More Than a Feeling: Why “It Must Be Love” Perfectly Captures Falling Head Over Heels
Have you ever been so completely swept up by someone that you feel like you’re losing your mind just a little? One minute you’re freezing, the next you’re burning up, and your thoughts are stuck on a loop, playing back every moment you’ve shared. It’s that wonderfully chaotic, dizzying feeling that leaves you smiling for no reason and staring at the ceiling all night . If you know what I’m talking about, then you know exactly what “It Must Be Love” is all about.
This song is like a perfect snapshot of the moment you realize you’re falling, and there’s no turning back. It doesn’t just talk about love; it throws you right into the middle of it. The lyrics paint such a vivid picture of that delightful confusion—the “pain” in your heart that somehow feels good, the daydreams that feel more real than reality, and the overwhelming sense that this person is everything you’ve ever wanted.
What I adore about this song is its honesty. It doesn’t romanticize love into something neat and tidy. Instead, it celebrates the messy, all-consuming, slightly-insane experience it truly is. It’s in the way the singer declares, “You must be the dream I’ve been dreaming of”, capturing that surreal feeling when you meet someone who feels like they were made just for you. It’s that beautiful certainty that cuts through all the confusion and makes you think, “Yep, this is it. It has to be.”
So, if you’ve ever found yourself in that happy, bewildered state, give this song another listen. It’s a warm, comforting reminder that you’re not alone in your beautiful chaos. It’s a celebration of that universal, heart-pounding journey that, for all its madness, we wouldn’t trade for anything in the world. Because when it feels this strong, it can only be one thing: love.
