@@viviennewestwoodruinedmylife This is literally a song about going against what the industry says, she wouldn’t oblige to the industry and she chose to stay true to herself instead of becoming a “Meghan Trainer” as I like to call it.
Haha, I just love how her label told her to write a love song, so she wrote a song about not writing a love song, and called it Love Song. I love her haha.
Apparently the actual inspiration was frustration that the record company she worked for was rejecting her songs. She was trying different styles, and was no longer happy with the songs because she had changed her style so much for approval. In the end, she allegedly wrote Love Song to say she didn't want to have to change for people to like her, and the company approved.
It's 2024, just got back from work and suddenly the song starts ringing in my head, haven't heard it in over 10 years, you can imagine the excitement when I landed here!
I haven't heard this song in *YEARS* and it just randomly popped into my head and made my whole week! 😀 Memory loss sucks, but sometimes it's helpful. Hoping for a better year in 2019! ☺️.

The 2000s truly were different. They were not just the turn of the century, not just the birth of the internet, not just the birth of many of us reminiscing about our childhoods, and not just a golden age of songs, they were magical. All of these reasons made it that way, among a ton of other reasons. It was truly something
maybe my math is bad, but i think songs from 2008 are 13 years old now...

love song.... a song about not writing a love song.. it was a big middle finger to her producers who wanted her to write a love song....if im not mistaken.
These type of old songs always have that bold creative style like they can come up with everything they thought of. I get to really miss that type of raw use of creativity these days, Love that raw power. Edit: to put things in perspective; I'm 27 and the first release of this song was June 2007... And I'm not even trying to call people old, I was just saying how this song just hits different through time since it's now 2024. Calling something old isn't bad per se, I especially liked this song more *because* the music industry changed through time. Hence why I love this song more
So I'm not the only one who has been hearing this song for years, but never actually knew who the singer was until now? And then proceeded to listen to all of the singer's music?
Yeah you were about 7. Times are usually simpler a kid. I grew jp in the 90s and a lot less complicatedthsn the 00sbut i prefer the music of 80s yo what i grew up with.
I came here to see if anyone else wrote about this. I haven’t heard this song for a while and forgot it started that way. It made me cry when I heard it today.

+White Mist LOL....some things don't change. I've been out of school for decades and I remember middle school being a miserable time kids were really vicious, when we got to HS, things changed dramatically no more misery, a much happier time.
I can literally remember this song like it was yesterday. It was my senior year, I went to subway and this song was playing on the radio. I had a tuna sandwich and enjoyed listening to it.
I knew the reason behind this song, I just realized after so any years that not only did she slapped back at them, but she metaphorically, in the video, did it from the shelf inside the cabinet they had her tucked away until she wrote them “a love song”!!! 🤩🤯💀 Love it even more! I keep coming back to it because it’s so good!
Man, time flies... I remember watching this music video on MTV in 2007 shortly after I graduated from high school. Now, here it is 2014 and I'm getting married in 4 months
Zakiy Ramadhan Thanks! I have a feeling it will last forever. After 4 years of dating, when I proposed, and 5 years of being together, when we get married, I think it'll be an incredible marriage.
I met him when I was 17 years old. He was 16 but was so mature for his age. We lived together for 4 years until we separated. Few years later we reconnected but was too late, he had a family and I was already in another relationship. Last phone call from him was him saying how sorry he was and if he had met me at a later time in his life he would have known better and treated me right. We ended our very last phone call with him saying I will always love you no matter where we go in life. Yesterday his soul went to rest. This song reminds me of my 17 year old self living with my then 16 year old bf at his parents house. I can remember the room we shared and the order of the house with this song playing on the tv. 😔 It's funny how the mind works even after 10 years later the memory is clear. One of the most precious memories I will always hold close to my heart. This song will always remind me of him. RIP my friend. Thank you for what we had, I'll never forget you ❤️
Here I am in 2020, just realizing that she is the same person that also wrote Brave and the songs of Waitress: The Musical. My brain never made that connection and I’ve missed precious time not admiring her. So now I’m in Coronavirus Self-isolation and just trying to soak up as much of her awesomeness as I can to make up for the time lost.
