"Lost" by Jorja Smith is a song about a troubled relationship and the feelings of being lost within it. The lyrics describe the protagonist's love and attraction towards her partner, represented metaphorically by her "big full breasts." However, despite their love, the partner is not fulfilling their responsibilities, such as going to work, and the protagonist questions why they are not taking care of her properly. The song suggests that the partner has become lost, both physically and emotionally, in the excitement and thrill of various cities like Miami, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Spain, Los Angeles, and India. There is a sense of longing and confusion as the protagonist wonders why her partner has strayed from their relationship and indulged in these experiences. The lyrics also mention the protagonist wearing a luxurious Versace shirt and referencing "triple weight," symbolizing the weight of the emotional burden she carries for her partner. Despite their troubles, she remains faithful, expressing that she has never let her partner get caught or exposed. The second verse highlights the partner's involvement in illicit activities, as the protagonist states that she can't believe she has her cooking drugs. However, she believes that her partner can change and create a better future for themselves and their family. The chorus reinforces the feeling of being lost in the emotions and temptations of the relationship. The mention of different locations emphasizes how far both partners have strayed from their initial connection. Overall, "Lost" symbolizes the confusion and turmoil within a relationship where one partner has lost themselves and their commitment, leaving the other feeling lost and searching for answers.
