“Memories” by Lojay featuring Tyla is a raw and introspective track centered on the lingering pain and inescapable emotional ties following a breakup. The lyrics vividly describe being haunted by the past, where “old memories” constantly resurface, making it complicated to move on.
The song details a toxic and cyclical relationship, touching on themes of lies and cheating, yet highlighting the deep, almost possessive hold the two still have on each other. Despite the broken trust, there is a powerful physical and emotional connection that prevents true release, as one partner feels they are “in your celly and you no want release me.”
Ultimately, the track captures the feeling of heartbreak and the frustration of yearning for a lost love, acknowledging that moving on is a complicated process when the shared history and moments they created continue to torment them. The mix of Afrobeats, Amapiano, and R&B perfectly underscores the mood of regret, nostalgia, and a complicated desire to reconnect.
Lojay & Tyla – Memories Lyrics
And I’ll slide through in my Jeep
Man, we settle all the issues when we get underneath
I say, “I see you,” on your post and delete it
I see you tired of the lies and the cheating, you know
Oh, no one, oh
“It’s not mine” if he notice any make up on the crease of my sheets
Hop in the back, I bet no one believe me now
Say if he never love again, I’m the reason, you know
Say I remind you of the old memories
I’m in your celly and you no want release me
Can we connect it to the old memories?
La-eh-ah-lo, oh-eh-yeah-lo
Say I remind you of the old memories
I’m in your celly and you no want release me
Can we connect it to the old memories?
La-eh-ah-lo, oh-eh-yeah-lo
La-la, la-la-ray-la-ray-la-ray
Oh, na-na-la-la, la-la, la-la
Hopefully I was enough for you
La-la, la-la-ray-la-ray-la-ray
Oh, na-na-la-la, la-la, la-la
Hopefully I was enough for you
La-la, la-la-ray-la-ray-la-ray
Oh, na-na-la-la, la-la, la-la
Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh
The memories haunting me
I can’t fall asleep, no
When I move on, you make it so complicated
Could have gave me love, but instead, you donate it
When I move on, you gave up what we created
Now I got to dream to see you and I hate it
Say I remind you of the old memories
I’m in the celly and you no want release me
‘Cause we connected to the old memories
Oh-I-I-eh, oh-hey-hi-ho
Say I remind you of the old memories
I’m in your celly and you no want release me
‘Cause we connected to the old memories
La-eh-ah-lo, oh-eh-yeah-lo
La-la, la-la-ray-la-ray-la-ray
Oh, na-na-la-la, la-la, la-la
Hopefully I was enough for you, my darling
La-la, la-la-ray-la-ray-la-ray
Oh, na-na-la-la, la-la, la-la
Hopefully I was enough for you
La-la, la-la-ray-la-ray-la-ray
Oh, na-na-la-la, la-la, la-la
Hopefully I was enough to you
La-la, la-la-ray-la-ray-la-ray
Oh, na-na-la-la, la-la, la-la