I remember sending the song to the first guy I fell in love with in my life, in high school and he was mocking me for liking this type of music but I felt something when I heard this song and how Sara Bareilles stands for herself and it was so catchy. It helped me realized he was really not right for me and if my dreams came true, I would have regretted being with him so it's good I stayed alone in high school. At least I could make awesome playlists with awesome singers helping me going through days and days in hell-school. It was in 2010s. Time flies.
If I were the record exec that asked for a love song, and was delivered this....I would never let this talent leave my company!! This is absolutely genius, video included (it plays on the same themes and fits right in the 2000s videos). GENIUS.
Funny how's there's always new meaning to some of the lines of this song. I've loved it since I first heard the initial chords...then I started listening to it and was in awe. It's just the kind of upbeat, yet grounded energy (lyrics) I want to carry around and give to myself and others. Thank you madam.
right ? yesterday i turned on the radio in the car on my way to campus and the first song till the last song when i turned off the radio were all about sex ._. I'm just hoping they could've played songs about a little bit more than sex
I genuinely adore how this song calls out the commodification of art and music, and the constant desire for content thats exactly what people “want to hear” suffocating the creative freedom of artists. Corporations don’t care about giving a message that’s meaningful or creating something that matters, they care about maintaining a status quo that maximizes their profits- and this song does a great job at portraying that through the context, lyrics and visuals. Genuinely fantastic work
There's actually a reason for why this song came to be and it's not because people were pushing for a love song. The music producers encouraged her to keep on writing when she was having difficulties with coming up with something.
Head under water And they tell me to breathe easy for a while The breathing gets harder, even I know that Made room for me It's too soon to see If I'm happy in your hands I'm unusually hard to hold on to Blank stares at blank pages No easy way to say this You mean well, but you make this hard on me I'm not gonna write you a love song 'Cause you asked for it 'Cause you need one, you see I'm not gonna write you a love song 'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this If you're on your way I'm not gonna write you to stay If all you have is leaving I'mma need a better reason To write you a love song today, today I learned the hard way That they all say things you wanna hear And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and your twisted words, Your help just hurts You are not what I thought you were Hello to high and dry Convinced me to please you Made me think that I need this too I'm trying to let you hear me as I am I'm not gonna write you a love song 'Cause you asked for it 'Cause you need one, you see I'm not gonna write you a love song 'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this If you're on your way I'm not gonna write you to stay If all you have is leaving I'mma need a better reason To write you a love song today Promise me, you'll leave the light on To help me see with daylight my guide gone 'Cause I believe there's a way you can love me Because I say I won't write you a love song 'Cause you asked for it 'Cause you need one, you see I'm not gonna write you a love song 'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this Is that why you wanted a love song? 'Cause you asked for it 'Cause you need one, you see I'm not gonna write you a love song 'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this If you're on your way I'm not gonna write you to stay If your heart is nowhere in it I don't want it for a minute Babe, I'll walk the seven seas When I believe that there's a reason To write you a love song today, today Thank you for reading. I record covers from different popular songs. I appreciate it if you listen to my channel! 😊
JANUARY 2023: I just learned the backstory of this song (the record label wants a love song) and it blew my effin mind! What genius lyrics. It works on so many different levels. Bravo Sara, bravo!
February 2024: Standing in line at the UPS Store and “Love Song” comes on over the in-store speakers…💜 I started moving a little to the music and singing along under my breath. I hated that I had to leave the store before the song came to an end and so I decided to listen and watch the video on UA-cam. Awesome song and the reason behind its existence is brilliant! Thank you Sara for such a great song! Love it 💜
I'd be honored if some Sara B fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of LOVE SONG and MORNINGSIDE in tribute to 2 of her early creative masterpieces. Live acoustic with no autotune. Peace & stay safe in the '020s.
