What’s Up (feat. Jagged Edge)

DVSN's song "What’s Up (feat. Jagged Edge)" delves deep into the emotional turmoil of a past relationship. The lyrics are a poignant exploration of regret and longing, capturing the essence of a love that was lost due to mistakes and miscommunication. The artist reflects on the biggest mistake of letting their partner go and the subsequent realization of their deep feelings. This introspection is evident in lines like, "Biggest mistake I made, shouldn't have let you go," and "When I say, love, I'm in love, ain't no fuckin' shame in it." The raw honesty in these words highlights the vulnerability and the pain of recognizing one's own faults too late.

The song also touches on the theme of loneliness despite being with someone else. The artist confesses to feeling isolated even when lying next to another person, indicating that the emotional connection with their ex is irreplaceable. This sentiment is powerfully conveyed in the chorus, where the artist repeatedly asks, "What's up with you? What's goin' on? Who's fuckin' with you?" These questions reveal a deep yearning to reconnect and understand what went wrong, as well as a sense of jealousy and possessiveness over their former lover's current life.

Cultural references to modern dating and social behaviors are also present in the song. The artist criticizes their ex for attending parties and acting happy publicly, suggesting that these actions are a facade to mask true feelings. This critique is encapsulated in the lines, "Who told you you should be at these parties right now? I know you're only actin' happy publicly." The song paints a vivid picture of the complexities of post-breakup emotions, where pride, regret, and longing intertwine. DVSN's soulful delivery, combined with Jagged Edge's harmonies, amplifies the emotional weight of the lyrics, making "What’s Up" a relatable anthem for anyone grappling with the aftermath of a breakup.
