“LMLY,” an abbreviation of “Leave me love you,” is the second single released by Jackson Wang in 2021, following his Mandarin single “Alone.”
The track is a disco-pop song heavily influenced by 80’s sounds that revolves around an unfulfilled love story, as previously seen in the singles “100 Ways,”...
[Verse 1]
You don't call me "Baby"
You call me my name
But I keep on hoping
Nothing has changed
Yeah-eah
We keep on touching
But we don't feel
Feels like you're letting
Your hands off the wheel
Ayy
[Pre-Chorus]
What if I just hold on for a while?
Baby, there's no drug quite like denial
Oh my, if this is goodbye
[Chorus]
Don't leave me loving you
But whatever you do
Don't leave me loving you
If you tip-toe out in the morning
I need a warning
If you don't feel it too
But whatever you do
Don't leave me loving you
If you're out of this when I'm all in
I need a warning
[Post-Chorus]
Don't leave me loving you, babe
Whatever you do, babе
Don't leave me loving you, babе
Ooh, babe
[Verse 2]
The sun is setting
In purple and blue
Is there no getting
Closer to you?
Yeah-eah
Waking up strangers
California King
Reaching out for you
To bring you to me
Yeah-eah-eah
[Pre-Chorus]
What if I just hold on for a while?
Baby, there's no drug quite like denial
Oh my, if this is goodbye
[Chorus]
Don't leave me loving you
But whatever you do
Don't leave me loving you
If you tip-toe out in the morning
I need a warning
If you don't feel it too
But whatever you do
Don't leave me loving you
If you're out of this when I'm all in
I need a warning
[Post-Chorus]
Don't leave me loving you, babe
Whatever you do, babe
Don't leave me loving you, babe
Whatever you do, babe
Don't leave me loving you, babe
Whatever you do, babe
Don't leave me loving you, babe
Ooh, babe
[Chorus]
Don't leave me loving you
But whatever you do
Don't leave me loving you
If you tip-toe out in the morning
I need a warning
[Outro]
Don't leave me loving you

Jackson Wang (王嘉爾) released LMLY on Fri Mar 26 2021.
For the music video, I came up with the treatment that follows my previous release “Pretty Please” still staying in the time zone of 90’s Hong Kong Chinese Movie style. The way I decided to shoot the video it’s more towards movie structure this time rather than musical and choreo performances like I...
Go for it, I think what we’ve all realized this past year is how fleeting life can be. Whether it is love or an aspiration, I hope we can all be more courageous in pursuing our happiness. If you like someone, you should let them know.
