• Daniel Caesar teased this song with an Instagram post reading, "Spread love. Have babies."
  
  We don't think he's all that concerned about declining birth rates, but more into telling one of his typically emotional tales about a guy trying to make sense of a failing relationship. With his partner edging toward the exit, he comes up with a simple solution: let's have a baby.
  
  In the song, Caesar clings to the notion that the relationship can be mended with the right kind of glue. Trouble is, what his lover really needs is freedom.
• The outro flips the script entirely with a sample of Sizzla's 2002 reggae anthem "Woman I Need You," a track that radiates devotion. It's as if Caesar, after several minutes of doubt and bruised ego, decided to borrow a little sunshine from Jamaica to close things out. Hence Sizzla gets a co-writing credit.
• Speaking of writing credits, they're a sprawling bunch. Alongside Caesar are Bobby "Digital" Dixon, Jordan Evans, Mustafa, Les McCann, Bradley Brown, Dalton Brown, Dave Richards - and Paul Heaton, the sardonic genius behind The Housemartins and The Beautiful South. This is the man who gave us "Happy Hour," "A Little Time," and "Song For Whoever," the last of which cheekily lists women's names like a love-song laundry list. How his work ended up entwined with Caesar's ballad of desperate intimacy is not entirely clear, but one suspects a sly interpolation buried in the track.
• "Have A Baby (With Me)" is the opening track for Son of Spergy, an album where Caesar explores themes of religion and his relationship with his father. Caesar described the project as addressing "how we reject our parents' truths until we live them ourselves."
