LISA “BORN AGAIN” Lyrics

[Intro: LISA & RAYE]
(Ooh) If you tried just a little more times
I would've made you a believer
Would’ve showed you what it's like (I would've showed you)
Every single night (Night)

[Verse 1: LISA & RAYE]
In the car, top down, black shades on, uh (Lookin’ so good, can I add?)
And I just broke up with my man, like mm (A very, very silly, silly man)
One ex in the passenger seat 'cause I'm done (Done, yeah, never, ever goin' back)
Down, down, rude boy, get your foot up on my dash
Got all the receipts, I'm a businesswoman
Littlе bit of heartbreak
A little bit of "How could you do that?"
A littlе bit of talkin' out your ass
A little bit of "Look at what you had but could not hold"
And that's on you, baby, too bad
I'm about to make it heard as I vroom-vroom
Ice-cold how I leave you ’lone, but please
Tell your mother I’ma miss her so

[Chorus: RAYE & LISA]
If you tried just a little more times
I would've made you a believer
Would’ve showed you what it's like (Like)
Every single night
To be born again, baby, to be born again
If you stayed just another few nights
I could've made you pray to Jesus
Would've showed you to the light (To the light)
Every single night (Every night)
To be born again, baby, to be born again

Get tickets for your favorite artists


[Verse 2: Doja Cat]
Non-believer
You’ve bitten from the fruit but can't give back
Nice to leave ya
But I would be a fool not to ask
Do your words seem gospel to ya now? (Your words seem gospel to you now?)
Keepin' me strong
Choosin' to carry on after one
Too many lies would be wrong, so wrong
Said, he popped tags on my shoppin' spree
Stayed mad when I showed him all the long receipts
They laugh, but you crash out like a comedy
I can't be your sugar mom, get a job for me, shit
(Ah, so) Boy, let go
Or let me live happily forever after more
I hope you learned somethin' from a lil' fiasco
You played the game smart lettin' lil' me pass go 'cause

[Chorus: LISA & RAYE]
If you tried just a little more times
I would've made you a believer
Would've showed you what it's like (Like)
Every single night
To be born again, baby, to be born again
If you stayed just another few nights
I could've made you pray to Jesus
Would've showed you to the light (To the light)
Every single night (Every night)
To be born again, baby, to be born again


[Bridge: RAYE]
Seasoned like the cinnamon the way I'm gettin' rid of him
I'm only gonna make you need religion at the minimum
And I'ma do it diligent, I'm lookin' for a synonym
I'm tryna find the words to tell him I ain't even feelin' him (I pray)
Don't ever let me be deficient in
Wish that you could wake up and then take me like a vitamin
I learned the hard way to let go now to save my soul (Oh)

[Chorus: RAYE & LISA, LISA, RAYE]
If you tried just a little more times
I would've made you a believer
Would've showed you what it's like (Like)
Every single night
To be born again, baby, to be born again
If you stayed just another few nights
I could've made you pray to Jesus
Would've showed you to the light (To the light)
Every single night (Every night)
To be born again, baby, to be born again

[Outro: LISA, LISA & RAYE]
Baby, to be born, oh, baby, baby, to be born again
To be born again, baby, to be born again
Baby, to be born, oh, baby, baby, to be born again (Yeah)
To be born again, baby, to be born again

LISA “BORN AGAIN” Meaning

Lisa’s “Born Again” is a declaration of self-liberation and empowerment. Representing the transformation into a New Woman, the track encapsulates Lisa’s journey of breaking free, embracing confidence, and stepping into her own power. As part of her upcoming album “Alter Ego,” the song reinforces themes of self-assertion and the limitless strength of women.

Lyrically, “Born Again” serves as a breakup empowerment anthem, with Lisa, Doja Cat, and Raye detailing the regret of an ex who failed to appreciate them. Lisa opens the song by boldly severing ties—”Breaking up with my man like mm-hmm”—while the chorus reinforces what he lost: “If you tried just a little more times, I would’ve made you a believer.” The message is clear: these women are reclaiming their worth.

Visually, the music video mirrors this journey of rebirth. The trio transitions from somber black attire, symbolizing the mourning of a past relationship, to ethereal white and silver ensembles, embodying newfound freedom and self-love. The high-budget production, blending classic elegance with modern edge, solidifies “Born Again” as both a sonic and visual masterpiece.
