Never Loved Before

Chase Wright's song "Never Loved Before" delves into the profound realization of what true love feels like. The lyrics reflect a journey of self-discovery and emotional growth, where the protagonist acknowledges that their previous understanding of love was superficial and incomplete. The song begins with the protagonist admitting to casually using the word 'forever' and making promises that never felt quite right. This sets the stage for a narrative about the disillusionment with past relationships and the loneliness that followed.

The turning point in the song is marked by the arrival of a new person who changes everything. The protagonist confesses that they thought they knew what love was until this new relationship made them question their previous experiences. This new love is so profound and transformative that it makes the protagonist realize they had never truly loved before. The lyrics emphasize the depth and authenticity of this newfound love, contrasting it with the fleeting and insincere emotions of the past.

The song also touches on the common societal belief that 'you know when you know' when it comes to love. The protagonist admits to having been told this all their life but never truly understanding it until now. This realization is a powerful moment of clarity, as the protagonist acknowledges that they had been fooling themselves in past relationships. The song concludes with a sense of completeness and fulfillment that the protagonist had never experienced before, highlighting the transformative power of true love.
