Jennie “Handlebars” Lyrics

I trip and fall in love
Just like a Tuesday drunk
I always go all in, all in, all in
Over the handlebars
Hitting the ground so hard
If I'm alone, fallin', fallin', fallin'
We ain't gotta talk about it

[Verse 1: JENNIE]
Mercy
Why is it love is never kind to me?
I heard that fools rush in and, yeah, that's me
It burns me time and time again
So why am I still fixing for this frying pan, thinkin'

[Pre-Chorus: Dua Lipa, JENNIE & Both]
I wonder what you're doing for tonight and forever (Oh-oh)
I could be the rest of your life or whatever
My lips and your lips, we could press them together ('Gether, 'gether, 'gether)
I don't ever think twice, and, baby, that's why

[Chorus: JENNIE & Dua Lipa]
I trip and fall in love
Just like a Tuesday drunk
I always go all in, all in, all in
Over the handlebars
Hitting the ground so hard
If I'm alone, fallin', fallin', fallin'

JENNIE

[Verse 2: Dua Lipa]
Another round, another drink
I try to stop, but I can't think
About anything else but you (But you)
And I'm a little too buzzed on your love to play it cute
A single kiss, I lost my mind for seven days and seven nights
Can't eat, sleep, baby, it's true (It's true)
Tryna bite my lip, I'm probably gonna slip
And say some crazy shit to you

[Pre-Chorus: JENNIE & Dua Lipa]
I wonder what you're doing for tonight and forever (Oh-oh)
I don't ever think twice, and maybe that's why

[Chorus: JENNIE & Dua Lipa, JENNIE, Dua Lipa]
I trip and fall in love
Just like a Tuesday drunk
I always go all in, all in (All in, all in), all in
Over the handlebars
Hitting the ground so hard
If I'm alone, fallin', fallin', fallin' (Fallin', yeah)

[Outro: Dua Lipa & JENNIE]
We ain't gotta talk about it
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na (Yeah)
We ain't gotta talk about it
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na
We ain't gotta talk about it

Jennie “Handlebars” Meaning

“Handlebars” is a bold, intoxicating take on the chaotic side of love, where emotions run wild, logic takes a backseat, and falling too fast feels as reckless as a drunken stumble. The song’s title reinforces this lack of control, painting love as an unpredictable ride where emotions take over.

“I trip and fall in love / Just like a Tuesday drunk,” they belt in the chorus, capturing the impulsive nature of their romantic pursuits. Alcoholic metaphors run throughout the song, with Dua Lipa singing about getting “a little too buzzed on your love” and reaching for “another round, another drink” despite knowing the risks.

JENNIE expresses frustration with love’s repeated heartbreak, admitting she rushes in despite knowing the risks. Lines like “It burns me time and time again” reveal her struggle, yet she remains drawn to love’s intensity. Dua Lipa expands on this theme, comparing infatuation to intoxication, where love clouds judgment and consumes her thoughts.

Despite their emotional turmoil, both singers choose to live in the moment, repeating “We ain’t gotta talk about it” as a way to embrace passion without overthinking. Through vivid metaphors and raw emotion, “Handlebars” perfectly encapsulates love’s exhilarating rush and the inevitable fall that follows.
