Songfacts®:

  • This piano-driven ballad finds a vulnerable Lopez singing of her anguish over trickling keys:

    Someone took my emotions…
    I tried to give you all my love but that never meant a thing to you


    The song was co-written by Chris Brown. "Chris fu--ed with it after [hearing] the hook," Lopez said during A.K.A's listening party.
  • This is one of several songs on A.K.A. that are personal to Lopez. "I have a song called 'First Love,' I have a song called 'Emotions,' I have song called 'Let It Be Me' — all very personal," she told Pop Crush. "They're very personal songs in different things about my life and how I feel about love or different moments."

    "You know, everything's a moment or an emotion that you have, a day you feel a certain way, and you kind of put that into a song or you relate to it in a way that you know people are gonna understand — like, 'Yeah, I've felt that way,'" Lopez added. "It feels like it's something that I would say. I think this album, of any album, is really owning all of who I am musically and emotionally."
