Jorja Smith - The One 

Our worst enemy is ourselves. Self sabotaging our happiness because we feel we don't deserve it.

Jorja could easily make the intro to a James Bond film, her voice is unreal

To whoever is crying to this song, for whatever reason; you're not broken. You're worthy of healthy love. You're not alone.

This song is so fucking real. Humans are social animals. How can we accept another person into our space when so many others have destroyed us time and time again? It's so scary. Being hurt is physically painful, but being loved is so amazing. The touch of another person, affection, a kiss, sharing laughs, intimacy... feeds the soul.

I don’t think the song describes an abusive relationship. I feel it’s more of an internal struggle with relationships-she knows herself, and knows how needing someone changes her mentally. Whether it be choosers, takers, beggars, or heartbreakers, she doesn’t want to see herself as any of those qualities to protect herself and possible partners. So she cuts ties even if it means losing the possibility of a soul mate because having a soul mate or the perfect partner can still make someone become self destructive from being needy.

What a Beautiful human being.

I think she has been hurt before . Now she's too scared to take the risk. She wants to be alone and feel loved at the same time.

She's such a beautiful woman

So much emotion in her voice. Amazing

the production is so cinematic

After 10 yrs 3 kids im done ... I dont think i really ever loved him i was use to him ! All of his cheating , disrespect and using me . im 2000 miles away from everything i know .. But this song is it !! I feel safe .. Im done and it hurts because i care about him because of our children but my soul is tired of fighting !! U won idgaf no more ! Im moving on

Never had to work for love Don't need you to show me how Don't want to be falling in When I'm falling out Didn't think I'd give for love Every time I hold it back Now there’s lust in my head I'm tryna find who I am There's choosers, there's takers There's beggin' heartbreakers I don't wanna be that way You will never hear me say "Come hold me, console me" When, really, I'm lonely Even if I feel this way I don't wanna feel this way When I Need someone I don't want to need no one I'm not tryna let you in Even if I've found the one Never had to wait for love Always thought it'd come around You come for me But I'm nowhere to be found Cancellations for conversations I don't need right now I'm afraid of these relations I can't be tied down There's choosers, there's takers There's beggin' heartbreakers I don't wanna be that way I don't wanna feel this way When I Need someone I don't wanna need no one I'm not tryna let you in Even if I've found the one I don't wanna feel this way When I Need someone I don't wanna need no one I'm not tryna let you in Even if I've found the one

I kinda hate this because I feel like each and every time she hoped he would chase after her and because she didn’t really wanna part ways she’d run back to him even though she was trying to be strong... love you Jorja you masterpiece

How didn’t she win best new artist

The context of the video is: fear of affection, love and relationships. "Always thought it'd come around" wants to feel that, but chooses to abandon those short relationships in order not to have future dependencies. "I can't be tied down" prefers to run away or emotional independence.

this song is just representing me everytime u feel attached to someone you push them away and saying goodbye but inside you there is always a part hoping they say "please stay" but they don't ... back to my past I was such a loving person who trust everyone and soo open up ... I do really miss the old me

Everytime she tries to leave she still goes back

That feeling of pushing someone away but wanting to be close but you fear they will hurt you .

My interpretation of this song is that you want to love someone, but you remember what happened last time. The pain that grinded you down when they threw you away. All of your love didn't matter as they abandoned you. You don't want that torture again. It's risky...

I feel this song on a spiritual level. Seriously, there is nothing lonelier than being with someone you love, and you know you love them, you have your own needs (emotionally, physically and spiritually) but they don't know how to love you the way you need to be loved.