Its wild when a song like this can take you back to collective feelings/emotions/vibes from a certain time. While the song contributed to those feelings/emotions/vibes at that time. Amazing song, singer, writer. Beautiful and super talented. We need more of this vibe now.
I have a brand new appreciation for this song after finding out its true meaning and intention. Such an awesome and relatable real-life story behind it. Haha! Sara, you're a genius! Never let them force your hand! I really really liked it before but now I absolutely _love_ it!
This song has so much meaning to me when I was a child I remember walking with my late mother singing this with her on her flip phone. And I’m down I listen to this song and think of those moments when life was good
She didn’t want to write a love song, instead she wrote a hit song
Chumi lol it’s a meme from the mtv’s or something I thought it would be funny to put that meme as my name thingy

Love it even more! I keep coming back to it because it’s so good!
I heard on the radio she wrote this when her manager told her he needed a love song
That's right. A lot of people don't know that. :P
Justin Datkins AMEN!
I think it was her record company, actually...but same idea.
Justin Datkins She's beautiful too, and she has respect for herself and others. God bless her :)
if that opening piano doesn't just instantly make you happy, I question if you're human
I AGREE WHAT A GREAT SONG :)
She is just incredible.
Writes a masterpiece because she was asked to write a love song, we needed it.
A voice and a piano.
and a drumset, a bass and a guitar
plus the extra tracks for harmonizing the vocals - idk if you know but people can't usually sing chords
@@dovahsenbrom836
Give a listen to some of her live performances.
Man, time flies... I remember watching this music video on MTV in 2007 shortly after I graduated from high school. Now, here it is 2014 and I'm getting married in 4 months
aww congratulations:)
Vandita M Well thank you :-)
***** I don't understand. Do you want to see what the future holds for you? Or do you want to go to the past and do it all over again?
Congratulations! I hope your wedding goes well, cheerful, and happy. And your marriage will last forever. Cheers!
Zakiy Ramadhan Thanks! I have a feeling it will last forever. After 4 years of dating, when I proposed, and 5 years of being together, when we get married, I think it'll be an incredible marriage.
Why dont we have more of this kind in the pop music? :D Amazing song, amazing backstory, amazing video
Sophie Liemann I completely agree
Sophie Liemann because this is an old era of pop music that I wish would come back

Katherine Grey hi
Now you can learn how to construct a sentence.
MrBritishGentleman
So much for your moniker. You're not a Gentleman at all.
Came across this song yesterday by accident, remember it from my younger days. Loved it then and love it now.
this was stuck in my head all day omg ..
Same here zzzzzZ :P
that makes three
Usiku four!
Thanks for commenting now it's stuck in my head again. :p
Same again here! Happy new year! 😅
I met him when I was 17 years old. He was 16 but was so mature for his age. We lived together for 4 years until we separated. Few years later we reconnected but was too late, he had a family and I was already in another relationship. Last phone call from him was him saying how sorry he was and if he had met me at a later time in his life he would have known better and treated me right. We ended our very last phone call with him saying I will always love you no matter where we go in life. Yesterday his soul went to rest. This song reminds me of my 17 year old self living with my then 16 year old bf at his parents house. I can remember the room we shared and the order of the house with this song playing on the tv. 😔 It's funny how the mind works even after 10 years later the memory is clear. One of the most precious memories I will always hold close to my heart. This song will always remind me of him. RIP my friend. Thank you for what we had, I'll never forget you ❤️
Nostalgia sucks, to be honest. Hope things get better
@@Nediler thank you for your message. Appreciate it x
@Kiel Enrique thank you for your kind words. Appreciate it. :)
Very touching
Wow. Thats beautiful.
Sara is underrated AF
Damn, she's so amazing. Her sweet style, her beauty and of course her voice is incredible.
She's written a universal story in an epic song that's basically for all occasions in one an she did it her way like a boss.
Seems like this song is made like yesterday literally. Never gets too old. Sara makes songs that looks new.
wait this is by sara bareilles? haha i never knew until now omg i listened to this like six years ago
I thought it was by Kelly Clarkson.. 😂
Christopher Collado me too! LOL haha
Christopher Collado Same here :P
Wow! Haha! well now we know. I really like Sara Bareilles`s Brave, its such a masterpiece!
