Emotional

**Producer(s)** | Clampitt, Conrad

**Emotional** is a song by Ashe and is the seventh track on her album *Rae*.

It's marked by having a fast tempo yet stripped-back simplicity, but is lustfully and sonically mature.

## Background

Described as an "upbeat and playful song that [focuses] on her feminist and fun energy" where Ashe "[shows] off her vocal dexterity as it glides up and down the track with playful abandon".

## Meaning

The song is about vocalising an appetite for casual encounters, similar to "San Jose". “Sometimes we just take things far too seriously in love and sometimes it’s just about driving a little too fast and having a little too much fun” says Ashe about the song.

## Lyrics

[Intro]

(One, two, three, go)

[Verse 1]

I don't wanna run you over heavy on the gas

I'm a million miles an hour and I'm never coming last

Hey, hey-hey

Saw you in the distance, there was something in the room

Could've been the music or it could've been the moon

Hey, hey-hey

[Pre-Chorus]

No, we

Don't

Have

To get emotional (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

No, we (We)

Don't (Don't)

Have (Have)

To get emotional

[Chorus]

You'll never love somebody like me

You'll never love somеbody like me

You'll nevеr love, you'll never love

You'll never love somebody like me

You'll never love somebody like me

And you could be somebody I need

You'll never love, you'll never love

You'll never love somebody like me (Hey-hey-hey)

(Hey-hey-hey)

[Verse 2]

You don't have to stay the night, only if you want

I'm a little dark side, I'm a little fun

Hey, hey-hey

Used to like the drama, baby, I don't anymore

If you got some trouble, baby, leave it at the door

Hey, hey-hey (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]

No, we (We)

Don't (Don't)

Have (Have)

To get emotional

[Chorus]

You'll never love somebody like me

You'll never love somebody like me

You'll never love, you'll never love

You'll never love somebody like me

You'll never love somebody like me

And you could be somebody I need

You'll never love, you'll never love

You'll never love somebody like me

[Outro]

You'll never love somebody like me

You'll never love somebody like me

You'll never love, you'll never love

You'll never love somebody like me

You'll never love somebody like me

And you could be somebody I need

You'll never love, you'll never love

You'll never love somebody like me
