Oh no, did I get too close?
Oh, did I almost see what's really on the inside?
All your insecurities
All the dirty laundry
Never made me blink one time
[Chorus]
Unconditional, unconditionally
I will love you unconditionally
There is no fear now
Let go and just be free
I will love you unconditionally
[Verse 2]
So come just as you are to me
Don't need apologies
Know that you are worthy
I'll take your bad days with your good
Walk through the storm, I would
I'd do it all because I love you
I love you
[Chorus]
Unconditional, unconditionally
I will love you unconditionally
There is no fear now
Let go and just be free
I will love you unconditionally
So open up your heart and just let it begin
Open up your heart and just let it begin
Open up your heart and just let it begin
Open up your heart
[Bridge]
Acceptance is the key to be
To be truly free
Will you do the same for me?
[Chorus]
Unconditional, unconditionally
I will love you unconditionally
And there is no fear now
Let go and just be free
'Cause I will love you unconditionally, oh yeah
[Outro]
I will love you (Unconditionally)
I will love you
I will love you unconditionally
About
“Unconditionally” is a soaring ballad about accepting one’s lover, both his virtues and flaws. The song was released as the second single of Prism, and Katy Perry’s favorite song on the album.
Katy Perry, in an interview with KIIS FM, explained the songs’s meaning:
Not only is it about those different varieties of loves, it’s about when you are in love with someone and there’s full acceptance. The highs and the lows. All the flaws. The zits. The smells. The whole gamet, you know? Sometimes I remember being scared to be accepted in relationships and I know that everybody else goes through that and, ‘Will they love my true self? Will they love all the things that I do when nobody’s looking?
Katy Perry was appointed UNICEF’s Goodwill Ambassador in 2013. She had revealed that she was inspired to write this song as a result of a visit to Madagascar with UNICEF.
And so I went to the top of this mountain, I saw all these children, and the love that they had towards each other, they had no idea what Twitter or Facebook or any of that stuff was, they didn’t care about it.It was this unconditional love between all of them. It was that kind of pure love that’s unaffected by the trends of the world.
