What does it truly mean to be loved? JVKE’s latest single, Oh To Be Loved, from his eagerly awaited but unreleased 2025 album, dives deep into this question with his signature blend of soulful pop and R&B-infused vulnerability.

His genre fuses lush production, heartfelt lyrics, and cinematic vibes, often exploring love’s highs and lows, much like The Weeknd or Sam Smith but with a Gen-Z twist.
Oh To Be Loved is a tender ode to finding genuine connection, echoing the romantic and introspective themes of other album teasers like “Butterflies” and “Pretty” shared on his platforms. With lyrics like “Love is patient, love is kind,” JVKE reimagines timeless ideals through a modern lens, painting love as both painful and beautiful.

Lyrics of oh to be loved by JVKE
[Verse 1]
Love Is Patient, Love Is Kind
Love Is The Hardest Thing To Find
‘Cause I Thought That I Had Found It
A Good Thing Turned Bad And I Started To Doubt It
Now I’m Stuck Here Asking, Like
What Does It Take To Make It Past The Passion And Stick Through The Pain?
Wondering, Is It Even Out There?
’til You Came In My Life And Showed Me What It’s Like To Be Loved
I’ll Show You
[Chorus]
What I Would Do
What I Would Say
The Lengths I Would Go
To The Measures I’d Take To Be Loved
Oh, To Be Loved By
Oh, To Be Loved By
Someone Who Feels, Someone Who Cares
Someone Who’s Simply There
Oh, To Be Loved
Oh, To Be Loved By
Oh, To Be Loved By You
[Verse 2]
Love Is Painful, Love Is Hard
Love Can See Beauty Through The Scars
There’s An Art To The Anguish
A Brawn To The Brushstrokes
On Burgundy Canvas
No One Like You Got That
Perfect Type Of Love, Only From Above,
Nothing Like I’m Used To, Yeah
This Gon’ Take Some Getting Used To
Eternity Could Only Be The Right Amount Of Time
To Show How Much You Mean In My Life
I’ll Show You
[Chorus]
What I Would Do
What I Would Say
The Lengths I Would Go
To The Measures I’d Take To Be Loved
Oh, To Be Loved By
Oh, To Be Loved By
Someone Who Feels, Someone Who Cares
Someone Who’s Simply There
Oh, To Be Loved
Oh, To Be Loved By
Oh, To Be Loved By You
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, To Be Loved
Oh, To Be Loved By
Oh, To Be Loved By You
Ooh-ohh, Yeah
Oh, To Be Loved
Oh, To Be Loved By
Oh, To Be Loved By You
