Meant To Be (feat. Florida Georgia Line)
Baby, lay on back and relax
Kick your pretty feet up on my dash
No need to go nowhere fast
Let's enjoy right here where we at
Who knows where this road supposed to lead?
We got nothing but time
As long as you're right here next to me
Everything's gonna be alright
If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be
Baby, just let it be
If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be
Baby, just let it be
So won't you ride with me, ride with me?
See where this thing goes
If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be
Baby, if it's meant to be
I don't mean to be so uptight
But my heart's been hurt a couple times
By a couple guys that didn't treat me right
I ain't gon' lie, ain't gon' lie
Cause I'm tired of the fake love
Show me what you're made of
Boy, make me believe
But hold up, girl, don't you know you're beautiful?
And it's easy to see
If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be
Baby, just let it be
If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be
Baby just let it be
So won't you ride with me, ride with me?
See where this thing goes
If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be
Baby, if it's meant to be
So c'mon ride with me, ride with me
See where this thing goes
So c'mon ride with me, ride with me
Baby, if it's meant to be
Maybe we do
Maybe we don't
Maybe we will
Maybe we won't
But if it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be
Baby, just let it be
If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be (c'mon)
Baby, just let it be (let's go)
So won't you ride with me, ride with me?
See where this thing goes
If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be
Baby, if it's meant to be
If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be
Baby, if it's meant to be
If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be
Baby, if it's meant to be
A Jornada do Amor e o Destino em Meant To Be de Bebe Rexha
A música 'Meant To Be', interpretada por Bebe Rexha em colaboração com a dupla country Florida Georgia Line, é uma fusão de pop com elementos de country que fala sobre deixar o amor seguir seu curso natural. A letra sugere uma abordagem relaxada em relação ao amor e ao destino, incentivando a ideia de que não devemos forçar os acontecimentos, mas sim permitir que as coisas aconteçam se realmente forem destinadas a ser.
A narrativa da canção começa com um convite para desacelerar e aproveitar o momento presente, sem pressa de chegar a algum destino. Essa introdução estabelece um clima de tranquilidade e cumplicidade entre os amantes. A repetição do refrão 'If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be' funciona como um mantra que transmite a mensagem central da música: a aceitação do fluxo natural dos relacionamentos e da vida. A ideia é que, se algo é verdadeiramente destinado a acontecer, acontecerá independentemente dos esforços para controlar o resultado.
A vulnerabilidade expressa na segunda estrofe, onde Bebe Rexha menciona ter sido magoada anteriormente, adiciona uma camada de realismo e relatabilidade à música. Ela reconhece o medo de se machucar novamente, mas ao mesmo tempo, há um desejo de acreditar no amor. A música, portanto, toca em temas universais como a incerteza, a esperança e a entrega ao desconhecido, ressoando com ouvintes que já enfrentaram dilemas semelhantes em suas próprias jornadas amorosas.
