What have the artists said about the song?

“Wake Up Alone” questions superficiality in relationships. Jhene Aiko sings about her material success and how that leads her to question the integrity of her relationships. She acknowledges the fact that her achievements are magnetic but really wants to know if the people they’ve pulled into her life are truly interested in her as a person or what she can do for them. It’s an over sexualized story about finding success but regardless of that the fear of still being alone haunts us. The road is a lonely place, and even being surrounded by people all the time can make that even lonelier, it’s not a cry for sympathy but a statement about loneliness and finding meaning with important people. We admire Jhene for being such a strong willed artist and couldn’t ask for a better collaboration.

The Chainsmokers 他們自己怎麼說這首歌...?

“Wake Up Alone” 這首歌講述的是關於膚淺的感情關係。Jhene Aiko 唱出她的成名後所帶來的物質上的享受，以及這些所為她帶來的困惑：她的伴侶是真的愛她？還是只是愛她所擁有的物質享受？

[Verse 1]

Now I got cars, now I got clothes, now I got money

現在我有車 穿名牌衣服 有點錢了

Now I got crowds screamin' my name sayin' they love me

現在人們叫喊著我的名字說他們愛我

You got real close, say I'm not alone, you understand me

你接近我  告訴我我並不孤單 因為你懂我

But late at night, when I close my eyes, the quiet scares me

但夜深之時 我閉上雙眼 身邊卻是一片死寂

[Pre-Chorus]

Will you still care in the morning?

當太陽出來時 你還會關心我嗎？

When the magic's gone, gone, oh?

當熱情消逝之時？

And will you be there in the morning?

當早晨來臨之時 你會在我身邊嗎？

Do you stay when it all goes?

如果沒有這一切 你還會留下嗎？

Or will I wake up alone?

亦或是我將獨自醒來？

[Chorus]

Wake up alone

孤單一人

Wake up alone

獨自醒來

[Verse 2]

I don't need cars, I don't need clothes, forget that money

我不需要車 或穿名牌衣服 忘了那點錢吧

'Cause if I go home all on my own, it ain't worth nothing

Wake up alone

獨自醒來

孤單一人

Wake up alone

獨自醒來
