about

Emma Edel is back with her second single ‘Meant To Be’ the follow up to her debut ‘If I Can’t Have You’. A dark Pop-R&B track, it infuses elements of her first single combined with an edgy, powerful, reflective mood. The song explores the theme of falling for someone when you least expect to but faith has brought you together. Discussing the early stages of getting to know someone, the realisation of your feelings, while never being on the cards or ‘meant to be’. Produced remotely over lockdown, with PCG Beats in Denmark & Emma in Kerry, it is the second single they have worked on together. This single is set to show another layer of Emma’s writing & performance style, and a stepping stone for the music she has planned for release this year.

lyrics

Tell me what it is you want
When nighttime falls and we’re alone
Tell me what it is you need
So no one really can compete

And though I said I’d be the one to stay a little
Longer so you never have to wonder
If the timings right but I’ll be waiting here tonight

Oh I know we were never meant to be
But something you said that night I trust
Your voice it took over me
One kiss I feel has turned to more
We’re leaving from this club what for
Your aftershave’s brought more
It’s brought you to my door
Oh I know we were never meant to be

We were nothing more than friends (friends)
Mutual ties led us to bed (us to bed)
Sunday mornings they became
A routine we couldn’t explain

We’ve locked lips now don’t know how this has come about
You’re staying over more don’t wanna kick you out
I’m catching signs hope it’s not feelings but I’m right
You’ve turned my head more than I’ve read

Oh I know we were never meant to be
But something you said that night I trust
Your voice it took over me
One kiss I feel has turned to more
We’re leaving from this club what for
Your aftershave’s brought more
It’s brought you to my door
Oh I know we were never meant to be

Oh oh oh ooooh (meant to be meant to be)
Oh oh oh aaaah

One kiss I feel has turned to more
We’re leaving from this club what for
Your aftershave’s brought more
It’s brought you to my door (brought you to my door)

Oh I know we were never meant to be
But something you said that night I trust (something you said)
Your voice it took over me (something you said)
One kiss I feel has turned to more
We’re leaving from this club what for
Your aftershave’s brought more
It’s brought you to my door (brought you to my door)
Oh I know we were never meant to be
