“Free Spirit” is the title track of Khalid’s Sophomore album, which was released on April 5, 2019.
On “Free Spirit, Khalid is ready to let go of all of his worries and live his life in its purest form, and he invites someone around him to do the same.
[Verse 1]
We were running onto something
And we didn't say "forever," but it's all we wanted
You were so in love with simple things
And now we're searching for the fire dripped in kerosene
I've been loving more, living less
Off of highs and lows, so obsessed
Couldn't get nothin
But we're never running out
[Chorus]
We'll be free spirits, free spirits
Can you hear me calling?
Oh, it's all or nothing
When you're free spirits, free spirits
Can you hear it calling?
'Cause I don't wanna live and die alone, don't let me go
[Verse 2]
Is this Heaven or Armageddon?
I'll be gettin' high with you to watch the endin'
We were drownin' down our memories
A cemetery full of bottles, man, that liquor bleed
When you're loving more, caring less
It's the highs and lows with no regrets, oh
And we wanted it all then
But we're never running out
[Chorus]
We'll be free spirits, free spirits
Can you hear me calling?
Oh, it's all or nothing
When you're free spirits, free spirits
Can you hear it calling?
'Cause I don't wanna live and die alone, don't let me go
[Bridge]
So tell me when you're falling
No, I can never doubt your love
Can you hear me calling?
Is it everything you're dreaming of?
Leave it all on the night
As long as you're not leaving me behind
On your heart, your heart, ah
[Outro]
Free spirits, free spirit
Free spirits, free spirit

“Free Spirit,” the title track, took me the longest to write. I’ve been holding on to that since May of last year and finished writing that song in February 2019.

I wanted to make sure I wrote the title track after the album was done. I feel like it’s better to wrap everything up and find the common theme. “Free Spirit” is those first few steps into the world, when you realize that the world is not as easy as you planned it to be. In high school, we all have...
