While reflecting on the mistakes her past lover made throughout their relationship, “Seven Times” sees La Havas wishing for peace in his life, praying that he surmounts his battles.
The song takes its name from Psalm 119:164 in the Bible, which states:
Seven times a day I praise you for your right...
[Intro]
Yeah, that's a good intro
[Verse 1]
Mm, you didn't pay your rent
So I guess you'll be leaving
You made promises that you won't be keeping
Oh, you can't spend my love, I'm living for free now
What used to be means nothing to me now
[Chorus]
All night, all day, all night and day
I cry and pray, I cry and pray
All night and day, all night and day
All night, all day, I cry and pray
I'll cry and pray, all night, all day
(All night, all day)
[Verse 2]
You've gotta hold your heart but I don't think you're ready
Could forgive, forget, I know I'd regret it
Oh, so don't hold your breath because I'm easy breathing
I've gotta find my friends, I guess I'll be leaving, oh
[Chorus]
All night, all day, all night and day
I cry and pray, I cry and pray
All night and day, all night and day
All night, all day, I cry and pray
I'll cry and pray, all night, all day
All night, all day
[Bridge]
You know it when you know that it's wrong (Know that it's wrong)
It's hard to admit it, so you sing along
Better be strong (Oh)
When you feel like you're losing your mind (Losing your mind)
You better read between the lines seven times
[Outro]
All night, all day, all night and day
I cry and pray, all night, all day
All night, all day, all night and day
I cry and pray, I cry and pray
All night and day, all night and day
All night, all day, I cry and pray
I'll cry and pray, all night, all day
(All night, all day)
All night, all day, all night and day
I cry and pray, all night, all day
All night and day, I cry and pray
All night, all day, all night and day (All day)
I cry and pray, all night, all day
(I cry and cry, all night and day)
All night, all day, all night and day
I cry and pray, all night, all day
All night and day, I cry and pray
All night, all day, all night and day
I cry and pray, all night, all day
All night and day, I cry and pray
Seven, seven times

My Blu Cantrell moment. Again, it’s that R&B which was a really big part of my musical upbringing. I was on a bit of a journey, I think, at this point, and I was finding my confidence and finding my own voice again. I was having an okay time. I was feeling very free and feeling like I’d come hom...
In terms of inspiration, I was listening to Destiny’s Child and Milton Nascimento on the same day. The rhythm of Brazilian music was in and needed ot manifest itself somehow. As as the defiant independent narrative. Nascimento is one of the great Brazilian artists diving into all kinds of Bossa nova...
