About This Track

'Regardless' by Raye is a pop track from the album 'Euphoric Sad Songs' (2020). The lyrics sketch a late-night restlessness, with the speaker stuck awake and wanting a direct conversation, but trapped in the limits of distance and small talk. There is a sense of needing contact and honesty, even as the refrain-like phrasing circles the same emotional pressure point. The opening vocal turns on the wordplay of “regard-”, setting up a song about longing that cannot quite make it to the telephone, or to a proper shared moment.

"Regardless" is a track by Raye, from the album Euphoric Sad Songs, released 20th November 2020. The track is 3:18 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Raye.

Lyrics

Regardless

Oh, regard-, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
Oh, regard-, la-la-la
Oh, yeah

Now you got me up like
I hate wakin' up alone
Call me when you're heading home
I got things I need to say that I can't say to you over the telephone
Four, five glasses all alone
Boys and girls just come and go
I haven't seen you for a minute
I don't like it, not at all

One thing that I know
Is as hard as I try
I can't face the thought of you not being in my life

Regardless of the tears I cried for you today
Regardless of the words you think but never say
You're always in my mind somehow
Whether we're up or down
Regardless, regardless

Oh, regard-, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
Oh, regard-, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la

No, this house is not a home
When I'm sleepin' all alone
I'm used to havin', I'm on hold
And I can't touch you through the phone
Mhm, even when you treat me cold
I still got your T-shirt on
Haven't seen you for a minute
And I don't like it, not at all, ooh

One thing that I know
Is as hard as I try
I cannot face the thought of you not being in my life

Regardless of the tears I cried for you today
Regardless of the words you think but never say
You're always in my mind somehow
Whether we're up or down
Regardless, oh

Oh, regard-, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
Oh, regard-, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la

Oh, baby, why would you wanna make a girl, make a girl go so crazy?
The things that you do to me, ooh, it's as if you don't rate me, ah
Baby, don't play me, ah
This ain't no game to me, ah

Regardless of the tears I cried for you today
Regardless of the words that you think but never say
You're always in my mind somehow
Whether we're up or down
Regardless

Oh, regard-, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
Oh, regard-, la-la-la-la
Regard-, la-la-la-la, ooh, oh

Regardless, regardless
