"Locked Away" is a song byVirgin Islands production duoR. City featuring American singerAdam Levine, the lead singer ofpop rock bandMaroon 5. The song was released on June 29, 2015, byKemosabe Records andRCA Records.[1]

The song peaked at number six on theBillboard Hot 100, making it the duo's first top ten hit and Levine's first single that he did not co-write.

Composition

[edit]

Musically, "Locked Away" is adancehall andreggae fusion song.[citation needed] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Universal Music Publishing, the song is written in the key ofD♭ major with atempo of 94 beats per minute. The chorus follows a chord progression ofD♭–B♭m–G♭–D♭–A♭, the verses follow a chord progression ofB♭m–G♭–D♭–Fm, the bridge follow the progression Gbmaj7-D♭-B♭m-A♭ and the vocals span fromB♭2 toA♭4.[2] The melody in the chorus contains an interpolation ofDo That To Me One More Time by American duoCaptain & Tennille.

Meaning

[edit]

The meaning of the song "Locked Away" seems to ask if you would truly love someone for your whole life despite all the flaws which may arise. As Theron—one of the song authors—explain:

“Locked Away” is based on our parents. Our dad went to jail for five years, came out and became a trash man. Then he worked at the legislature as a security guard. He didn’t make real money, he was on drugs, did all kinds of crazy shit. But our mom held him down. Our parents been together for 38 years—they’re still together.With the success of being a songwriter, where you can get fly and have all this nice shit, we’re like, “You really like me? If I was fucked up, would you hold me down?"[3]

Remix

[edit]

The official remix is titled "Locked Away Again (The Remix)" and features an additional verse from American rapperLil Wayne. It cancels the bridge by R. City and replaces their first verse of the original song to the third verse. The second verse is the same as in the original song.

Music video

[edit]

Amusic video for "Locked Away" was released on August 14, 2015.[4]

The music video features four different families, a soldier leaving his family to return to service, a man (Theron Thomas of R. City) and a woman (Chantel K Davis) fighting to make ends meet, a man (Timothy Thomas of R. City) returning home to his child and the child's mother, and a father and daughter torn apart by an unlawful act. All suffering from vignettes of love, loss, poverty, and imprisonment, all set over Levine's crooned chorus "If I got locked away / and we lost it all today / tell me honestly / would you still love me the same?"

In the beginning of the video, a woman gets arrested, and a police officer gives her aMiranda warning, telling her: "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law."
