Born Again Lyrics — LiSA (LALISA)

Album: Alter Ego

Born Again by LiSA (LALISA)

[Intro: LISA & RAYE]
(Ooh) If you tried just a little more times
I would've made you a believer
Would've showed you what it's like (I would've showed you)
Every single night (Night)

[Verse 1: LISA & RAYE]
In the car, top down, black shades on, uh (Lookin’ so good, can I add?)
And I just broke up with my man, like mm (A very, very silly, silly man)
One ex in the passenger seat 'cause I'm done (Done, yeah, never, ever goin' back)
Down, down, rude boy, get your foot up on my dash
Got all the receipts, I'm a businesswoman
Little bit of heartbreak
A little bit of "How could you do that?"
A little bit of talkin' out your ass
A little bit of "Look at what you had but could not hold"
And that's on you, baby, too bad
I'm about to make it heard as I vroom-vroom
Ice-cold how I leave you 'lone, but please
Tell your mother I'ma miss her so

[Chorus: RAYE & LISA]
If you tried just a little more times
I would've made you a believer
Would've showed you what it's like (Like)
Every single night
To be born again, baby, to be born again
If you stayed just another few nights
I could've made you pray to Jesus
Would've showed you to the light (To the light)
Every single night (Every night)
To be born again, baby, to be born again

[Verse 2: Doja Cat]
Non-believer
You’ve bitten from the fruit but can't give back
Nice to leave ya
But I would be a fool not to ask
Do your words seem gospel to ya now? (Your words seem gospel to you now?)
Keepin' me strong
Choosin' to carry on after one
Too many lies would be wrong, so wrong
Said, he popped tags on my shopping spree
Stayed mad when I showed him all the long receipts
They laugh, but you crashed out like a comedy
I can't be your sugar mom, get a job for me, sh*t
(Ah, so) Boy, let go
Or let me live happily forever after more
I hope you learned somethin' from a lil' fiasco
You played the game smart lettin' lil' me pass go 'cause

[Chorus: LISA & RAYE]
If you tried just a little more times
I would've made you a believer
Would've showed you what it's like (Like)
Every single night (Night)
To be born again, baby, to be born again
If you stayed just another few nights
I could've made you pray to Jesus
Would've showed you to the light (To the light)
Every single night (Every night)
To be born again, baby, to be born again

[Bridge: RAYE]
Seasoned like the cinnamon the way I'm gettin' rid of him
I'm only gonna make you need religion at the minimum
And I'ma do it diligent, I'm lookin' for a synonym
I'm tryna find the words to tell him I ain't even feelin' him (I pray)
Don't ever let me be deficient in
Wish that you could wake up and then take me like a vitamin
I learned the hard way to let go now to save my soul (Oh)

[Chorus: RAYE & LISA, LISA, RAYE]
If you tried just a little more times
I would've made you a believer
Would've showed you what it's like (Like)
Every single night
To be born again, baby, to be born again
If you stayed just another few nights
I could've made you pray to Jesus
Would've showed you to the light (To the light)
Every single night (Every night)
To be born again, baby, to be born again

[Outro: LISA, LISA & RAYE]
Baby, to be born, oh, baby, baby, to be born again
To be born again, baby, to be born again
Baby, to be born, oh, baby, baby, to be born again (Yeah)
To be born again, baby, to be born again

Exploring the meaning of "Born Again"

"Born Again" marks a pivotal moment for LISA, showcasing her versatility beyond BLACKPINK. This high-energy collaboration with Doja Cat and RAYE blends catchy disco beats with introspective lyrics that explore personal growth, the end of toxic relationships, and self-empowerment. The song conveys a sense of liberation after heartbreak, with the artists narrating their experiences of being "reborn" following emotional turmoil. The verses by LISA and RAYE depict their struggles in love and heartbreak. LISA sings about a breakup, reflecting on her ex's mistakes and expressing confidence in moving on. "If you tried just a little more times, I would've made you a believer" is the hook, hinting at how the relationship could have been salvaged with more effort, but now it's too late. The recurring theme of "born again" implies a transformation, a fresh start away from the past. Doja Cat's verse adds a fiery twist, with her bold lines about walking away from a man who made empty promises. She speaks from the perspective of someone who’s learned to value themselves, free from emotional manipulation. This confidence is reinforced by RAYE's bridge, where she tells her partner she’s moving on and no longer needs them. "Seasoned like the cinnamon the way I'm getting rid of him," she declares, highlighting her growth and readiness to face new beginnings. The use of "born again" resonates as a metaphor for personal rejuvenation—leaving behind old wounds and embracing the future with strength and wisdom.
