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

[@LMICUK]

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

[@kentiastrickland2556]

[@kenpinzky4798]

If you can pay for advertisement on KZbin why not recommendation ?

[@shautysexiey]

The song is smooth, it has a nice medium groove, laid back. I love how "normal" everyone looks in this video.

[@angelinebena9675]

That’s an awesome point

[@2BOLD4U]

My favorite line is: "I don't wanna play no games boy, I don't wanna be your gameboy."

[@ronycamacho7132]

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.

[@hasinaaaa3457]

4 years later & I still love this song 🤎✨

[@lejohnson32]

If she can do the “heel toe” she a keeper man!!! 🙌🏾

[@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!

[@zenshellsllc.9528]

This song aligned my chakras, YES!🔥

[@-M0LE]

ZenShells same all her music does this and an artist called SICKICK

[@jamia4758]

[@wondaprince3264]

Never heard of her but glad I did now. She'll go higher and positive places if she keeps it 100 and be her true self musically. Gwaan Girl!!!

You the type to love me from a distance? Is you running when I'm snapping pics While we kiss on a late night baby Fore we start It Up, for we start It Up Cuz I love too hard And I fall even harder Trust too much So I push even farther Give my all is that something that you can Do? Do? Do? I'm being honest, I don't wanna play no games boy, I don't wanna be your gameboy Or a temporary love toy Fore we start It Up, fore we start It Up All they ever wanna do is hit this That's the kind of dudes I got to dismiss Ones who love you when it's convenient Need someone who's gonna believe in it Fore we start It Up, fore we start It Up Cuz I love too hard And I fall even harder Trust too much So I push even farther Give my all is that something that you can Do? Do? Do?

@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.
