've been through and all the problems
I thought you would help me and we could solve 'em
Didn't think you'd play me, I thought you'd save me
Yeah, you're still my baby, you drove me crazy
Don't know what to say to you
Everything's okay to you
Lately, you've been switching up
I can't even trust your love, yeah yeah
Don't know what to say to you, yeah yeah
Everything's okay to you, yeah yeah
Lately, you've been switching up, yeah yeah
I can't even trust your love, yeah yeah
(Trust your love)
(I can't trust your love)
(I can't trust your love)
(I can't trust your love)
The song "Say to You" by Ali Gatie is a reflection of the mixed emotions that arise from a complicated love. The first verse depicts the indecisiveness and confusion that the singer feels, not knowing what to feel anymore. The rain symbolizes the singer's complex emotions - sometimes hate, sometimes love - but essentially, it signifies his feelings towards the person in question. The chorus shows the betrayal and loss of trust that the singer feels towards his lover. The switching up and the inability to trust her love has caused a rift in the relationship. Despite this, the singer still longs for his love to come back to him, but he does not know what to say to her to fix things.
The second verse delves deeper into the pain caused by the failed relationship. The singer wonders why his lover left him, given everything that they had been through. He admits that he still wants her by his side but acknowledges that she left him empty, and he cannot hide it. The bridge shows the singer's desperation, as he tries to understand why his lover played him. Despite everything, he still considers her his baby, a significant sign that he has not given up on the relationship and wants to fix it.
Overall, the song is a heartfelt plea for love and understanding in the face of relationship turmoil. It highlights the complexity of emotions that can arise from a relationship and the confusion that it brings. It is an excellent depiction of the turmoil of love and relationships that everyone can relate to, and the honesty with which Ali Gatie sings the lyrics is touching and emotional.
