  • Kelela premiered this dreamy song about finding new love during Ebro Darden's October 5, 2017 Beats 1 Radio show. Speaking to Ebro about the track, Kelela said it is "about the moment when you break up with people after you're single; you're sort of in this moment where you're like, 'I'm not doing anything serious. I'm not trying to get into anything deep. Gotta like take it slow. Not trying to do that.' And then you hit this point when you're with somebody where you're like, 'F--k it, blue light.'"
