Song Analysis; Drake "Find Your Love"

Find Your Love Lyrics: Drake

[Drake]
I’m more than just an option
Hey, Hey, Hey
refuse to be forgotten
Hey, Hey, Hey
I took a chance with my heart
Hey, Hey, Hey
And I feel it taking over

[Chrous]
I better find your lovin’
I better find your heart
I better find your lovin’
I better find your heart
I better find your lovin’
I better find your heart
I bet if i give all my love
then nothings gonna tear us apart

I’m more than just a number
Hey, Hey, Hey
I doubt you’ll find another
Hey, Hey, Hey
so every single summer
Hey, Hey, Hey
I be the one that you remember

[Chrous]
and I better find your lovin
I better find your heart
I better find your lovin
I better find your heart
I better find your lovin
I better find your heart
I bet if i give all my love,
then nothings gonna tear us apart

it’s more than just a mission
Hey, Hey, Hey
you hear but you don’t listen
Hey, Hey, Hey
You better pay attention
Hey, Hey, Hey
and get what you been missing

[Chorus]

too many times I’ve been wrong
I guess being right takes too long

I’m done waiting,

theres nothing left to do

but give all I have to you and

I better find your lovin
I better find your heart
I better find your lovin
I bet if I give all my love,
then nothings gonna tear us apart

I bet if I give all my love,
then nothings gonna tear us apart
[End]

This song that i chose is one of the hits by one of the most popular artist in today's music industry, Drake. The song is titled "Find Your Love". I am a big fan of Drake and this song is one of my favorites from the album before his previous one called, "Thank Me Later". This song is the second single from the album and it was helped produced by Kanye West. Drake and Kanye West designed the song which has sort of a similar pop tune. It was way different from the other songs because this one poured out his feelings about his lifestyle dealing with women and relationships. There were many phrases such as "I better find your loving" and "I better find your heart". These lines showed repitition all throughout the chorus to symbolize that he is sick and tired of falling at first sight with the women that isn't mrs.right for him. I noticed that there were a few rhyme schemes as well. In verse one Drake sings," I’m more than just a number/ Hey, Hey, Hey/I doubt you'll find another/Hey, Hey, Hey/So every single summer/Hey, Hey, Hey/I be the one that you remember." I think that this verse is similar to a Monorhyme. Also an example of "ABAB" would be when Drake sings in the 2nd verse," It's more than just a mission/ Hey, Hey, Hey/You hear but you don't listen/ Hey, Hey, Hey/You better pay attention/Hey, Hey, Hey/ and get what you been missing." The words mission and attention both have that particular sound. As well as the words listen and mising from the verses which make up that the rhyme scheme is "ABAB".

In Drake's opening verse, which is verse one,"I'm more then just an option/ Hey, Hey, Hey/ Refuse to be forgotten/ Hey, Hey, Het// I took a chance with my heart/ Hey, Hey, Hey/ And I feel it taking over." I feel that he is trying to show that he wants to have a major impact on people in a way that they will stay for both the relationship and his music. Also I feel that when he says that, " And I feel it taking over" he is referring to previuos experience or a present relationship and how he has risked his time for this woman. So now he feels confident and positive that his heart made the right descision, and now he is going to let his heart lead the way because he's in perfect condition with this woman. Another thing that I noticed in the song was the way that the Chorus before last begins to change a bit. He stops the mood and tells the woman that" Too many times I've been wrong/ I guess being right takes too long/ I'm done waiting/ Theres nothing left to do but give all I have to you." This statement by Drake indicates that too many times he has constantly fallen for the wrong woman. This has been going on for a while now and he can't stop because of his anxiousness. He is determinded to find the right woman and end his quest for love once and for all. Overall this song by Drake was to show how even though Drake didn't have success in his previous relationships that he'll continue his journey to search for the right woman for him.
