Wrong Places Lyrics by Joshua Baraka

Who can you love, who can you love baby
Who can you love, who can you love
Who can you love, who can you love
B′raka yea! yea!

Party starter (starter)
Taking that liquor no chaser
Every guy mad over you
They wanna buy you with paper (yea! yea! yea! yea!)
Only wanna have a good time
So you put a new strain in your rizzler (yea!)
Never want to be alone
So you go dancing with strangers (yea! yea! yea! yea!)

Looking for love, looking for love
In all the wrong places
You’ve been running from life but you cannot hide
Baby let′s just face it
Who can you love if you don’t love yourself?
And you feel like you don’t matter
You feel like nobody understands
Tomanyi najoyagala genda

Baby I′m right here (ahh huh!)
When you need to roll one (ahh huh!)
I′ll pass you the lighter (ahh huh!)
Even if it breaks my heart (heart)
Baby I’m right here (ahh huh!)
When you need to roll one (ahh huh!)
I′ll pass you the lighter (ahh huh!)
Even if it breaks my heart (heart)

E’yea e′yea yea ah-ah
Yea uh-uh uh uh uh yea
Yea uh-uh, yea uh-uh, uh uh uh yea

I know it’s really hard sometimes
Seated in the corner as the walls closing in
So you choose to ski snow flake in the summer
Cut lines and you′re feeling irie
Baby I’m not judging you
You’ll always be my chargie my baby boo
Feel like the world is against you
But I′m always beside you

Looking for love, looking for love
In all the wrong places
You′ve been running from life but you cannot hide
Baby let’s just face it
Who can you love if you don′t love yourself?
And you feel like you don’t matter
You feel like nobody understands
Tomanyi najoyagala genda

Baby I′m right here (ahh huh!)
When you need to roll one (ahh huh!)
I’ll pass you the lighter (ahh huh!)
Even if it breaks my heart (heart)
Baby I′m right here (ahh huh!)
When you need to roll one (ahh huh!)
I’ll pass you the lighter (ahh huh!)
Even if it breaks my heart (heart)

E’yea e′yea yea ah-ah
Yea uh-uh uh uh uh yea
Yea uh-uh, yea uh-uh, uh uh uh yea
Yea uh-uh, yea uh-uh uh uh uh yea
Yea uh-uh, yea uh-uh, uh uh uh yea

About "Wrong Places"

Song Meaning

Joshua Baraka’s Wrong Places lyrics carries a mellow beat and addictive melodies that has taken over the public especially on TikTok. Join the trend and interact with fans around the world.

Here is a break down of the song meaning of Wrong Places Lyrics by Joshua Baraka.

“Party starter (starter) / Taking that liquor no chaser / Every guy mad over you…”

This sets the stage — the girl is the life of the party. On the surface, she looks carefree, popular, and desired. But this is a mask, a way to cope with something deeper.

“Never want to be alone / So you go dancing with strangers…”

She’s avoiding loneliness. These behaviors point to temporary distractions from inner emotional wounds. Many Ugandan fans relate to this — seeing beyond surface joy to underlying pain.

Pre-Chorus:

“Looking for love in all the wrong places… / You’ve been running from life but you cannot hide…”

Here, Baraka gently calls out the search for validation — the emotional spiral of partying, substances, or flings. The lyrics empathize but also challenge self-awareness.

“Who can you love if you don’t love yourself?”

This line is the heart of the song. It’s soul-searching, pointing to how love must begin internally. It’s had fans commenting:

“The melodies hit so hard… I can’t get over this.” – @andrewkimbugwe9470
“Too soulful… Joshua is too talented.” – @Madrine-xv2mz

Chorus:

“Baby I’m right here… / I’ll pass you the lighter / Even if it breaks my heart”

This is powerful: Baraka offers unconditional presence. He’s the one person who stays, even if it hurts. The “lighter” is symbolic — helping her cope, even if he’s enabling her pain.

“That assurance like even if it breaks my heart.” – @wassajjakenneth3195
“Please make a longer version… we here for it!” – @sharondesmonah4060
