I just feel like this video captures the rawness of a black woman’s desire for love.

Yooooo thought similar and also how people shouldn't judge us.. some one would see for instance her green hair and write her off not even seeing this side .. we are multifaceted

This song is pure vibes, it’s one of those tragic romances. Hope her talent reaches the heights she aspires to want it to be.

[@alilextraerin]

wow I’m happy I found this a whole bop

[@diyenlightmentpath6102]

Something about this Southern/Old School theme that is so original. It isn't meant to scream THE BEST VIDEO for ratings, Certainly not meant to be flashy. This is Just to make you Reminesce about them old school days when you had those first big crushes and such.. When a CRUSH was a CRUSH for your physical look, but also your true personality. Makes you want to hop in a time tunnel sometimes!

[@jamia4758]

I love the normality of this. smooth & free but refreshing too. The song, lyrics and the video is a whole vibe. I’m glad KZbin recommended this to me and I actually watched. I’m a fan 🖤

[@Aylaahh]

I love the fact that their not wearing make up, it's very satisfying.

Dash 101 she definitely has on foundation, brows, and mascara. But yes, very satisfying.

@Ricardo Cadet dude, you can't get mad because some people picked up on the fact that she has an obvious Sza influence. I mean, she of course has her own style as well, but her sound is definitely derivative of Sza's.