Christopher Collado me too
Beautiful song and visuals. Plus Sara Bareilles has the nicest eyes and expressions.
Here I am in 2020, just realizing that she is the same person that also wrote Brave and the songs of Waitress: The Musical. My brain never made that connection and I’ve missed precious time not admiring her. So now I’m in Coronavirus Self-isolation and just trying to soak up as much of her awesomeness as I can to make up for the time lost.
*realization time* OMFG
THATS WHAT I JUST REALIZED WHEN I LOOKED THIS SONG UP AND SAW HER NAME
How dare you just drop this on me!
Yes exactly this!
A middle finger in song form. Not to a partner, but to her record label.
Fr though. One of my favorite songs of all time!
Didn’t do her career any harm did it. She is fantastic.
What if her record label asked her to write a song about refusing to write a love song?
That wouldn't exist without the label telling her to do it.
It's funny to me that this song, and the song y'all want a single by Korn are basically the exact same thing.
this song right here reminds me of my childhood and the good old days damn 😭
I know 😭
Dude I feel the same way😭😢😥😪
same
if this song was your childhood then you are still in your childhood cause this song was like 5 years ago.
+Garlicjr Made it s actually 9 years, it was released in 2007
I remember sending the song to the first guy I fell in love with in my life, in high school and he was mocking me for liking this type of music but I felt something when I heard this song and how Sara Bareilles stands for herself and it was so catchy. It helped me realized he was really not right for me and if my dreams came true, I would have regretted being with him so it's good I stayed alone in high school. At least I could make awesome playlists with awesome singers helping me going through days and days in hell-school. It was in 2010s. Time flies.
If I were the record exec that asked for a love song, and was delivered this....I would never let this talent leave my company!! This is absolutely genius, video included (it plays on the same themes and fits right in the 2000s videos). GENIUS.
I love you Sara Bareilles

I'm loving this beat.
Sweet
Funny how's there's always new meaning to some of the lines of this song. I've loved it since I first heard the initial chords...then I started listening to it and was in awe. It's just the kind of upbeat, yet grounded energy (lyrics) I want to carry around and give to myself and others. Thank you madam.
if we could just have more songs like this now days.
right ? yesterday i turned on the radio in the car on my way to campus and the first song till the last song when i turned off the radio were all about sex ._. I'm just hoping they could've played songs about a little bit more than sex
it should be in this pandemic years
Talk about memories
I was in 4th grade when this song came out!
Metaphysical Mike I was in jail....
I was one.
I was 14 yo :o
Metaphysical Mike i was in my junior year ❤️
I was in 2nd grade
why do I love the chord at 0:10 so much
😅 I wasn't expecting this song
It's a Bbsus2 chord that's voiced in a way that nicely builds up to it and then leads to the Dm
I call that a crunchy note, 😅 sry can't be more helpful
I genuinely adore how this song calls out the commodification of art and music, and the constant desire for content thats exactly what people “want to hear” suffocating the creative freedom of artists. Corporations don’t care about giving a message that’s meaningful or creating something that matters, they care about maintaining a status quo that maximizes their profits- and this song does a great job at portraying that through the context, lyrics and visuals. Genuinely fantastic work
She was told to write a love song and she did this... lyrics are even better when knowing this; what a badass.
10 years ago today, this masterpiece was released, and I still listen to it
This was the first song I heard from Sara Bareilles.. That pretty much sold the deal for me ^-^
Girls5Eva brought me back to thissss
This is still in the playlist of literally in every supermarket. Such a succesful song.
QUEEN OF EVERYTHING
When some musical producer orders to a songwriter to write a love song, the result is this.. Not a love song but a huge hit
Yeah, basically this song is her just telling them to fuck themselves.
There's actually a reason for why this song came to be and it's not because people were pushing for a love song. The music producers encouraged her to keep on writing when she was having difficulties with coming up with something.