This is the kind of artist on an artistic level that will be ignored by the main stream she's too talented

Lyrics Never had to walk for love Don't need you to show me how Don't want to be falling in When I'm falling out Didn't think I'd give for love Every time I hold it back Now there's lust in my head I'm tryna find who I am There's choosers, there's takers There's beggin', heartbreakers I don't wanna be that way You will never hear me say Come hold me, console me When really I'm lonely Even if I feel this way I don't wanna feel this way When I Need someone I don't wanna need no one I'm not tryna let you in Even if I fall, don't worry Never had to wait for love Always thought it'd come around You come for me But I'm nowhere to be found Consolations with conversations I don't need right now I'm afraid that these relations Are goin' to be tied out There's choosers, there's takers There's beggin', heartbreakers I don't wanna be that way I dont' wanna feel this way When I Need someone I don't wanna need no one I'm not tryna let you in Even if I fall, don't worry I don't wanna feel this way When I Need someone I don't wanna need no one I'm not tryna let you in Even if I fall, don't worry

This helped me get over my toxic relationship when I realised I didn’t actually love him, he just made me feel like I needed him

Why must people always compare a singer to other singers, she is her and solely her. Her amazing vocals and lovely appearance make her who she is. Love Jorja!

GRAMMY NOMINEE!!!

such a sad video, the feels of when you love the person so much, and you cannot leave them even when you know you should.... horrible feeling, you want to feel wanted, leaving them but they dont go for you, so you end up going back to them...

She's like a mix of Rihanna, Lana del rey and Amy Winehouse

2:35 those strings totally killing me. So very tastefully arranged!

How do I mysteriously relate to most of her songs 😢😢😢

For me, this song speaks volumes about unhealthy choices we makr in our romantic lives ... when she says "You'll never hear me say come hold me console me when really I'm lonely" " I don't want to be this way when I need someone, I don't want to need no one" it's a sharp jab at my habit of not wanting to let anyone in, "even if I find the one", past abuse tricks us into thinking so low of ourselves and we don't even realize it. I only discovered lately quite some troubled tendencies of mine.. I can't seem to believe that the other person loves me and cares for me. It's quite impossible to me, the feeling is too foreign to me and the thought is too strange. Emotional abuse makes us think we are so unworthy of being loved back. And there is nothing that hurts more than the realization of " oh, I can't seem to comprehend and believe that you love me no matter how hard you try to prove it, and everytime you prove it to me I am astonished, because I truly believe no one can love me back and that is why I might never accept your love." I have always been on the giving end, so being on the receiving end is confusing. It's very sad to think that way. And then here's what's even more sad : the fact that we stay even when we know that we deserve more, even when we know that the other person will always take advantage of our emotional vulnerability . We stay because we think to ourselves " I'd rather so little of him than nothing at all" . We settle for the less, we compromise ourselves in the process. We know we deserve better, we just don't accept what's better, because then again we're so picky "Never had to wait for love, always thought It'd come around, but every time you come for me I am no where to be found" . We could have the bestest match for us right infront of us and only then will we start acting awful,distant, out of hand and unavailable because it's foreign to us so it throws us off our balance. And then we're stuck in this endless cycle of giving too much, regretting it, refusing to give up one's self any longer, packing and leaving, craving whatever crumbs we were given, going back to giving too much, meeting the right person, refusing to believe we can be loved, refusing their love unintentionnally. Repeat.

“I don’t want to need someone” “I don’t want to let you in” I guess that’s what it comes to When you so tired of being vulnerable

jorja should act honestly. she's so talented with singing and acting. ugh i love her

Vocals: Served Visuals: Slayed Wig: Mars

This sounded like something from a James Bond movie... Wow thanks for the likes 😍

you can tell she's getting more ready and ready each time she leaves by looking at the way she dresses.

I heard this for first time. it hit me like ton of bricks. I can’t stop listening to it. I am feeling emotions that I did not think I had anymore. Just beautiful lyrics and perfect delivery. u can really see the emotional anguish she going thru.

even when she cries she‘s so pretty damn

not having the strength to leave because you don't want to leave a part of yourself

This song has explained my love life and social life too accurately for comfort. Constantly seeking approval and reassurance, love and protection, peace and happiness. But always to scared to leave when it's no longer beneficial. Loved this song so much, I had to the album on vinyl. ♥️♥️♥️🎶🎶🔊👌🏽🙌🙌🙌😩😩😫😫

I lost my mum a couple months ago. This song in-captures how I have felt towards my external world. Just that feeling of loss and abandonment to self. This is so human.

