About This Track
'Addicted' opens Jorja Smith's 'Be Right Back' with a rock-inflected production built from wispy keyboards, a stuttering snare drum and smoky guitars. The song sits at the emotional centre of the project: a meditation on dependency and the ways we cling to people and habits when we know they're harming us. Smith's soulful voice drifts across the instrumental, lending the track a laid-back restraint that belies the intensity of what she's describing. The lyrics trace the logic of addiction with precision, moving between the voice of someone watching a loved one spiral and the voice of someone caught in that spiral themselves. There's a selflessness here that reads as complicity, a willingness to be needed that mirrors the subject's inability to quit. The chorus loops the central tension: "you should be addicted to me" becomes both plea and indictment, a statement of desire twisted into something darker. A Dork four-star record.
"Addicted" is a single by Jorja Smith, from the album Be Right Back, released 13th May 2021. The track is 3:24 long. It's filed under R&B/Soul. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Jorja Smith.
