Better Give U Up

The song 'Better Give U Up' by French Kiwi Juice, popularly known as FKJ, is a poignant reflection on the complexities of love and the difficult decision to let go of a relationship that no longer serves both parties. The lyrics convey a deep sense of nostalgia and the struggle of moving on from an intense emotional connection. FKJ is known for his smooth electronic style, blending soulful melodies with elements of new-age funk and jazz, which adds a layer of introspection to the song's theme.

The opening lines introduce the listener to the artist's former lover as an obsession and a passion that once consumed him. The mention of 'another challenge' and the need for 'revenge, creation' suggests a desire for personal growth and transformation, indicating that the relationship may have become stifling. The imagery of eyes like 'a mirror and more a spell' captures the enchantment of love, but also hints at the eventual realization that their alignment ('Our minds were in a row') has faltered ('But look now unwell').

The chorus, 'Better give u up now somehow / But I'll never stop thinking of you,' encapsulates the heart of the song – the bittersweet acknowledgment that despite the deep emotional ties, separation is necessary. The repetition of this chorus emphasizes the internal conflict and the lingering attachment. The verses explore themes of regret, the pain of parting, and the haunting memories that remain ('My hands play your touch'). FKJ's lyrics poetically navigate the journey of accepting the end of a relationship while acknowledging the indelible mark it has left on his life.