Please remain humble. Don't let this industry, culture or fame get to your head. Please.

She got the voice to make the next James Bond soundtrack ! Love her .... voice

I feel this song. Everyday it's such a good reminder. I remember the pain love causes it's better to be alone.

I’ve probably commented years ago about this song but this is present / future me. For me this song has been such a representation on how it feels to not be able to be vulnerable Becuase it’s always taken as a weakness. No one ever making you feel safe enough to need. So do what you gotta do to survive. Not live but survive while still suffering and wanting love but not wanting to admit it. I don’t wanna feel this way when I need someone. I don’t ever wanna let you in even if I find someone. Idk can someone Also share their story and relation to it ? I’m not saying she sang this because of what I went thru. Much love my soldiers ❤️❤️

My jam how depressing is this

There's Choosers (Picky) There's Takers (Complacent) There's Begging (Desperate) Heartbreakers (Inconsiderate) It's crazy how simple she broke this down in the hook, and when you look back, most of us have been (or know someone who has been) one of these people. What I love about the video is that Jorja tries to leave someone who may or may not seem to care, especially when she herself has mixed feelings about the relationship, because she doesn't want to be too attached, but she's so afraid of her own loneliness that she can't seem to slip away. Yet, at the very end, she realizes how she'll be fine on her own, once she leaves that part of herself behind. GET. THIS. GIRL. A. GRAMMY.

I’m sad I just found this and it’s been out so long 💔 I love that each time she gets a little closer to leaving then the time before. I feel like it really represents the ‘lost the battle but not the war’ we have with ourselves when we’re trying to change within. She keeps resorting to old ways, but she doesn’t give up.. she keeps trying, building a little strength each time until she’s strong enough to finally make the change.

this song is so beautiful. the cinematography compliments the song perfectly. two big thumbs up!!!

it's difficult picking the right i'm leaving you outfit

This is beautiful. She's growing sooo much as an artist 👏😭😭

Who's Here from Raising Voices series like I fall in love with this song ❤

i think she's saying that in a relationship, she won't be willing to fight for someone to stay and be with her because she hates even the thought of being the kind of person who would risk losing themselves in the process. she prioritizes herself and she knows her limits in a relationship, so she's ready to leave anytime she feels threatened with the thought of losing herself even if the person she's in a relationship with might be the one for her.

The melody is so emotional

She should be an actor for real!!

I keep coming back to this her vocals are just everything 🥺❤️

Such powerful lyrics man... hit straight through to my heart ❤️ 💔

My ex and I love Jorja Smith very much. I was in a toxic/abusive relationship for a very longtime and I recently ended it. When this song came out I was still with him. Now there's a video and we aren't. This video is exactly how I have felt every-time I saw him. Broken,lost. I found myself though.

I cant resist how simple yet beautiful is this music video

As I sit here in tears I feel this song was written for me. Jorja thank you for this gem of experience and expression. I understand exactly.

This lyrics and everything in her voice so touchy, soulful I love her. Real women ❤️❤️💯🤯♥️💋

"I'm afraid of these relations/I can't be tied down"...Everytime she tries to let herself be loved, the tension builds, but then she doesn't let herself fall

This music video is gorgeous. It feels so cinematic and it just reels you in. Also, congrats on the Grammy nom Jorja!! If there's anyone who deserves that Grammy, it'll be you. Your music is on another level honestly

Que voz!!!!!!! ♥️

This song will always be good. I honestly cannot described how good it is, I can’t

Jorja is the next great talent she’s just amazing and has so much potential I love her ❤️

