love is just a word Lyrics
Love, there's nothing more to say
Every words already been written
Every chord, already played
You, make everything make sense
Every melody hits different
Every line and sentiment
Sounds brand new
After you
[Chorus: Jasmine Thompson]
Purple rain is only rain without you
Yesterday is just another day
Hallelujah is an old song by an old man in a suit
And I guess love, is just a word
Without you
[Verse 2: Calum Scott]
Trust, is something you can't fake
It's so delicate and fragile
And it's something you can't break
They call it luck, it's something you can't makе
It's a falling star you catch and then you hope to God it stays
And you caught me, and I caught you
[Chorus: Jasmine Thompson with Calum Scott]
Purplе rain is only rain without you
Yesterday is just another day
Hallelujah is an old song by an old man in a suit
And I guess love, is just a word
Without you
I'm half the man I'm supposed to be
Only one more thing to say
I fall in love more every day
When I'm with you
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
You're everything I need
The better part of me
[Chorus: Jasmine Thompson with Calum Scott]
Purple rain is only rain without you
Yesterday is just another day
Hallelujah is an old song by an old man in a suit
And I guess love, is just a word
Without you
[Outro: Jasmine Thompson with Calum Scott]
And I guess love, is just a word
Without you
You, there's nothing more to say
Every word's already been written
Every chord, already played

I went to Wales to work with the producer, Jon Maguire, and I remember having the opening lyric in my head. We spent two days working together and managed to make something we were both super proud of. A few months after the session, totally out of the blue, Jon messaged me with an updated version including Calum. It was so magical hearing his voice on it, and I felt so honored that he wanted to be a part of the song – it immediately felt like the missing link.
We had such a laugh, I couldn’t keep a straight face while recording. Jon had to stick us in separate rooms – but that voice… magical. The song was inspired by slow dancing around my kitchen during the lockdown. And it felt like I was hearing these love songs from my childhood with fresh ears and I really wanted to capture how they made me feel.
