Discover the story of the song > Naked – James Arthur

The protagonist is asking his partner if they can take their relationship to the next level, but she is too scared and not reciprocating his efforts. He feels like he's giving his all, but she only messes things up and gives him nothing in return, so he decides to stand up for himself and be true to his own feelings. He's not going to wait for her to figure things out, he's standing there "naked" (vulnerable) waiting for her to truly commit to the relationship or let him go.
