New World Son's 'You Set The Rhythm' is a love song that uses the metaphor of a heartbeat to describe a transformative relationship. The singer reflects on a past of emotional emptiness and recklessness, but now feels his heart has been unlocked and given a new purpose by his beloved. The lyrics convey surrender and renewal, as he declares that his heart now beats only for this person. While the song could be interpreted as romantic, its language of surrender and a new start also resonates with themes of spiritual devotion and redemption.

I was unlucky in love,
I didn't know what a heart was,
Felt it beatin' in my chest,
But my best definition was a blood pump,
So why did it hurt,
When I was alone,
Why does it feel,
Like you've made it your own,
You are the master key
And my heart's unlocked
Now I think it beats just with you,
That's all it knows how to do,
I made a brand new start,
Now you set the rhythm of my heart,
You set the rhythm now,
You set the rhythm now,
I was a dangerous man,
I was a ruthless pretender,
Carried love like a sword,
But you're the one who made me surrender,
And now my heart's in a better place,
My heart's in a better place,
Now I think it beats just with you,
That's all it knows how to do,
I made a brand new start,
Now you set the rhythm of my heart,
You set the rhythm now,
Oh yeah oh yeah,
You set the rhythm now,
Whoa yeah,
C'mon,
Now I think it beats just with you,
That's all it knows how to do,
I made a brand new start,
Now you set the rhythm of my heart,
You set the rhythm now now,
You set the rhythm now,
You set the rhythm now now,
Ooh yeah!
