Di alam semesta musik, "What Is Love" oleh Janelle Monae muncul sebagai lagu cinta yang memukau, bagian dari soundtrack film animasi "Rio 2". Lirik lagu ini mengekspresikan kerinduan yang mendalam dan pencarian akan makna sejati cinta. Sepanjang lagu ini, Monae merenungkan kebohongan cinta tanpa orang yang dicintainya, mempertanyakan keberadaannya jika tidak disertai oleh orang yang membuat mereka lengkap. Lirik yang bergema "What good is love if it's not your love?" menangkap esensi kerinduan dan kebingungan yang ditimbulkan oleh cinta yang tak berbalas.
What Is Love (OST. Rio 2) Lyrics
Janelle Monae
What is love
If it's not with you
I know when you're alone you feel it too
In your arms is where I long to be
Cause being with you gives me sanity
Listen to me darling
I wake up every morning
Thinking bout the way you feel
I wonder if you know it
And what good is the party
If you're not around
Listen to me now
What good is love
If it's not your love
What good is love
If it's not your love
What good is love
If it's not your love
What's a song
I know when you're alone
You've got to feel it too
Ho, yeah, oh, yeah
What is love
Listen to me darling
What is love if it's not with you
If it's not with you
I know when you're alone you feel it too
In your arms is where I long to be
Cause being with you gives me sanity
Listen to me darling
I wake up every morning
Thinking bout the way you feel
I wonder if you know it
And what good is the party
If you're not around
Listen to me now
What good is love
If it's not your love
What good is love
If it's not your love
What good is love
If it's not your love
What's a song
I know when you're alone
You've got to feel it too
Ho, yeah, oh, yeah
What is love
Listen to me darling
What is love if it's not with you
