Open Up is about confronting insecurities and the obstacles in a relationship.
On Open Up Reimagined, UMI transforms Open Up into a dance track, noting Spanish influences in her process.
[Verse 1]
I shouldn't lie to you
It wouldn’t be nice to you
If I wasn't being myself, yeah
Why I'm so scared of myself? Yeah
I couldn’t fight the truth
I wasn't getting over you
I shouldn't run from the bad times
'Cause
[Refrain]
Don't let go of what's in front of me
The pain in my soul is making it hard to breathe
And I should have known that I'm still the older me
See my journey onward, so
[Chorus]
I didn't mean to break your trust
I didn’t mean to make this tough
I’m scared I'm gonna pass you up
I really wanna show you love
Maybe who I be is enough
All I need is a hug
You know I never mean to fuck it up
Maybe I just need to open up
[Verse 2]
No more goodbyes
I’m scarеd to make you cry
Can't look you in the eyе
I prayed for peace of mind
And I shouldn't lie
I'm scared this isn’t right
I ain't used to nice
I ain't used to nice guys
[Refrain]
Don't let go of what's in front of me
The pain in my soul is making it hard to breathe
And I should have known that I'm still the older me
See my journey onward, so
[Interlude]
I really, I really wanna
Open up for you
I really wanna
[Chorus]
I didn't mean to break your trust
I didn't mean to make this tough
I'm scared I'm gonna pass you up
I really wanna show you love, and
Maybe who I be is enough, and
Maybe all I need is a hug, and
You know I never mean to fuck it up for you
I just need to open up for you
[Outro]
And open up
And open up
I really wanna open up for you
I really wanna open up for you
And, oh
No, no, no, no, no, no
Oh-ooh
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Open up, open up
