**"Look What You’re Doing to Me"** is a song by American singer and songwriter Banks, featuring Francis and the Lights. It is the seventh track and second single off her third full-length album, *III*. It was released on June 11, 2019 and premiered as Annie Mac's 'Hottest Record' on the same date.

## Background

On the Editor’s Notes of her Apple Music page, she says about the prodution of this song: "So, I was in the studio with BJ Burton. We were in LA. And he's super close with Francis Starlite, and I had actually never met Francis. He just ended up stopping by the studio in LA just to chill. And when I needed a break from the song I was working on, I went in the other room and it just...it wasn't like he came to write a song with me. I didn't even think that was going to happen. I just walked in the other room, and the chords he was playing—he’s so brilliant, and they just inspired this melody. I started singing, like, 'Look what you're doing to me.' It just came out so quick, and then I was like, 'fuck, this is so good'".

## Theme

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Banks states: "‘Look What You’re Doing To Me’ is a song about love. About falling in love, being in love and how you feel when you’re high on love. Vibrant, scared, on fire, excited, and all the goodness in between."

## Lyrics

[Verse 1: BANKS]

Why don't you tell me you love me too?

Why did you sell me on that thing you do?

Why every single December I’m waiting on you?

Why you just looking me over?

[Pre-Chorus: BANKS]

Giving me why's, keep giving me why's, no

Tell you, "Enough," then you give me one more

Heavenly eyes, I’m dying for

Why you just looking me over?

[Chorus: BANKS & Francis and the Lights]

Look what you're doing to me (I don't mind)

Look what you're doing to me

Ooh, your love, it's better than I remember

And why did you leave off me loving you?

Why you just looking me over?

Look what you're doing to me

And look what you've done, look what you've done

You’re looking me over

Ooh, your love, it’s better than I remember

Heavenly eyes

Why don't you, don’t you just notice?

And why did you leave off me loving you?

You're taking me over

Why you just looking me over?

Heavenly eyes, heavenly eyes

[Verse 2: BANKS]

Scope

You said none left when I gave you hope

I light up when you come home

If you leave you'll be sorry

[Pre-Chorus: BANKS, Francis and the Lights, & Both]

Giving me eyes, keep giving me eyes, no

Tell you, "Enough," then you give me one more

Heavenly eyes (Heavenly eyes), I'm dying for

Oh, I’m losing my war

Why you just looking me over?

[Chorus: BANKS & Francis and the Lights]

Look what you're doing to me (I don't mind)

Look what you're doing to me

Ooh, your love is better than I remember

And why did you leave off me loving you?

Why you just looking me over?

Look what you're doing to me

And look what you've done, look what you've done

You're looking me over

Ooh, your love, it's better than I remember

Heavenly eyes

Why don't you, don't you just notice?

And why did you leave off me loving you?

You're taking me over

Why you just looking me over?

Heavenly eyes

[Bridge: Francis and the Lights, BANKS, & Both]

Okay, don't cry, I'm looking you over

You know you're giving me the thing

You're taking my only, you're taking my only

You're taking my only, you're taking my only

I don't mind

[Chorus: BANKS & Francis and the Lights]

Look what you're doing to me

Look what you've done

You're looking me over

Ooh, your love, it's better than I remember

Heavenly eyes

Why don't you, don't you just notice?

And why did you leave off me loving you?

You're taking me over

Why you just looking me over?

Heavenly eyes, heavenly eyes

Look what you're doing to me

Look what you're doing to me

Look what you've done

You're looking me over

Ooh, your love, it's better than I remember

Heavenly eyes

Why don't you, don't you just notice?

And why did you leave off me loving you?

You're taking me over

Why you just looking me over?

Heavenly eyes

Why you just looking me over?
