Background and Release[]
The title of the track and its release date was announced alongside a snippet of the song on October 19, 2020.[1]
On Apple Music, Jade said “There are a few songs on this album that are quite bass-heavy. For this one, Leigh-Anne and I, when we were in LA, did a few sessions with [US singer-songwriter] Tayla Parx, who did ‘7 rings’ with Ariana Grande and some massive bangers in the US. She played us this, which she’d done with [British singer, songwriter, and producer] MNEK, who we work with a lot, and we were singing it for days after. The song tells a story as well—to me, it’s like the big sister to ‘Touch.’” Leigh-Anne said “With that beat dropping in the chorus, I was like, ‘Okay, I’m sold. This is it!’ It’s a banger!”
Lyrics[]
Jesy:
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-roo-doo-doo, doo-roo-doo-roo
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-roo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Jade:
In a whole other life, there was this boy that I knew
He made me feel like a woman, we were young and silly fools
Anyway he was in a band, wrote love songs about me
I wasn't crazy 'bout the words, but the melodies were sweet
Went something like
Jesy:
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-roo-doo-doo, doo-roo-doo-roo
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-roo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Every time we'd go dancing, I'd see his straying eyes
Gave him too many chances, push my gears too many times
Anyway he start acting up, then I'll be on my way to leave
But I stopped in the tracks when I heard this melody
Leigh-Anne:
And it went like
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-roo-doo-doo, doo-roo-doo-roo
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-roo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Little Mix:
He used to sing me sweet melodies
He played me, made me believe it was real love
Sang me sweet melodies
But the day he did me wrong
The song couldn't go on and on and on
He used to sing me sweet melodies
He played me, made me believe it was real love
Sang me sweet melodies
But the day he did me wrong
The song couldn't go on and on and on
Perrie:
He would lie, he would cheat, over syncopated beats
I was just his tiny dancer, he had (with Leigh-Anne: control over my feet)
Yes when he came along, that's when I lost a groove
There was no song in the world
(with Jesy: To sing along or make me move)
Sounded something like
Jesy (Perrie):
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-roo-doo-doo, doo-roo-doo-roo (It was)
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo (Oh)
Doo-roo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Little Mix:
He used to sing me sweet melodies (Perrie: Oh woah)
He played me, made me believe it was real love
Sang me sweet melodies
But the day he did me wrong (Jade: ah yeah)
The song couldn't go on and on and on (Jesy: Couldn't go on, no)
He used to sing me sweet melodies (Jesy: Sweet, sweet melodies)
He played me, made me believe it was real love
Sang me sweet melodies
But the day he did me wrong (Jade: Me wrong)
The song couldn't go on and on and on (Jade: On and on and on)
Jesy:
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-roo-doo-doo, doo-roo-doo-roo (Jade: Eh eh)(Jesy: Oooh)
