He’s actually singing a love song to Love, not a particular person, but the emotion.
@carriel99544 жыл бұрын
The song is actually about God. Love is God. If you pay close attention to the lyrics, you will see that it’s about God. “Love some people use your name in vain”, and those who have faith in you sometimes go astray are examples.

Yeah, I heard that this song was about God and he was supposed to come out as a Christian artist but they changed the lyrics to Love because they thought he’d be more successful going another route
