We Fell In Love in October: the lyrics & their meaning
We Fell In Love in October is a love song about a relationship that just started. As the singer commented for the release:
“I wrote it in 2015, and it’s basically the first song I wrote about a girl in the first relationship I had with a girl. I had broken up with my boyfriend and I’d been in this relationship with this girl and it’s just me declaring my love for this girl. Just screaming, “My girl, my girl!” twenty times in the chorus and sort of just owning it because I struggled a long time accepting it, and there was so much s**t going on with this girl, there was just so much drama. It’s about when things have kind of settled and I’m like F**k yeah, this is my girl. And you will be my girl. I don’t know, I love this girl.”
Thus, it’s her first relationship with another girl, and the singer finally accepts it as a new phase of her life. In the lyrics, Girl in Red admits that October is the month when she fell in love with her and that’s why she loves fall:
We fell in love in October
That’s why, I love fall
Looking at the stars
Admiring from afar

You look so pretty and I love this view
Don’t bother looking down
We’re not going that way
At least I know, I am here to stay
