The song "Need To Not" by Jordan Davis is about a person who is struggling to resist the temptation of going back to a past love. The narrator knows exactly how to get to this person's house, and carries a key that will let them in. The repetitive line "I need to not" illustrates the narrator's inner battle between wanting to give in to their feelings and the logical choice of walking away. The narrator acknowledges that they have already crossed a line with this person and that giving them another chance would only lead to more heartache. Despite this, the memories and feelings associated with this person are causing the narrator to consider going back to them. The narrator knows what they should do, which is to turn around and go home, but struggling to resist the allure of the past. In the end, the narrator realizes that they need to come to their senses and get out of this person's driveway. The song represents a common struggle of wanting something that is not good for us and the difficulty of letting go of past relationships.
