Song Meaning of “Sweet Nothing (feat. Florence Welch) – Dirtyloud Remix” by Calvin Harris
This infectious electro-pop remix of Calvin Harris’ 2012 hit ‘Sweet Nothing’ is all about not being content with what one has, even when it’s seemingly perfect. He’s singing about how it’s possible to overanalyze a situation if nothing else is going on, even when everything is going well. He’s telling his lover that it’s alright to just be and not try and find something that’s not there. Florence Welch’s soaring vocals add a plaintive quality to the track, further emphasizing Harris’ message of acceptance. Though he’s singing about something he knows isn’t really there, he’s telling his beloved to appreciate those moments together, as they are fleeting. In the end, he knows that those moments are often all we have, and even if they seem like sweet nothing, there’s still something special that needs to be savored.
