The song "Sweet Talker" by Jessie J is about being charmed by someone who has a smooth and persuasive way of speaking. The lyrics suggest that the person is very good at talking, but may not necessarily have good intentions. Despite knowing this, the protagonist is still drawn to the person's words and finds it difficult to resist their charm. The song begins with the protagonist feeling faded or tired, but still noticing the person as they leave. The person's sweet talk is described as being able to make the protagonist fall apart. The lyrics also mention that the person doesn't need to look like a movie star, their words are enough to captivate the protagonist. The chorus reinforces the idea of the person being a sweet talker who can turn the protagonist's world around. It emphasizes that their words are enough to make the protagonist give in. The lyrics also mention the person being like a teacher's pet, making the bed, and singing lullabies, which could suggest a level of manipulation and control through their charm. The bridge of the song indicates that after tonight, the protagonist will be alone and playing the game with their eyes closed, suggesting that they will no longer fall for the person's sweet talk. The lyrics also mention the protagonist wanting to make the person feel good in return. Overall, "Sweet Talker" portrays the allure and danger of being drawn to someone who knows how to manipulate with their words. It suggests a struggle between succumbing to their charm and recognizing their true intentions.
