LYRICS:
We’ve been friends for years
And you were always here
Through my heartbreak tears
And none of them compare to you
Never told you why
Always held inside
No more tears to cry
I’m not afraid, I got to say
Oh damn
I think we got potential
I call it how I see it and I see it in my mental
Like damn
I know we could be special
I’ll sell you on the vision but this heart is not for rental
Like damn
Don’t mean no disrespectful
I know you’re with somebody but your body shouldn’t settle
Like damn
I think we got, I think we got, I think we got potential
I think we got potential
Had a heart attack
When I told you that
That I loved you back
You never said but I always knew
You’ll be the one at the afterparty
After the fun you’ll admit you want me
Like oooh oooh oooh oooh
I want you oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oh damn
I think we got potential
I call it how I see it and I see it in my mental
Like damn
I know we could be special
I’ll sell you on the vision but this heart is not for rental
Like damn
Don’t mean no disrespectful
I know you’re with somebody but your body shouldn’t settle
Like damn
I think we got, I think we got, I think we got potential
With a body like that
Body like that, I don’t want nobody else
With a body like that
Body like that, I just want you to myself
With a body like that
Body like that, I don’t want nobody else
With a body like that
Body like that, I just can’t keep my hands to myself
Like damn
I think we got potential
I call it how I see it and I see it in my mental
Like damn
I know we could be special
I’ll sell you on the vision but this heart is not for rental
Like damn
Don’t mean no disrespectful
I know you’re with somebody but your body shouldn’t settle
Like damn
I think we got, I think we got, I think we got potential
Oooh
I think we got, I think we got, I think we got potential

The undeniable romantic chemistry; that’s between Lauv and the main guy; is honestly so insanely powerful. They belong together forever, honestly. ✌️

[@TheBlupickles]

Surely, that's an actor/ dancer, no?

[@NonBinaryGayEmo2349]

@@TheBlupickles Honestly; it seemed more-so; a lot more than that. At least to me; it seemed more that that. Because no two people could have danced; that passionately, with each other. At that point, they aren’t really acting; but showing their true feelings; through the art; of dancing. And that is extremely; an undeniably beautiful thing; for two partners; to accomplish; in a music video. ✌️

[@TheBlupickles]

@@NonBinaryGayEmo2349 The purpose of actors are to immerse you in the story. Dancers also do the same. Watch more professional pairs dance performances. It is okay to enjoy a performance...it's harmful to believe it is real.

Oh my gosh!! Is it just me but with this new era of lauv i’m hearing also an added texture on his voice. Can’t seem to explain although strangely noticeable. For me lauv, you will remain as to what i’ve always known you for regardless of representation. What matters the most is where you feel comfortable and ‘more you’. A new era has begun and us, your fans, are excited to embark this journey with you.

[@seandiaz9405]

this new era of lauv will be so much more raw than any of his past, he’s a lot more true to his kind and he is perfectly himself.

[@official_rown]

8 people wrote this song. This is far from raw

[@Tobstarrilez]

From staying up to watch the premier of "Love Somebody" three years ago, where he was holding a girl the whole time, to watching the premier of "Potential" where he is holding a boy, makes me so happy. Lauv is living his truth and it makes me so warm inside.

[@bts_armylover9799]

I think that Lauv's music video was made for LGBTQ🏳️‍🌈 people because Lauv wants others to think of us as equals no matter what your gender is because we are the same people who live in this world and I hope we can all be accepted. here in the world so that we can all be happy and they wish of LGBTQ people is that they are not bullies by other people because they want peace and just be happy😊 I'm so exited POTENTIAL

This is the first time seeing a music video from LAUV with the love interest of a man. great music video anyway. I love it. PS: Are we not curious about who is this dedicated to? Every song has intended meaning AND to whom.

[@absolutely_abe]

So very curious. He's opening more about his sexuality. But also, that's the allure of music, we'll never truly know if it's about someone(s) or just pure imagination.

[@swedemartyrsonswade]

[@cookiesyruplover]

Giddy with this song! Augh got so many ideas from it. I think my fave with music videos are ones that have interpretive dance since the main vibe helps me focus on the song. Though, the "look" when both of you are staring at each other with love is so good!!! Wish I had the words to describe how much I love it.
