JoJo describes “Clovers.” as one of the most important songs on “Mad Love.” The song explores the depression she fell into during the years she was unable to break free of her infamous record contract with Blackground Records.
I became really depressed. I didn’t feel like I could see a future that...
[Verse 1]
Wake up, like, a quarter to twelve
Hoping that today I'll be someone else
So dumb how I talk to myself
This is hell on earth, but I can turn it into heaven
[Pre-Chorus]
What makes me mad
All of the lost time
Only left here to realize
What makes me mad
Can't open up my eyes
[Chorus]
And just when I think it's over
Just when I think I've lost my mind
I'm in a field of clovers
I'm running forward, back to life
[Verse 2]
Went a little crazy yesterday
Everybody saw, but it's okay
Swimming in the river of my feels
Looking in the mirror, like what's the deal
Now, now, no matter what the doctors offered me
Couldn't shake that dark cloud off of me
Finally know how fast I gotta run
Now I'm on a move for my kingdom come
Always on a move for a rainy day
Needed a change
[Chorus]
And just when I think it's over
Just when I think I've lost my mind
I'm in a field of clovers
I'm running forward, back to life
[Bridge]
Sitting pretty, steady picking clovers
Finally, I feel I'm getting closure
Sitting pretty, steady picking clovers
Finally, I feel I'm getting closure
[Chorus]
And just when I think it's over
Just when I think I've lost my mind
I'm in a field of clovers
I'm running forward, back to life
[Outro]
Sitting pretty, steady picking clovers
Finally, I feel I'm getting closure
Sitting pretty, steady picking clovers
Finally, I feel I'm getting closure
