"**Naked**" is a song by American singer Ava Max. It was released on September 18, 2020, through Atlantic Records as the third track from her debut studio album *Heaven & Hell*.

A music video for the song was released the same day to coincide with the album's release.

## Background

On September 17, 2020, Max announced that a music video for the song would be releasing alongside the album at midnight. The song is about vulnerability in a relationship and how no one will ever truly know her deep down.

In an interview with Amazon Music, Max confirmed that an acoustic version of the song will be released to streaming platforms.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Wrap me in designer sheets and trace along this frame

Ask me why they used to say the trouble was my name

I've been playin' a fool since I stepped into the game

Tell me I'm like Heaven, take the good Lord's name in vain

**[Pre-Chorus]**

But when I play my cards, keep 'em close to my chest

Never fall in love, everybody loses the bet

But underneath, I just need to forget

So come and get me undressed

**[Chorus]**

Well, you can take off all my clothes

And never see me naked

(See me for real)

If you don't know my heart

You're never gonna break it

(Baby)

Tell me if it's safe to bare my soul

I wanna show you my deepest secrets

I think I'm ready to be exposed

I want you watching me

When you can take off all my clothes

And really see me naked

See me for real

**[Verse 2]**

If I let you leave the light on and I drop my guard

Promise that you'll see me for my truth and not my scars

**[Pre-Chorus]**

But when I play my cards, keep 'em close to my chest

Never fall in love, everybody loses the bet

But underneath, I just need to forget

So come and get me undressed

**[Chorus]**

Well, you can take off all my clothes

And never see me naked

(See me for real)

If you don't know my heart

You're never gonna break it

(Baby)

Tell me if it's safe to bare my soul

I wanna show you my deepest secrets

I think I'm ready to be exposed

I want you watching me

When you can take off all my clothes

And really see me naked

See me for real

**[Bridge]**

If I keep my distance, I can't connect with you

Lay my head on your chest and just surrender

Just surrender to, you

**[Chorus]**

Well, you can take off all my clothes

And never see me naked

(See me for real)

If you don't know my heart

You're never gonna break it

Oh

Tell me if it's safe to bare my soul

I wanna show you my deepest secrets

I think I'm ready to be exposed

I want you watching me

When you can take off all my clothes

And really see me naked

See me for real
