Must Be Love

The song 'Must Be Love' by Laufey captures the intoxicating and transformative experience of falling in love. The lyrics convey a sense of time slowing down, a common feeling when one is enamored, as if the world is playing a joke on the protagonist for succumbing to love once again. However, the singer notes a distinct difference with this new love interest, suggesting a deeper connection than previous experiences.

The song's protagonist describes a state of blissful disorientation, where even the mundane annoyance of traffic is rendered insignificant. The physical act of touching their love interest amplifies this feeling, leading to a loss of composure. The chorus, with its repetition of being 'all in' and 'fallin',' emphasizes the depth of the protagonist's feelings, highlighting the vulnerability and lack of control that comes with true love. The inability to 'get back up' or 'think right' further illustrates the overwhelming nature of their emotions.

In the latter part of the song, the protagonist's friends notice a change, as time spent with the love interest seems to make hours disappear. The singer admits to an unfamiliar happiness that makes them feel as if they are floating, a stark contrast to their previous self. The transformation is so profound that they become the 'sappy stupid something' they once vowed never to be, fully embracing the dreamlike state of being in love. The repeated plea to 'come kiss me, convince me' suggests a desire for reassurance that this love is real, ending with the confident declaration that it 'must be love.'
