Swiping Right Or Left On Me

AN-26 · Reggae · 10 August 2026

“Swiping Right or Left on Me” is a lighthearted reggae song about modern dating, quick judgments, and the strange little world we’ve built inside our phones. One picture, three lines of text, one flick of a thumb — and apparently that’s enough to decide somebody’s entire fate.

But behind the joke is a simple thought: people are always more interesting than a profile card. You can’t hear kindness in a photograph, you can’t swipe right on somebody’s laugh, and sometimes the best part of a person takes a little longer than half a second to discover.

So whether you swipe left, swipe right, or just put the phone down and say hello — keep it easy, keep it human, and enjoy the groove. 😄📱🌴🎶

Lyrics

Oh yeah Everybody got a little screen these days One thumb making big decisions Easy now You saw my picture for a second or two Read three little lines, thought you already knew Maybe my smile was wrong, maybe my hat was right Maybe I survived your inspection tonight One little flick and I'm out of the race Sent to that mysterious digital place But before your thumb decides my destiny There's a little more than pixels here to see Are you swiping right or left on me? Tell me, darling, what did you really see? One little picture on your telephone Ain't enough to say you know me Swipe me left, swipe me right Make your mind up in the middle of the night But if you wanna know what's in my soul Put down the phone and say hello She says she loves long walks along the shore Everybody says that, I've read it before He says he's six foot two and loves to cook Funny how much taller people get inside a book Everybody's climbing mountains every week Everybody's funny, thoughtful, kind and unique Nobody snores and nobody gets mad And apparently nobody ever had a day that's bad Are you swiping right or left on me? Tell me, darling, what did you really see? One little picture on your telephone Ain't enough to say you know me Swipe me left, swipe me right Make your mind up in the middle of the night But if you wanna know what's in my soul Put down the phone and say hello Then I caught my finger doing just the same Picture, little bio, funny little name Left, left, right, moving down the line Giving every stranger half a second's time I laughed at myself and put the phone away Maybe there's a better way to spend the day If I want somebody looking deeper into me Maybe I should offer them the same courtesy Maybe you're messy, maybe I'm strange Maybe neither one of us needs to change Maybe your laugh is louder than I thought it'd be Maybe that's exactly what I need You can't hear kindness in a photograph You can't swipe right on the way somebody laughs Some of the finest things you'll ever find Need more than half a second of your time Are you swiping right or left on me? Tell me, darling, what did you really see? One little picture on your telephone Ain't enough to say you know me Swipe me left, swipe me right Either way, you know I'll be alright But if you wanna know what's in my soul Put down the phone and say hello Keep on swiping right or left on me We're all looking for some company Maybe love is waiting on your telephone Maybe love is somewhere down the road Swipe me left, swipe me right We can laugh about the whole thing tonight 'Cause the best part never fits upon a screen Come sit down and talk to me Right, left Left, right Oh, your poor little thumb working overtime Put down the phone Say hello You might like what you don't already know
