I love this beat. I love tropical sounding beats. I always think of Muppets Vacation. Kokomo. “That’s where we wanna go.” I always get excited when I hear tropical beats.
I’m definitely a huge fan of Travis. I think he merges that super-fine line between melody and syncopation and pocket. And I love his pockets, and I love his note choice. He’s just gnarly. He’s perfect.
This song describes her lust for a past lover, recovery after a remorseful relationship, and recovery after a loveless affair. SZA puts herself first after recovering and can be depicted that she does not go back to the way she was prior to recovering. Travis plays past lover and unhealthy relations...
