About this song

The song was released as the final single from 6LACK's debut album, FREE 6LACK. It gained popularity after Kylie Jenner lip-synced it in a Snapchat video, which made it one of his best-known songs. It also earned a nomination for Best Rap/Sung Performance at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards.

What it's about

Set over a dark ambient R&B sound, the song portrays a toxic, complicated relationship in which both partners have problems. 6LACK admits his own part in how things turned out, expresses frustration and detachment, and wants to move on, unsure why he keeps swinging between wanting love and wanting to be alone.
