Before I Do Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I heard about you and your other situation
Through word of mouth
They made it seem so complicated
Is it over now?
Or did you just say it 'cause you're anxious?
To get closer now
'Cause I want you to be all over me
[Pre-Hook]
Truthfully (Truthfully)
Honestly (Honestly)
I need, I need, I need to believe
I wanna let go, but I don't really know
I heard you got a girlfriend (Girlfriend)
Say it ain't so, you ain't on the low
I don't think I could handle it
I wanna go to another level, with you
[Hook]
But before I do
I wanna know before I go there with you
Oh yeah, so tell me you're through
I need to know before I go there with you
[Verse 2]
I heard about, heard all about your reputation
You know word gets around
Tell me you got an explanation
'Cause I need to know
Is it nothing?
Is it something?
Ohh, just keep it real with me
[Pre-Hook]
Truthfully (Truthfully)
Honestly (Honestly)
I need, I need, I need to believe
I wanna let go, but I don't really know
I heard you got a girlfriend (Girlfriend)
Say it ain't so, you ain't on the low
I don't think I could handle it
I wanna go to another level, with you
[Hook]
But before I do
I wanna know before I go there with you
So tell me you're through
I need to know before I go there with you
[Bridge]
It's unfair, 'cause baby in my mind, ohh
We should be together, whoa
I wanna let go, but I don't really know
I heard you got a girlfriend (Girlfriend)
I'm tryna go, to another level, with you
[Hook]
But before I do
I wanna know before I go there with you
So tell me you're through
I need to know before I go there with you
[Outro]
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

How does Sevyn describe this song?
I feel like everybody can kinda relate to it, because it’s really just saying, “Before I allow myself to fall for you, I need you to reassure me that you’ll be able to catch me.” I think it’s something that a lot of people can relate to because dating is very scary. Allowing yourself to be vulnerabl...
How did the songwriting process work?
This song was written by myself, another writer named Micah, and I don’t know if you remember the group Cherish, but one of the writers in Cherish—her name is Felisha. They had already started it when I got it, and I loved it so, so, so much, because it just felt really good. And I remember we had a...
How did Sevyn link up with the Stereotypes, who co-produced the song?
I love the Stereotypes. I’ve always been a really huge fan of theirs, and we’ve done a couple of records together before. I just love their musicianship on this record. And I remember when we went back in to add finishing touches, I really wanted the guitar melody to follow what the hook was doing....
There's a reference to Aaliyah’s "At Your Best" on this song. Was Sevyn a fan?
Aaliyah’s influence is all in throughout all of my music, truth be told. I was always obsessed with her. I will always be obsessed with her. But with “Before I Do,” in particular, I just wanted to do my best Aaliyah impression. Because I love how she made us feel. I love how her voice felt when bein...
