When it gets real, just know that I’ll be there1
I got your back,2 like it’s just you and me here
I’ll go to war for you, let them bring it3
I’ll take on the world for you, better believe it4
So if you need me, just holla my name5
We ain’t never scared, no we’re not afraid
Whenever, whatever, know I’m down for life6
I’m your ride or die7
When the night gets cold and the lights go out
The sun is gone behind the clouds8
And you feel lost, and I’ll reach out
To guide you home with my lighthouse9
Ooh whoa, ooh whoa
I’ll guide you home with my lighthouse
Oh whoa, ooh whoa
I’ll guide you home…10
Whenever you doubt, I’ll lift you up
People gon’ hate, late them hate on us11
I move in too strong, I click too deep
‘Cause I got you, and you got me12
So if you need me, just holla my name
We ain’t never scared, no we’re not afraid
Whenever, whatever, know I’m down for life
I’m your ride or die
When the night gets cold and the lights go out
The sun is gone behind the clouds
And you feel lost, and I’ll reach out
To guide you home with my lighthouse
Ooh whoa, ooh whoa
I’ll guide you home with my lighthouse
Oh whoa, ooh whoa
I’ll guide you home…
If you ever need me, know I’ll be there
Don’t you ever be afraid to call
I’ll be waitin’ over the horizon13
Don’t you worry, I’m not very far
I’ll light it up, show you the way
I’ll light it up, show you the way
I’ll light it up, show you the way
I’ll light it up, don’t be afraid!14
When the night gets cold and the lights go out
The sun is gone behind the clouds
And you feel lost, and I’ll reach out
To guide you home with my lighthouse
When the night gets cold and the lights go out
The sun is gone behind the clouds
And you feel lost, and I’ll reach out
To guide you home with my lighthouse
Ooh whoa, ooh whoa
I’ll guide you home with my lighthouse
Oh whoa, ooh whoa
I’ll guide you home…15
G.R.L. sings about supporting a friend in need.
“I got your back” means “I will support you in the midst of trouble.”
G.R.L. is ready to make sacrifices for their friends.
The open stanza sets the song’s theme: supporting one’s friends.
This shows that a good friend is always within earshot.
No matter how daunting the circumstances, a good friend is always there for support.
In other words, not even fear or death can separate a good friend from her friends.
The cold, dark night is a metaphor for life’s hardships.
A lighthouse is specifically built to guide ships in the right direction, especially at night. Offering one’s self as a lighthouse, therefore, means to help somebody who is struggling to find her way.
A good friend always tries to provide direction for her friends in need.
There are always dramatic opponents. One must treat them passively to maintain sanity.
A deep friendship is the key to mutual support.
A friend is always waiting nearby to be helpful to another friend.
Sometimes in life, one needs a friend for support when it is needed most.
This song is about being supportive to a friend.
