About This Track

'Beg' is a study in romantic frustration, built on the tension between desire and withholding. Jack & Jack construct the track around a simple, repetitive plea: don't leave me hanging, don't mess me up, don't make me beg. The lyrics cycle through images of being used and discarded, of tasting something just enough to crave more, of patience wearing thin. The chorus hammers the refrain with mounting desperation, each repetition tightening the emotional screw. What gives the song its grip is the economy of the hook. There's no elaborate metaphor, no narrative arc; just a man at the edge of his tolerance, asking for basic reciprocity and fearing he won't get it. The production sits somewhere between pop and R&B, letting the vocal melody carry the weight whilst the rhythm stays lean and propulsive. It's a song about the specific ache of being wanted only on someone else's terms.

"Beg" is a single by Jack & Jack, released 22nd September 2017. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Beg

Soak you up, wring me out
Made me try a hundred times just to turn me down
Just to turn me down
A little time, a little tease
A little more of your kiss, what I really need
Yeah, I really need, yeah

Push me down to make sure that
I got a taste, got a taste
I don't know how, how much longer
I can wait, I can wait

Don't leave me low, don't leave me low
Don't leave me low, don't let me go
Don't mess me up, don't mess me up
Don't make me beg

Don't leave me low, don't leave me low
Don't leave me low, don't let me go
Don't mess me up, don't mess me up
Don't make me beg (don't make me beg for you, girl)

Know you well (well), know you want (want)
Everything for yourself, baby, give me some (give me some, yeah)
Won't you give me some? (Give me some, mmm), yeah
Use me once (once), use me twice (twice)
If you could, yeah, you would half a million times
But you never do me right (oh), yeah

Push me down to make sure that I (push me down to make sure that I)
Got a taste (I want some more), got a taste (babe, I want some more)
I don't know how, how much longer
I can wait, I can wait

Don't leave me low, don't leave me low
Don't leave me low, don't let me go
Don't mess me up, don't mess me up
Don't make me beg

Don't leave me low, don't leave me low
Don't leave me low, don't let me go
Don't mess me up, don't mess me up
Don't make me beg

Don't leave me low, don't leave me low
Don't leave me low, don't let me go
Don't mess me up, don't mess me up
Don't make me beg

Don't leave me low, don't leave me low
Don't leave me low, don't let me go
Don't mess me up, don't mess me up
Don't make me beg

Don't leave me low, don't leave me low
Don't leave me low, don't let me go
Don't mess me up, don't mess me up
Don't make me beg

Don't leave me low, don't leave me low
Don't leave me low, don't let me go
Don't mess (don't) me up, don't mess me up (up)
Don't make me beg

Soak you up, wring me out
Made me try a hundred times just to turn me down
