Mad in Love

Jennifer Lopez's song 'Mad in Love' is a heartfelt ode to enduring love and the magic that comes with it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that has stood the test of time, with references to a letter and a ring symbolizing a long-lasting commitment. The phrase 'two decades later and it still hit the same' emphasizes the timeless nature of their bond, suggesting that the passion and connection have not waned over the years. This enduring love is likened to a heavenly experience, with the partner's return opening up the 'gates' to paradise, making the wait worthwhile and affirming the idea of fate.

The chorus, with its repetitive 'Ooh-ooh, you got me mad in love,' captures the overwhelming and all-consuming nature of this love. The use of 'mad' in love suggests a kind of passionate, almost irrational devotion that defies logic and reason. This is further reinforced by the line 'forever's real with ya,' indicating a belief in an everlasting bond. The song also touches on the idea of fairytales, with the lyrics 'Fairytales, thought they didn't exist' and 'Wished on a star and you showed me they did,' suggesting that the love they share is something magical and beyond ordinary experience.

In the bridge, Lopez describes a life of luxury and success, but underscores that the true 'star' and source of happiness is her partner. The imagery of 'stars in the roof' and 'the real one is you' highlights the idea that material wealth pales in comparison to the richness of their love. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of this 'mad in love' state, celebrating the joy and fulfillment that comes from being with someone who makes you feel like you're living a fairytale.
