Mahalia finally getting the recognition that she deserves 🧡💯👏🏽🙌🏽

[sofiak]

This interview gives me a whole other insight on this song, I love this song and I thought it was about a guy breaking up with you and trying to still hit you up and get back with him

[_AIAH_]

She so aptly captures that feeling of apathy you get in a relationship when you just want out.

[atinukeladipo]

Damn, I remember when this song came out. I dug it without fully comprehending the lyrics. 2 years later I land on this video and completely identify with what she's saying. Not many songs come from the perspective of the heartbreaker, the one who needed space and kept dodging texts from them when you're trying to move forward.

[ctpdpwn]

Thought she had no forearms from the thumbnail

[lanapeters]

I love Mahalia so much! I m so excited to see this video

[DjRiches]

she should have mentioned she sampled wstrn

[EclecticThree]

This was not long enough felt like 2 mins 😭😭❤️❤️

[JeovanyTello]

The explanation makes the song 1000x better

[cameronlighten]

She's becoming one of my favorite artists to listen to.

[afaaf]

i love love love mahalia im so glad shes finally on here

[h.b]

And not a single reference to the fact the 'texting' lyrics are taken straight from a WSTRN track? I'm confused...

[snatchedwig]

I’ve never been more happy or proud in my entire life! WE LOVE YOU MAHALIA❤️❤️❤️❤️

[Blue-Lights]

I love this song, I'm so happy they did this video!

[SunLuuOfficial]

Peeped this song as being on my ex's playlist she released on IG. Loved this song before then but I had never seen myself as the subject matter. Now I'm pretty sad... Still grateful to know what my ex might be feeling through these lyrics. Here's to becoming a better man.

[Pixiez]

wow I relate to this so much. So glad I watched this video. What a meaningful song. Amazing job.

[TheT]

I been there. Sometimes you want to pursue yourself and your goals. Know she’s a recording artist. 😢

[callieharlan]

[junonathan]
