He first previewed his new song during his online concert that he performed for fans just days ago, and now John Legend has returned with the studio version of his single “Actions.” The Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter’s career has been intimately woven with hip hop, so it’s no surprise that Legend samples a rap classic, putting a spin on Dr. Dre’s “The Next Episode” featuring Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, and Nate Dogg—a song that samples David Axelrod and David McCallum’s “The Edge.”

On “Actions,” John Legend laments over a love gone wrong as he takes the blame for not putting forth the proper energy into his relationship. As he says in the chorus, “actions speak louder than words.” It doesn’t seem like he has to worry about those issues in his real life as he often boasts about how happily married he is to entrepreneur wife Chrissy Teigen. Listen to “Actions” by John Legend and let us know what you think.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Hey, yeah
La-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da, la-da

[Verse 1]
La-da-da-da-da, here I go again
With another love song that I wasted
Just another love run out of patience
She don’t want it, she don’t need it
Every other word coming from my pen
She throw back in my face, saying, “Where you’ve been?”
I sound so poetic but it feels like I let it slip away, slip away

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna show my love is strong
Make her feel it when I’m home
No faking, no mistaking
She can feel me when I’m gone

[Chorus]
Actions speak louder than, speak louder than, speak louder than love songs
The melodies they carry on
Actions speak louder than, speak louder than, speak louder than love songs
I’ve been doing it all wrong

[Verse 2]
La-da-da-da-da, here we go again
Just a couple of friends with some benefits
She gave me all of her love then I waste it
I wrote a new song, then erased it
Oh, every other thing that I’ve said before
Said you don’t wanna hear about it anymore
I feel so creative but it feels like there’s nothing left to say, to make you stay

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna show my love is strong
Make her feel it when I’m home
No faking, no mistaking
She can feel it when I’m gone

[Chorus]
Actions speak louder than, speak louder than, speak louder than love songs
The melodies they carry on
Actions speak louder than, speak louder than, speak louder than love songs
I’ve been doing it all wrong

[Bridge]
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da away (La-da-da-da-da)
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da, all day
She don’t wanna hear, don’t wanna hear a word I say, a word I say
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da away (La-da-da-da-da)
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da, all day
She don’t wanna hear, don’t wanna hear a word I say, a word I say

[Chorus]
Actions speak louder than love songs, speak louder than love songs
The melodies they carry on
Actions speak louder than love, woah, speak louder than love songs
I’ve been doing it all wrong