After reading the comments about how this is actually not a love song I love this song even more. Sara is brilliant!
Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
Made room for me
It's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving
I'mma need a better reason
To write you a love song today, today
I learned the hard way
That they all say things you wanna hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving
I'mma need a better reason
To write you a love song today
Promise me, you'll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight my guide gone
'Cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I say
I won't write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
Is that why you wanted a love song?
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas
When I believe that there's a reason
To write you a love song today, today
Thank you for reading. I record covers from different popular songs. I appreciate it if you listen to my channel! 😊
The lyrics are in the description...
@@trezaakame1795 how do you think they got them?
@@tk-ol6iv LMAO I KNOW HOW THEY GOT THEM AHAHAHA
@@trezaakame1795 um.. ok lol ig
What's with the head underwater part. I don't get it
JANUARY 2023: I just learned the backstory of this song (the record label wants a love song) and it blew my effin mind! What genius lyrics. It works on so many different levels. Bravo Sara, bravo!
I was in 5th grade when I first heard this song. 😮 I'm in college now 😶
Theworldisbeautiful9 you're supposed to be in 11th grade because this was posted six years ago and you said you were in fifth grade so stop lying
This was posted after the song got at least a year after the song popular 😑
Shubaita Raisa she said the first time she heard it not the first time she saw the video. music isnt limited to just youtube videos
Theworldisbeautiful9 i graduated man. i am older than most people now 😢😭😭😭
what school did you go to
One of the greatest songs ever written and produced. Bravo.
I listened to it, when I was a child O.o...... and still in 2014 (3 days before 2015)... great song!
It's only been what 6 years
Actually Evan, the song is turning 8 years old, later this year. The song was released in 2007.
11 years since this banger came out and it still hits such a specific nostalgia point in my feels
The song is even older actually was released in 2007
Nah this came out waay earlier than that. This vid was jus uploaded in 2009
Yeah this was 2007-2008. Sadly I remember
February 2024: Standing in line at the UPS Store and “Love Song” comes on over the in-store speakers…💜
I started moving a little to the music and singing along under my breath. I hated that I had to leave the store before the song came to an end and so I decided to listen and watch the video on UA-cam.
Awesome song and the reason behind its existence is brilliant! Thank you Sara for such a great song! Love it 💜
I'd be honored if some Sara B fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of LOVE SONG and MORNINGSIDE in tribute to 2 of her early creative masterpieces. Live acoustic with no autotune. Peace & stay safe in the '020s.
It's on my playlist 😊😊😊
Its wild when a song like this can take you back to collective feelings/emotions/vibes from a certain time. While the song contributed to those feelings/emotions/vibes at that time. Amazing song, singer, writer. Beautiful and super talented. We need more of this vibe now.
I have a brand new appreciation for this song after finding out its true meaning and intention. Such an awesome and relatable real-life story behind it. Haha! Sara, you're a genius! Never let them force your hand! I really really liked it before but now I absolutely _love_ it!
Great song but makes me a feel a bit old now that this song is already 7 years old!
4 years or so
ProfessorGubbinstien It Actually Came Out In 2007
How old are you?
35
Fuck u *****
“Your twisted words, your help just hurts” I felt that😑
You are twisted words? You are help? XD
PikaPalCorina I don’t get it.
@@rachelsewell7026 I’m guessing the original commenter wrote “you’re” instead of “your” and then edited it.
This song was a favorite growing up and now I get to watch her show at 25. Looking back this song has so much of a deeper meaning. Love it
How can someone be so seductive by not showing anything or being provocative in anyway.
She is a dream.
Killing me sofly
We love to see it :p
This song is a masterpiece, hands down. God knows, it's one of the most insidious earworms ever written. I love it...!
Remember listening to this on my tv. This song brings me so much nostalgia for when i was a kid.
This song has so much meaning to me when I was a child I remember walking with my late mother singing this with her on her flip phone. And I’m down I listen to this song and think of those moments when life was good
Its such a nice song but it makes me emotional😢
Missing my childhood..
