He’s banking on her, ‘loving hands’ continuing to be around to accept him back when he begs to stay. Pretty much all the lyrics fit the contrived mentality of a chronic cheater who wants to continue with the ‘safe’ relationship despite his indiscretions.Įven parts that seemingly criticize her fits because that’s ‘what a cheater does- blames the other. The person doing the cheating is begging her to continue to do the song and dance of there push and pull relationship. This song very clearly seems to be written from a cheaters perspective. In fact concerning the UK Singles Chart this and another one of their tunes, “I Wanna Be Your Slave”, were in the top 10 at the same time. And in doing so, Måneskin became the first musical act from Italy, as well as the first act from Eurovision to have two top 10 songs on the UK Singles Chart simultaneously. And overall they have been one of the more successful bands on the UK Singles Chart during the middle part of 2021. This particular tune went on to be certified gold in Måneskin’s homeland of Italy, even though it didn’t perform that impressively there chart-wise. However, the song did reach number one in a handful of other countries, including Germany. And even more impressive is its overall global performance, having charted in over two dozen nations in total.Īmongst those accomplishments was appearing on the UK Singles Chart, where “Beggin’” peaked at number seven. And it also made an appearance stateside on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs listing.Ĭoncerning the bulk of that aforementioned chart and success, outside of Italy the most of it actually transpired in mid-2021. And that was as a result of the newfound popularity Måneskin had gained after participating in that year’s Eurovision Song Contest, where they came in first place. Måneskin’s VersionĪ couple of other artists have covered it to even greater overall success. One is a Norwegian group called Madcon, whose edition came out in 2007.Īnd then there is Måneskin, who dropped their cover in 2017. They featured it on X Factor Italia, with the quartet being contestants on the popular reality competition at the time. Ultimately they came in second place, but they proved popular enough to release an EP that same year entitled Chosen. And said EP features a number of songs they covered while participating on X Factor Italia, including Beggin’. The Four Seasons were the first musicians to drop a version of “Beggin’” back in 1967. And their rendition did manage to make it onto the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. This song was written by Peggy Santiglia and Bob Gaudio. The latter was a member of a group known as The Four Seasons. Perhaps presenting himself as the latter is his way to try to evoke sympathy from the apple of his eye.īut regardless as to the reason why she doesn’t want him at the moment, that fact still remains that she is indeed snubbing him, at least as far as being his lover is concerned. So by the looks of things, the vocalist will continue to ‘beg’ the addressee to be his lady until she finally gives in. But at others, he reads more like a genuine victim of unreciprocated love. That is to say that at one point in the song, he comes off as being a dude who messed up the relationships with his significant other. So again, it’s not exactly clear what’s going down here, besides the singer clearly wanting the person whom he is singing to. But in that particular passage, he also seems to be putting forth that it is actually the addressee who is missing out by not accepting his love. Indeed in the third verse he gets philosophical, seemingly questioning the human tendency to not appreciate “good sh-t” when we have it.
