What We Are Lyrics

[Intro: Joe Jonas]
One, two, three

[Verse 1: Joe Jonas]
At school, were you cool? Were you crule?
Little heartbreaker making all the boys cry?
Don’t lie, don’t lie
Look back, picture that, backwards hat
Wear it different now, still make the boys cry
Don’t lie, don’t lie

[Pre-Chorus: Joe Jonas]
Conversation’s coming to it naturally
So go ahead and ask me, baby, “What are we?”

[Chorus: Joe Jonas]
What we are (Ba-ba, ba-da), is a lot (Ba-ba, ba-da)
Tell you what (Ba-ba, ba-da), we are not (Ba-ba, ba-da)
Not our past (Ba-ba, ba-da), our mistakes (Ba-ba, ba-da, our mistakes)
Free at last (Ba-ba, ba-da), and that makes (Ba-ba, ba-da)
Yes, it makes what we are

[Bridge: Joe Jonas]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh

[Verse 2: Luísa Sonza]
Pretend we’re in Rio and everything feels so good it shouldn’t be right
Would you let it be right? It could be right
Tem sinais que a alma compreende, preciosidade que acende
Nós dois, nós dois
É olho no olho que se entende, ferida que dói não se sente
Nós dois, nós dois

[Pre-Chorus: Luísa Sonza]
Tudo que eu senti um dia, tudo que eu pude saber
Tudo que eu tinha, todas frases clichês, guardei pra você

[Chorus: Joe Jonas, Joe Jonas & Luísa Sonza]
What we are (Ba-ba, ba-da), is a lot (Ba-ba, ba-da)
I’ll tell you what (Ba-ba, ba-da), we are not (Ba-ba, ba-da)
Not our past (Ba-ba, ba-da), our mistakes (Ba-ba, ba-da, our mistakes)
Free at last (Ba-ba, ba-da), and that makes (Ba-ba, ba-da)
Yes, it makes what we are

[Outro: Luísa Sonza, Joe Jonas, Both]
What we are, mm (Huh, breathe into it)
Breathe into it (Breathe into it)
Breathe into it (Oh)
Breathe into it (Breathe into it)
Breathe into it (Guess it made what we are)

What We Are Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Joe Jonas]
Joe opens the track with a simple count-in, signaling a fresh start or the beginning of a heartfelt dialogue. It sets a casual, spontaneous tone that matches the conversational nature of the lyrics.

[Verse 1: Joe Jonas]
Joe reminisces on Luísa’s younger self with curiosity, mixing light teasing with admiration. He probes into her past, asking if she used to be the heartbreaker who now appears changed. The repetition of “Don’t lie” adds a playful intimacy, suggesting comfort and familiarity in their dynamic, while subtly questioning how much people truly change.

[Pre-Chorus: Joe Jonas]
Here, Joe acknowledges how easily their conversations flow, highlighting emotional chemistry. The moment he invites the question “What are we?” underscores the uncertainty that often arises in deepening relationships, marking a shift from playful reflection to a more serious emotional inquiry.

[Chorus: Joe Jonas]
The chorus asserts that their relationship is defined not by past missteps but by their present freedom and connection. Joe clarifies that while their pasts may have shaped them, they do not limit what they can become together. It’s a declaration of emotional growth and the choice to define their love on their own terms.

[Bridge: Joe Jonas]
The bridge is a brief vocal interlude where Joe’s soft “oohs” serve as a reflective pause, giving emotional breathing room between verses. It allows listeners to sit with the song’s message before transitioning to Luísa’s perspective.

[Verse 2: Luísa Sonza]
Luísa paints a dreamy picture of love in Rio, suggesting that their connection feels too good to be true—yet she questions why it shouldn’t be real. Her Portuguese lines explore the soul’s intuitive understanding of love, describing a bond that’s deeply felt and beyond rational comprehension. There’s a sacredness and spontaneity to her depiction of “us two.”

[Pre-Chorus: Luísa Sonza]
Luísa expresses that everything she’s ever felt or known about love, even the clichés, she’s saved for this moment. This part emphasizes intention and emotional investment, revealing her vulnerability and sincerity in the relationship.

[Chorus: Joe Jonas, Joe Jonas & Luísa Sonza]
Sung together now, the chorus reflects a mutual understanding. Their harmonized vocals underline the idea that both have accepted each other’s pasts and are choosing to embrace their future together. It reinforces the central message: they are not defined by their history but empowered by the freedom to love authentically.

[Outro: Luísa Sonza, Joe Jonas, Both]
The outro is a soft, repeated invitation to “breathe into it,” symbolizing acceptance, presence, and emotional grounding. It suggests that what they have is worth nurturing with care and intention. Their voices overlapping evokes unity and peace, closing the song with a sense of calm resolution.
