I O U Lyrics
[Verse 1]
With a voice just like a razor
Only time can erase you
The memory of you is unclear
In my rear view, you disappear
When familiar turns foreign
You know there's discord in the chorus
Usually I would've folded but
[Pre-Chorus]
But not tonight
I ain't gonna be alone, I ain't gonna be alone
But not tonight
I ain't gonna be alone, I ain't gonna be alone, oh
[Chorus]
I, I, I, I, I
'Cause I owe you, you, you
Yeah, I owe you, you, you
And I'm talking about you, you, you
I'm talking about you, you, you
[Verse 2]
Oh, I want to hear your story
Whilst I work through your inventory
Your one-liners leave a shiner
You're not sober, and I'm not either
Oh, I wouldn't say I'm perfect, you can tell that from the surface
But I'd like to know your verdict, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause tonight
Yeah, I wanna take you home
Yeah, I wanna take you home
'Cause tonight
You shouldn't have to be alone
You shouldn't have to be alone, oh
[Chorus]
I, I, I, I, I
'Cause I owe you, you, you
Yeah, I owe you, you, you
And I'm talking about you, you, you
I'm talking about you, you, you
[Bridge]
Your decision, for my admission
Was a plot twist, I must have missed it
Now that we're, a work in progress
I guess that I, should be honest
I don't know, where this will go
But I O U
[Chorus]
I, I, I, I, I
'Cause I owe you, you, you
Yeah, I owe you, you, you
And I'm talking about you, you, you
I'm talking about you, you, you

How did the song come together?
“We wrote this track when we went on a writing trip all together. We like to go secluded places and just live inside each other’s musical minds. No distractions. We were listening to hip hop. Everything from NWA to Kendrick. We collectively became obsessed with making a song that made us feel like w...
What inspired it?
“This song is about a beautiful stranger. Who owes you nothing but gives you so much. In a new situation where you don’t even know what any of it means. You don’t if and what a future looks like with that person but you’re just grateful they’ve been in your life. IOU. Simple. IOU for making this poi...
What was the process of making the song like?
“I remember our producer Dan Austin saying if we ain’t going to go for this fearlessly then let’s not bother. You wanna make a hip hop RnB song with guitars, then that’s what we do, but we do it with conviction. We manipulated a bass tone for the chorus and wanted to make it as lower frequency as po...
