“Bitter Sweet Love” is the opening track on UK native James Arthur’s fifth major-label studio album. The track itself is Arthur’s take on the dichotomy of the highs and lows that come with giving yourself away to love.
This cut on the album of the same name sees Arthur experiment with the groovines...
[Verse 1]
I won't lie
But your body's got me feeling under pressure
Under pressure, babe
Tell me lies, tell me lies
It don't matter when I'm drowning in your pleasure
It feels electric, babe
[Refrain]
So deep
It's in my veins, I feel the pain
So, please
Don't play those games, don't play with me
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, ah
[Chorus]
I need just a bit of sweet love
Not your bittersweet love
I need just a bit of sweet love
Not your bittersweet love
Give me just a bit of sweet love
Not your bittersweet love
I need just a bit of sweet love
Not your bittersweet
[Verse 2]
Yeah, and I could eulogise
About the way look in the red light, you're a killer (You're a killer)
Yeah, it's a thriller, babe (It's a thriller)
Tell me why, tell me why
Do you feel the need to run me through the wringer
When I'm hook, line, and sinker, babe
[Refrain]
So deep
It's in my veins, I feel the pain
So, please
Don't play those games (Don't play), don't play with me
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, ah
I need just a bit of sweet love
Not your bittersweet love
I need just a bit of sweet love
Not your bittersweet
[Chorus]
I need just a bit of sweet love
Not your bittersweet love
I need just a bit of sweet love (Just a bit of love)
Not your bittersweet love
Give me just a bit of sweet love (Sweet love)
Not your bittersweet love
I need just a bit of sweet love (Bit of sweet love)
Not your bittersweet
I need just a bit of sweet love (I need a little bit, just a bit of your love)
Not your bittersweet love (Oh, just a little bit of love)
I need just a bit of sweet love
Not your bittersweet love (Just a bit of your love)
Give me just a bit of sweet love (Give me, just need a bit of your love)
Not your bittersweet love (Oh, just a little bit of love)
I need just a bit of sweet love (Oh, your bittersweet love)
Not your bittersweet (Ooh)

I kept singing it, ‘Bitter sweet love’, in that cadence that you hear. It obviously has a bit of a The 1975 feel, but I wanted it to depart from that groove and that’s where the Kings of Leon pre-chorus came from. It was clear that I wanted to talk about love and heartbreak. Of course, if it’s reall...
