Bim explained on her Instagram account the meaning behind her debut single:
“There is a sweet spot that exists when two people decide they want to share every bit of the same space. #OTR sits in that sweet spot.”
[Intro]
On the regular
[Verse 1]
We laugh
And we joke as you smoke
All my points to pieces
With all of your theories
Almost convinced
That you are the smarter
And I won't admit it
Never admit
[Verse 2]
I smile
As you wave at me
Walking through doors I just entered like you already miss me
And I hope that you do
'Cause I know how I feel when you're not around
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh the echo of me sounds so good
Tumbling out of your mouth
Not a word ever goes to waste
And I'm wondering, how does it taste?
[Chorus]
I-I-I-I-I-I
Wa-a-a-a-a-anna be the only thing you're thinking about
(Abou-ou-ou-ou-out)
On the regular (On the regular)
I-I-I-I-I-I
Want to be the only thing you're thinking about
On the regular (Yeah, yeah)
On the regular
[Verse 3]
So we smile
As my mind flips through phases
You never break gazes
You're breaking me down
So I lose my composure
In a room full of strangers
I can only see you
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh the echo of me sounds so good
Tumbling out of your mouth
Not a word ever goes to waste
And I'm wondering, how does love taste?
[Chorus]
I-I-I-I-I-I
Wa-a-a-a-a-ant
To be the only thing you're thinking about (Abou-ou-ou-ou-out)
On the regular (On the regular)
I-I-I-I-I-I
Want to be the only thing you're thinking about
On the regular (Yeah, yeah)
On the regular
[Bridge]
Echoes of me
Tumble out your mouth
How does my love taste?
[Chorus]
I-I-I-I-I-I
Wa-a-a-a-a-ant
To be the only thing you're thinking about (Abou-ou-ou-ou-out)
On the regular (On the regular)
I-I-I-I-I-I
Want to be the only thing you're thinking about
On the regular (Yeah, yeah)
On the regular
[Outro]
I-I-I-I-I-I (Want to be)
Wa-a-a-a-a-ant
To be the only thing you're thinking about (Thinking about)
On the regular
On the regular
