As a filmmaker, I am constantly seeking inspiration from various forms of art. Whether it’s a beautifully shot film, a captivating painting, or a thought-provoking song, art has the power to evoke emotions and make us reflect on our own lives. One song that has resonated with me recently is “Never Been In Love” by Will Jay.

I first heard this song on a lazy Sunday morning. My friend was hosting a small gathering at her house, and amidst the conversation and laughter, this song played softly in the background. I remember catching snippets of the lyrics and feeling instantly drawn to its message.

“Never Been In Love” is an honest exploration of the concept of love and relationships. Will Jay, with his melodious voice, asks the listener if they ever wanted someone who will never let them go, someone who knows their body better than they know themselves. These lines immediately struck a chord with me.

In today’s society, there is tremendous pressure to find love and settle down. We are bombarded with images of perfect relationships and #couplegoals on social media, often making us feel inadequate if we haven’t experienced love in the same way. Will Jay acknowledges this societal pressure in the song, but also offers a fresh and empowering perspective.

“I’m not missing someone that I’ve never met
Maybe a little scared, still I don’t care
I’m not missing out so don’t ask me again
Thanks for your concern, but here’s the thing”

These lyrics remind us that it’s okay to be single and not rush into a relationship. We don’t have to conform to societal norms or timelines. It’s about finding peace and contentment within ourselves, regardless of our relationship status.

Furthermore, the music video for “Never Been In Love” adds another layer to the song’s meaning. Directed by Ernie Vasquez and animated by Bruno Gowtham, the video beautifully depicts a world of animation and vibrant colors, representing the freedom and joy that can come from embracing one’s singlehood.

Listening to this song reminds me of my own journey in navigating love and relationships. There was a time when I felt the pressure to be in a relationship, fearing that I was missing out on something special. However, as I’ve grown older and wiser, I’ve come to realize that being single doesn’t mean missing out. It’s an opportunity for self-discovery, personal growth, and chasing my own dreams.

“Never Been In Love” by Will Jay is not just a catchy pop song, but a powerful anthem for those who have yet to experience love or choose to embrace their singlehood. It’s a reminder that we are complete and whole on our own, and that love will come in its own time.

Next time you find yourself questioning your relationship status or feeling the pressure to be in love, I encourage you to listen to “Never Been In Love” and be reminded of the beauty and freedom that can be found in being unattached. Embrace your journey and trust that love will come when the time is right.
