[Verse 1]
Wonder what I'll do when the cops come through
And the whiskey's run out
'Cause I've been lookin' at you since half past two
Wanna take this downtown?
This liquid courage got me way too honest
Put your phone on vibrate, let's catch a vibe, babe
While the sun's down
Hush now, I know we're a little too fucked up to stay still, love
Be as quiet as you can, 'cause if anyone sees
They'll just blow shit up
I don't gotta know if you're taken
I'll just let ya know bedroom's vacant
No one's gotta know, just us and the moon 'til the sun starts wakin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Up's the only direction I see
As long as we keep this
[Chorus]
Low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low-key (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
You ain't even gotta lo- lo- lo- lo- lo- lo- lo-love me (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Us in a king-size, keep it a secret
Say I'm your queen, I don't wanna leave this
Low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low-key
[Verse 2]
Wizard with words tellin' me my energy's so bewitchin'
So I'll go first, there's an open bar, let's close this distance
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh my, don't make me have to spell it
All, all, all, all, all night
I don't really give a fuck 'bout all the 'he said, she said' bullshit
So pick your poison, love, let's go somewhere a little more exclusive
Take a shot, take a chance, take my hand, boy
Tension so intense like an asteroid
Be discreet, gotta dodge all the tabloids
[Pre-Chorus]
Let's not think too much, there ain't no problems
So long as we keep this
[Chorus]
Low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low-key (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
You ain't even gotta lo- lo- lo- lo- lo- lo- lo-love me (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Us in a king-size, keep it a secret
Say I'm your queen, I don't wanna leave this
Low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low-key
[Outro]
Low-key, low-key
Low-key, low-key

The song is actually a really interesting one, because I actually wrote it way back in 2018 when I was first releasing my EP, my first EP. And I wrote it, I produced it, but it just didn’t feel right. It was just like an intrinsic feeling. I was like, this isn’t right right now, so it kind of got sh...
I get asked if this song is based on real-life experience, and my answer to that is yes, and no, because it’s such a common narrative that I feel like everybody goes through at some point in their life. It’s based on multiple chunks of experiences that I’ve woven together, but it’s like, it wasn’t o...
“Lowkey” is probably one of my favorite songs I’ve ever done high-key, because everything about it is so subtly ironic, and I just personally tend to gravitate towards songs that contain some level of duality, or dichotomy, or irony to some extent. People too, actually. Everyone in my life is a fuck...
