Later, on October 2nd she publicly shared a link on her social media accounts so that everyone could presave the song with the followin...
[Intro]
Mm, mm, mm, ah
Mm, ah, ah
[Verse 1]
I see it on your face and on your mind
You see the cracks in the ice
Without my hand to hold
I'm the first to know
You're gripping on the waist of other times
Trying to make it suffice
To make it tangible
It's impossible
[Pre-Chorus]
Fears are only constellations (Ah)
Only glowin' if we make them, we're just fine (Ah)
If it's any consolation, you're my favorite (Ah)
It's you and I, you gotta know that, right?
[Chorus]
Isn't it obvious? (Ah-ah)
You know that we got enough (Ah-ah)
Isn't it obvious (Ah-ah)
That I'm sure? Mm-mm
Isn't it obvious? (Ah-ah)
You know that we got enough (Ah-ah)
Isn't it obvious (Ah-ah)
I'm all yours, all yours? (Ah-ah)
[Verse 2]
My picture in your wallet on display
But it's never the same
As laying close to you (I know)
I wanna be close to you (Be close to you, ah)
It's hard to feel you when you're far away
But you make it okay
'Cause if I'm loving you (I'm loving you)
I can never lose (Never)
[Pre-Chorus]
Fears are only false creations (Ah)
Just as vibrant as we paint them, we're just fine (Ah)
So if it's any consolation, you're my favorite (Ah)
It's you and I, you gotta know that, right?
[Chorus]
Isn't it obvious? (Ah-ah)
You know that we got enough (Ah-ah)
Isn't it obvious (Ah-ah)
That I'm sure? Mm-mm (I'm sure, I'm sure)
Isn't it obvious? (Oh no; ah-ah)
You know that we got enough (Yeah; ah-ah)
Isn't it obvious (Ah-ah)
I'm all yours (All yours), all yours?
[Guitar Solo]

While teasing the song on her social media, Alessia stated:
can’t wait for you to hear this one in full. One of my favourites on the album / that I’ve ever written.
She also mentioned how the writing process of song “slipped out of her naturally after having a conversation with someone”.
