Songfacts®:

  • "4 Me" is a summer jam where Don Toliver and his real-life girlfriend Kali Uchis celebrate their commitment to each other.

    In the first verse, Toliver encourages Uchis to keep her head up amid unspecified challenges. Toliver's chorus is about his unwavering commitment to his partner. In the second verse, the couple let loose in a club and immerse themselves in the music. During the refrain, Uchis sings of being equally content with their relationship.
  • Don Toliver and Kali Uchis first collaborated in June 2021 for "Drugs N Hella Melodies" off Toliver's sophomore album, Life of a DON. "4 Me" is their second duet.
