"**Mine**"  is the fourteenth track by Bazzi, featured in the debut album "*Cosmic*". The song was self-released digitally as a single in Europe and the United States on October 12, 2017. Initially the song failed to chart, but made its chart debut on February 3, 2018, after becoming an internet meme. As of April 2018, the song has charted in several countries including the United States, where it peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single is certified platinum in the United States, Australia, Canada and Sweden, and gold in New Zealand.

## Background

Bazzi’s fifth single, "Mine" describes his love interest, where Bazzi confesses his obsession with the girl.

The single topped the iTunes Charts and preceded his sixth single, "Why?" While his previous single, "Beautiful" didn’t do terribly, “Mine” reached over 2 million downloads on Spotify in less than two months, and debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 56, peaking at No. 11.

Although the song released in October 2017, the song picked up massive traction in January 2018. Most of this can be attributed to a Snapchat Lense and viral internet meme which featured the song.

## Viral popularity

The song became an internet meme after gaining popularity in late January 2018. The videos featured a slideshow of different pictures of the subject of the video with the Snapchat "hearts" filter and overlaying lyrics. The last word of each song line was surrounded by different "heart" and "kiss" emojis.

## Lyrics

[Intro]

Huh, yeah, naw I just, had a lil' bit too much of Hennessy

Just gotta tell you how I feel, look

[Verse 1]

You so fuckin' precious when you smile

Hit it from the back and drive you wild

Girl, I lose myself up in those eye-eye-eye-eye-eyes

I just had to let you know you're mine

[Chorus]

Hands on your body, I don't wanna waste no time

Feels like forever even if forever's tonight

Just lay with me, waste this night away with me

You're mine, I can't look away, I just gotta say

[Verse 2]

I'm so fucking happy you're alive

Swear to God I'm down if you're down all you gotta say is right

Girl anything I can do just to make you feel alright

Oh, oh, oh, oh, I just had to let you know you're fine

Running circles 'round my mind

Even when it's rainy all you ever do is shine

You on fire, you a star just like Mariah

Man this feel incredible, I'll turn you into a bride, you're mine

[Chorus]

Hands on your body, I don't wanna waste no time

Feels like forever even if forever's tonight

Just lay with me, waste this night away with me

You're mine, I can't look away, I just gotta say

## Trivia

* The first verse of the song occurred to Bazzi on a hot summer day, when he and some friends were in a pool, were having a few drinks and smoking cigarettes.
