As Kelela told The Fader, this song is about having a relationship with someone who is younger than you:

[Intro]
When you’re riding
Down (at night)
At night
But (you) say
[Verse 1]
The only way to sum it up
Is falling roller-coaster rush
I’m doing things that I don’t do
So comfortable when I’m with you
Kinda took me by surprise
I love it and I don’t know why
You shot it and you got it
And I don’t wanna fight it
So hold me while were taking this ride
[Pre-Chorus]
You, when it's good I'm questioning
You, then I stop to take it in
Is my head in the way?
Cause my heart can't explain
Where we going now?
Build it up, we tear down
Cared before but baby
Now I don’t give a fuck
[Chorus]
All the way down
On a one way to you
I'm on my way down
No matter what you're going through
[Verse 2]
I’m staying over at yours tonight
I'm calling late let’s exercise
There’s something buried in your eyes
Draws me in and I can’t hide
I’m clocking in today I'm on one
I came in hard I hope you don’t run
I tell him all about it but even I would doubt it
They never seen the things that you do
[Pre-Chorus]
You, when it's good I'm questioning
You, then I stop to take it in
Is my head in the way?
Cause my heart can't explain
Where we going now?
Build it up, we tear down
Cared before but baby
Now I don’t give a fuck
[Chorus]
All the way down
On a one way to you
All the way down
No matter what you're going through
[Bridge]
Take it in, Take it in
All I wanna do is
Stay with it, stay with it
And I know that you won’t
Play with it, play with it
Are you ready? Hold on
Take it in, Take it in
All I wanna do it
Stay with it, stay with it
And I know that you won't
Play with... hold on
[Pre-Chorus (Variation)]
When it’s good I’m questioning
You, then I start to take it in
Is my head in the way?
Cause my heart can't explain
Where we going now?
Build it up, we tear down
Cared before but baby
Now I don’t give a fuck
[Chorus (Variation)]
All the way down
All the way down
All the way down
All the way down
Baby what you wanna do?
All the Way Down was written by SADPONY & Tinashe & Talay Riley & Jess Glynne & Kelela & Ariel Rechtshaid.
All the Way Down was produced by Dahi.
Kelela released All the Way Down on Fri Oct 09 2015.
Dahi and I linked up earlier this year, and he played me a version of the same instrumental that was potentially going to be on Tinashe’s album, but didn’t make it. Basically, I was like, “Yes, the chorus melody is so good. I need to call her right now and see if she’s down to let me use that melody...
I was having the experience of dating someone who was younger than me. The song is about abandoning unnecessary rules and focusing on things that do matter when it comes to relationships […] In terms of sonics, it’s very much like drunk sex. It sounds very disoriented [but] also so coherent. I’m in...