I was in an abusive relationship for two years and this is exactly what I had to go through it was hard breaking up with him bc I thought he loved me like he said but he hurt me like really bad to the point where I went to the hospital twice and my parents were scared saying who did this and I had to lie and say I fell but I'm done with relationships for now I broke up with him three years ago and I have a restraining order on him and I'm happily single and recovering from all the scares he gave me but ..... And I can truly say that ........ I'm ok❤️

Her music is speaking to my soul. Such a beautiful voice

essa msc merece o mundo, a Jorja tbm

I love it when, at the end of the video, it goes from the scene where she's going to the taxi to the scene where she's looking at the window, because it seems like she is looking at herself in both scenes . I think it adds a deeper level to the song *.*

The bass line & violin is such a satisfying combination, but the lyric make me want to cry... I relate to them too much

I just found the perfect song for me, this resonates in me, a lot

The worst feeling ...when we go back to someone who do not deserves us , just to not be alone with ourselves, because we do not love ourselves enough ! It's nothing but torture...

I feel like when she tries to leave, she's actually contemplating on seeing the person who she can't help loving. She doesn't want to be in love so she stays away from him, but in the end, she sucks up her pride and her fears and admits that she needs someone. It was like a longing or a magnetic pull drawing her to go out and break those walls around her heart.

The next bond singer. The next Grammy winner. The next big thing since sliced bread. Thank you, Next.

Jorja has everything, the Voice, the beauty, the music. She's a queen

Lost and Found is my favorite album 😍 and this song is everything!!!

She released this the day she got nominated for her grammy. Coincidence anyone? Lol congrats tho she deserves all the awards.

In a world where we're constantly told that one of the great goals is to find your soul mate settle down and raise goldfish and kids, a lot of us dont feel content being alone. Like there's something missing. That's what I got from this song. I dont want to feel "lonely" and that I need a guy to fix that. I want to be me and content being just me and if that changes it changes

I can’t stop hearing such an incredible voice 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Voice and beauty in one person. Such a talent ♥️♥️

This is heartbreakingly beautiful.

I feel this song so much I keep replaying it over and over again...

Sis dropped a music video at 5 in the morning

Jorja is just so talented, best new female RNB voice right now 💞💗💞

this song represents me in such a deep level. I love jorja so much.

The Weeknd X Jorja Smith Jeez

The violins are haunting and Jorja is beautiful. One of the best singers from the UK

This is the perfect song to my admirer, I've been single for 2 years and being single has been peaceful, being in a relationship is a whole job that I'm not sure I'm ready for just yet💔😔

I just found out about this song and i've NEVER heard nothing like this before, the producer that made this piece of art is incredible, and this voice is unreal, I'm only sixteen and I cant believe a song made me cry. Unbelievable. #MyNewFavouriteSong

After all this crap that is being released these days, this woman gives us meaningful music, expressed through a voice that is out of this world, through words that hit you right in the most painful spot and for that I am so grateful. Not to mention she looks absolutely _I don't even have the words to describe._ This is beyond amazing.

Her song gives me Amy's vibes off 😍love it

Deadlift workout music right here 💖 *a u t h e n t I c v i e w s* 💖 dun took Jorja Smith oFf 2 da big leagues and for dat I will always be super grate

Her nose from the side is iconic

She has a 90s soul

*a well deserved grammy nominee*

Never gonna forget this song… there’s a deficit of true musicians and she without a doubt has got it all

She literally has NO bad songs❤️👏🏽

:/ I'm confused, everyone is talking about how this represents an abusive relationship but I don't see it. I felt like it is about being different from everyone else in the sense that she is guarded and never wants to show her vulnerabilities like feeling like she needs someone to console or comfort her. Like guys fall in love with her but she never truly reciprocates. Those conversations that they ask for concerning her feelings always get cancelled by her. I didn't see any sign of abuse in the music video. I don't know, may it's wishful thinking, but this song really resonated with me.

This woman, her voice her body is everything !

I feel this song is about not wanting to fall in love, because being in love makes us vulnerable. Beautiful song ❤

Thats how you let the beat build! The music easily tells the story, to go along with the video. The visual matches the lyrics. I love it all!
