UnTunes:I'm Back & I'm Desperate
"I'm Back & I'm Desperate" is a 2017 song by English singer-songwriter and nationalist Ed Sheeran. It is the fourth song in his third album, ÷ (2017), and is one of two songs released on 6 January (the other one is On Top Of The Hill). Somehow, this song managed to be more popular than On Top Of The Hill due to it being very catchy. This one is more unique as it is a dance-pop and tropical house song, both genres in which Ed didn't do until it was released to the public. The song topped many charts worldwide and became the most overplayed song of the year 2017 and also became the most streamed song on Spotify. Not only that, but it got tons of awards, including a Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 2018.
It is still played in radios, however, you don't hear it much often, thankfully. This is Ed's most popular song of all time, but even if he still gets number ones to this day, this is the only song he'll ever be remembered for. It is the first song to get an UnTunes Verified episode, and you can watch it here.
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
The club isn't the best place to reach number one
So the charts is where I go
I've been nearly shot multiple times and I've laid down low
Come over if you trust me, because you should now
Take my hand, and stop, play this song in the jukebox and now we're going to dance until we're dead, and now I'm singing like
Girl, you know, I want you to love me
Give me your handmade love for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I'm not crazy, do you like me?
Say boy, let's not talk that much
Go ahead, grab my waist and put your body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead
I'm back and I'm desperate
I released this song to pay off my debts
Although I almost cried myself to death
I'm still in love with this song
Last night I was in your room
Checking if you are listening to it too
Because if you don't, I'm forcing you to listen to it now
I'm still in love with this song
Oh I'm, oh I'm, oh I'm, oh I'm
I'm still in love with this song
Oh I'm, oh I'm, oh I'm, oh I'm
I'm still in love with this song
Oh I'm, oh I'm, oh I'm, oh I'm
I'm still in love with this song
Everyday forcing radio stations to play it
I'm back and I'm desperate
A week later, I saw you again
Now we're having our first date
You and me, we're very thrifty, so let's grab a cup and fill up a plate
We talk for hours and hours about everything we've done, I hope your family's doing okay
Now we're in the taxi, kissing in the backseat, tell the driver to play this song and now I'm singing like
Girl, you know, I want you to love me
Give me your handmade love for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I'm not crazy, do you like me?
Say boy, let's not talk that much
Go ahead, grab my waist and put your body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead
I'm back and I'm desperate
I released this song to pay off my debts
Although I almost cried myself to death
I'm still in love with this song
Last night I was in your room
Checking if you are listening to it too
Because if you don't, I'm forcing you to listen to it now
I'm still in love with this song
Oh I'm, oh I'm, oh I'm, oh I'm
I'm still in love with this song
Oh I'm, oh I'm, oh I'm, oh I'm
I'm still in love with this song
Oh I'm, oh I'm, oh I'm, oh I'm
I'm still in love with this song
Everyday forcing radio stations to play it
I'm back and I'm desperate
Come on, please hit number one, come on
Come on, please hit number one, come on
Come on, please hit number one, come on
Come on, please hit number one, come on
Come on, please hit number one, come on
Come on, please hit number one, come on
Come on, please hit number one, come on
Come on, please hit number one, come on
I'm back and I'm desperate
I released this song to pay off my debts
Although I almost cried myself to death
I'm still in love with this song
Last night I was in your room
Checking if you are listening to it too
Because if you don't, I'm forcing you to listen to it now
I'm still in love with this song
(Come on, please hit number one, come on)
(Come on, please hit number one, come on) I'm in love with this song
(Come on, please hit number one, come on)
(Come on, please hit number one, come on) I'm in love with this song
(Come on, please hit number one, come on)
(Come on, please hit number one, come on) I'm in love with this song
Everyday forcing radio stations to play it
I'm back and I'm desperate
