"Love For You 2" by Jerreau is a song that reflects on personal experiences and relationships. The lyrics convey the artist's introspective thoughts and emotions regarding past romantic relationships and friendships. The song begins by acknowledging the realization that some of the artist's past romantic partners were never truly committed or loyal. Despite this, the artist doesn't take it personally or dwell on it. The memories of the good times shared with these individuals are acknowledged, but the artist also recognizes the importance of self-honesty and finding balance in life. The lyrics touch upon the artist's decision to leave the city, wondering if people have forgotten about him and if they truly support him. This highlights the artist's need for validation and a desire to be recognized for his talents. However, he acknowledges that not everyone loves or supports him, and questions whether people are only interested in him because of what he can offer them. The theme of loyalty is also explored, emphasizing the artist's struggle to find genuine loyalty in others. Loyalty is seen as an individualistic concept, as everyone has their own interpretation of the term. In response, the artist maintains distance and keeps to himself as a way of protecting himself from potential letdowns. The chorus of the song speaks to the notion that people tend to only show love and support when they can benefit from someone. The artist expresses that despite this, he still has love for those individuals. The desire to showcase success and wealth also comes into play, with the artist mentioning the need to show off and pull up in expensive cars. The second verse delves into the artist's return to the city, hoping to gauge who still cares for him. However, he acknowledges that there may be fake smiles and disapproval from some individuals. The theme of love and hate is explored, suggesting that people can only hate someone as much as they once loved them. The artist also touches upon the search for love and relationships, recognizing that many women are seeking commitment and marriage. The song concludes with the artist expressing a feeling of distance and disconnect from even his close friends and family. Despite this, he chooses to embrace it and enjoy life by indulging in luxury experiences like smoking cigars in a villa or drinking expensive whisky. Overall, "Love For You 2" reflects Jerreau's contemplation of past relationships, the complexities of loyalty, and the artist's quest for self-fulfillment and recognition.
