“WHEN YOU’RE SOBER” sees Miles encouraging people to fall in love with the hopes that they will still feel the same way the next morning when they are sober.
The track was first teased on September 22, 2021, when Miles previewed to his fans the song’s chorus for his YouTube series, WHOLE LOTTA LIFE...
[Intro]
Yeah, mmm, pretty when you're sober
Think I'm pretty when you're sober
[Chorus]
Everything that glitters, oh, it ain't gold
If she pour me up a little, then it's over (Then it's over)
How you poppin' off from every angle?
I hope you think I'm pretty when you're sober (When you're sober)
Keep that energy
Keep it for me, I'm in need (Oh, I'm in need)
Oh, I'm in need, got me weak
All in my knees
Really hope you think I'm pretty when you're sober (Think I'm pretty when you're sober)
[Verse 1]
Back it up, a back it up (Back it up)
Tried to do the math, but this ain't addin' up (This ain't addin' up)
How you move like that and think of stackin' up?
Got my brain hurtin' tryna rack it up, rack it up (Rack it, rack it up)
City girl, she actin' up, baddie, baddie, bad as fuck
Holy moly, bustdown Rollie, fitted down and tatted up
Look at me like batter up, tryna ride, saddle up
Shawty come alive in the nighttime, Dracula
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, what's your day like?
I'm just tryna make it through the daylight
I been on the move, I can make time
Only if you promise not to play nice, play nice
[Chorus]
Everything that glitters, oh, it ain't gold
If she pour me up a little, then it's over (Then it's over)
How you poppin' off from every angle?
I hope you think I'm pretty when you're sober (When you're sober)
Keep that energy
Keep it for me, I'm in need (Oh, I'm in need)
Oh, I'm in need, got me weak
All in my knees
Really hope you think I'm pretty when you're sober (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
You been workin' on yourself, girl, you shinin' (You been workin')
Caught you on a good night, perfect timing (Perfect timing)
Hard to miss you when you're glittered down in diamonds
You whispered in my ear like you the finest
And had my mind racin', I couldn't take it
There wasn't time for conversation, just booty-shakin'
We in the club like it's a basement, bedroom adjacent
Talking about prior engagements, I'm glad you changed them (You came to hang with us)
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, what's your day like? (Tell me what your day like)
I'm just tryna make it through the daylight
I been on the move, I can make time (I been on the move)
Only if you promise not to play nice (Play nice)
[Chorus]
Everything that glitters, oh, it ain't gold
If she pour me up a little, then it's over (Then it's over)
How you poppin' off from every angle?
I hope you think I'm pretty when you're sober (When you're sober)
Keep that energy
Keep it for me, I'm in need (Oh, I'm in need)
Oh, I'm in need, got me weak
All in my knees
Really hope you think I'm pretty when you're sober
