In 'If It's Magic,' Stevie Wonder crafts a beautiful tribute to love and its enduring, almost mystical qualities. The song explores the idea that true love is rare and precious, like magic, and should be cherished and safeguarded. Key themes include the timeless and unchanging nature of genuine affection, the importance of nurturing love, and the lament that not all love experiences this eternal quality. Poignant moments in the song come from lines that question why magical love would ever have to end or be lost, highlighting a deep sense of longing and appreciation.
