More Than a Feeling: Why “It Must Be Love” Perfectly Captures Falling Head Over Heels
Have you ever been so swept up by someone that you feel just a little bit out of control? One moment you’re shivering, the next you’re burning up, and your thoughts keep circling back to that one person who suddenly means everything. It’s the dizzying, chaotic rush of falling in love—the kind that leaves you smiling for no reason and lying awake at night replaying every moment. That’s the essence of “It Must Be Love.”
This song feels like a snapshot of the very moment you realize you’ve crossed the line from infatuation to something much deeper. It doesn’t just describe love; it throws you right into the middle of it. The lyrics capture the paradox so well—the “pain” in your heart that somehow feels sweet, the dreams that blur with reality, and the undeniable sense that you’ve found exactly what you’ve always been searching for.
What makes the song so powerful is its honesty. It doesn’t dress love up as neat and polished. Instead, it embraces the truth: love is messy, overwhelming, and sometimes a little crazy. When the singer confesses, “You must be the dream I’ve been dreaming of,” it perfectly captures that surreal moment when someone feels like they were made just for you. Amid all the confusion, there’s that one clear realization—this is it. This has to be love.
If you’ve ever found yourself in that whirlwind of joy and bewilderment, this song is a comforting reminder that you’re not alone. It celebrates the universal experience of falling head over heels, with all its madness and beauty. Because when the feeling is this strong, there’s only one explanation: it must be love.
