“Jigsaw” is the fourth pre-release single of Japanese-American singer, Conan Gray’s upcoming sophomore album.
“Jigsaw” follows the pop-ballad style that is used in most of Conan’s songs, mixed in with rock elements played during the chorus and further on in the song. The song is lyrically about changing yourself into someone you aren’t in order to fit the interest of your crush/lover and do anything for them.
The term “jigsaw” is used in this song to showed that you jumbled and something that isn’t in it’s normal state. A jigsaw (usually known as a jigsaw puzzle) is a mixed-up puzzle that is formed together in small pieces with distinctive edges that interconnect with each other. This relates to the subject matter in the song as it represents how Conan is messed up and different from his normal self from trying to please another person.
Originally, Conan created this song as a diary entry and had no intention of releasing it but decided to share a snippet of the song on his secret TikTok account on December 5, 2021, the day of his birthday.
Conan Gray – Jigsaw (prod. Dan Nigro)
[Intro]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
[Verse 1]
If changing my clothes would make you like me more
If changing my hair would make you care
Then I’d grab the kitchen scissors
And cut myself to slivers
For you
If being more polite would keep you satisfied
If being less insane would make you stay
Then I’d be more like my sister
Say, “Thank you Ma’am and Mister”
To you, for you
[Chorus]
I’ve changed every part of me
Until the puzzle pieces aren’t me, at all
I look in the mirror, now I’m just a jigsaw, ah-ah, ah
Ah, ah-ah
You take every part of me, all of thе things you need
Then the rest you discard
I look in thе mirror, now I’m just a jigsaw, ah-ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
[Verse 2]
All I did just to make you happy
Still you don’t even fuckin’ love me
(Jigsaw, jigsaw, jigsaw, jigsaw)
Killin’ parts of myself to fit you
Clear as shit I was not the issue
If I made you like me, would I even like myself?
Pointin’ out all my flaws doesn’t help
[Bridge]
Why don’t you love me?
Don’t you love me?
[Chorus]
I’ve changed every part of me
Until the puzzle pieces aren’t me, at all
I look in the mirror, now I’m just a jigsaw, ah-ah, ah
Ah, ah-ah
You take every part of me, all of the things you need
Then the rest you discard
I look in the mirror, now I’m just a jigsaw, ah-ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
