The main narrative of this song is about a relationship between a man and a woman, and how the man wants to be with the woman. The whole song is from the perspective of the man. The lyrics in this song are very repetitive, this is because he is trying to get his point across to the woman. Another reason for repetitive lyrics is that they are a common convention of the pop genre because it makes it catchy and memorable. As the song is about love it will attract the attention of his female fans because they wish that they were the female character that he is singing about. This song would be targeted at people in the age range of teenager to late twenties because he is talking about what seems like a young and teenage relationship, this is portrayed by the language that is used. An example of this would be,
"i can see my, future in you (future in you girl)
got me lookin forward to, forever
cuz i can see"
The use of slang words such as "cuz" helps to relate to the younger audience as this is the language they use.
