In an interview, the singer explained,
"I’ve been on tour with SZA, I’ve lived a little life, I’ve gained friends, been in relationships, been out of relationships, experienced what I was talking about in the songs that I was writing before I even experienced them. With this project, it is very mature. It feels evolved, and I pray my fans hear that and feel that through the music as well."
As for the MV, it reflects a story-esque video reflecting the yearning and chaos of the mind. It depicts the blurry line between heartbreak and hallucination.
This feeling reflects in the chorus of the song.
Is this really love?/If you don't say the word anymore/If I'm not enough/ Let me know when you find what you're looking for
