10/10

Paolo Nutini's song '10/10' is a heartfelt ode to love and dedication. The lyrics reveal a man deeply in love, who is determined to be the best partner he can be. He acknowledges that many people might be interested in his significant other, but he hopes she will remain loyal to him. This sentiment is encapsulated in the line, 'And I hope you tell them where to go,' which shows his desire for exclusivity and mutual commitment.

The song also touches on the idea of taking things slow and savoring the moments together. Nutini contrasts the rush of modern relationships with his own desire to 'slow it down' and enjoy the process of getting dressed up and going out. This reflects a more traditional and romantic approach to love, where the journey is just as important as the destination. The repeated phrase 'I wanna get ten out of ten' serves as a metaphor for his aspiration to be the perfect partner, excelling in every aspect of their relationship.

Moreover, Nutini emphasizes the importance of being attentive and supportive, especially when his partner is feeling down. He wants to be there for her, to lift her spirits and make her feel special. The song's bridge, which mentions getting 'an A in the taxi, in the restaurant, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom,' humorously yet sincerely underscores his commitment to excelling in all areas of their life together. This playful yet earnest approach makes '10/10' a relatable and endearing love song that celebrates the effort and dedication required to maintain a loving relationship.
