Jason Derulo is dropping hot new music just in time for summer courtesy of his latest release, ‘Glad U Came.’
Produced by Pink Slip, Jakke Erixson, Sam Martin, Spencer Bastian, and Tor Eimon, the sizzling tune tells the story of being at the right place at the right time for love.
“Ooh, if we wouldn’t have danced all night (All night, danced all night) / Ooh, then we wouldn’t have talked outside (Outside, outside) / Out of all the things you could have done I’m glad you came tonight (Tonight),” Jason croons on the dancefloor-ready track.
Taking to the Web, Derulo doubled down on the song’s meaning.
“‘Glad U Came’ is beautiful love story about the power of destiny,” he said. “It’s one of my favorite songs I’ve ever done. Some songs come easy and some are real work records. I worked on this one for a couple years (started November 2021) chipping away at it, spending time away from it to get fresh perspective then attacking it again. I did this till I felt it was right.”
“Glad U Came”
I, I was ’bout to stay at home tonight (Yeah, yeah)
But my friend wouldn’t take “No”
Grab my money, keys, and phone and I was out
So girl, so girl (Yeah)
I saw you standin’ there across the room (Yeah, yeah)
I watched the whole room freeze when you looked back at me through the crowd
So girl, so girl
Ooh, if we wouldn’t have danced all night
Ooh, then you never would have been mine
Out of all the things you could have done, I’m glad you came tonight (Tonight)
Yeah, ooh, if we wouldn’t have danced all night (All night, danced all night)
Ooh, then we wouldn’t have talked outside (Outside, outside)
Out of all the things you could have done I’m glad you came tonight (Tonight)
You, you kissed me in the Uber (Uh, yeah)
We never made it to the room, yeah ’cause we did it in the pool, yeah
You could call it destiny (Yeah)
‘Cause, I found the best of me in you (So)
Ooh, if we wouldn’t have danced all night (All night, danced all night)
Ooh, then you never would have been mine (Never been mine)
Out of all the things you could have done, I’m glad you came tonight (Tonight)
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ooh
Out of all the things you could have done I’m glad you came tonight (Tonight)
I was at the right place at the right time
When we first came here, we was just strangers
The right place at the right time, yeah
When we dance slowly, was that meant to be?
Ooh, if we wouldn’t have danced all night (‘Cause if we wouldn’t have danced)
Ooh, then you never would’ve been mine, baby
Out of all the things you could have done, I’m glad you came tonight
‘Cause girl, love’ll make you sing
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ooh (Sing for me now)
Out of all the things you could have done, I’m glad you came tonight (Tonight)
Yeah
