The lyrics of “What Love Is Not” are both catchy and profound, touching on themes of unhealthy relationships and emotional complexity. McKenzie sings, “I believe in butterflies, but I believe between your thighs is something that holds the power to it all. Maybe we should slow down, it’s too late, he’s got me now.” The song cleverly illustrates the emotional ebb and flow of a toxic relationship.
The chorus, “Cause all that I know is that I’m in love. He’s telling me things just to butter me up. Just to make me happy, so he can make me sad. That he needs therapy and I need me some rehab,” delves into the paradox of love and dependency. “I believe true love is what we’ve got ‘cause I don’t know what love is not.”
McKenzie uses her vocals as an instrument, intricately layering harmonies to create a soundscape that mimics various instruments. This technique adds an extra layer of depth to the song, making it both bold and relatable. What Love Is Not‘s structure and emotional intensity make a compelling statement on the complexity of love and relationships.
“I don’t like drama, is this my karma?”
“We live in a world where both women and men try to use sex for power when really, it’s a gift. And if you let the wrong individual open that present, you could be giving a lot of control to the wrong person. I wrote this song about my own shortcomings in love, and this is a lesson I had to learn the hard way. ‘Don’t confuse your feelings. There’s no sexual healing when you don’t know who you’re sleeping next to.’” — McKenzie Knapps explained
Overall, “What Love Is Not” is catchy, and bold, and offers a poignant look at the dynamics of unhealthy relationships. If you’re a fan of music that combines lyrical depth with innovative production, this track is worth a listen.

“I believe in heartbreaks, but I believe headaches can somehow trick your heart into crying. Choose to see what I want ‘cause I can’t help but want what I see, wish my friends could tell I’ve been trying.” – lyrics
