*Lyrics*
[Verse 1]
It's just you, it's just me
I lost you in dreams
Now I'm falling
Please don't catch, let me break
Into pieces of hate
Still I'm soaring


[Pre-Chorus]
Kind of sad but you remind me
You remind me of a love that I once knew
Kind of sad but you remind me
You remind me of a love who outgrew me too


[Chorus]
He released me into orbit
Still I found a way to navigate to you
He released me into orbit
Still I found a way to gravitate to you, oh


[Verse 2]
Yeah, he told me
Here we are close to midnight
Something don't feel right
Where'd you go? Where'd you go?
On your rocket ship
Take care you don't slip to a new realm
I'll wait for ya by the hotel
Please pay my bills before you lose your
Head over heels
I don't care about this dog and you know I can't afford it
I don't wanna get bigger
Gravity will hold me down like a sticker, yeah
I release, I release you
I don't need, I don't need
If I lose you, I lose you
You can give me the voodoo
Like D'Angelo said, "How does it, how does it feel?"
He knew how it, how it would feel


[Chorus]
When he released me into orbit
Still I found a way to navigate to you
He released me into orbit
Still I found a way to gravitate to you


[Bridge]
Oh no
Please don't say you're desertin', oh
Don't leave me revolving
I'm nearly dissolving, it's true
Please don't lie like the last time
Left me barely holding on
Won't do this again
'Cause I'll spin into infinite moons


[Pre-Chorus]
Kinda sad but you remind me
You remind me of a love that I once knew
Kinda sad but you remind me
You remind me of a love who outgrew me too


[Chorus]
He released me into orbit
Still I found a way to gravitate to you
He released me into orbit
Still I found a way to navigate to you

The way she effortlessly switches between octaves is crazy. Like a collaboration with herself

[ifpeaceexists]

The way she performs this is like she's having a conversation with my soul.

[tearzovjoy]

*I was shook by her voice and then by her pants.*

[watchinggmind]

THOSE PANTS
THAT RANGE
BLOWN AWAY

Her low vocal range really surprised me

[emmadavies]

Her range is phenomenal, her voice ethereal, just sooo beautiful & lyrics that are pure poetry. A gift to us all. People like this dont come round that often. Always moved by Nao. Amazing.

this performance was absolutely captivating. Nao's talent and vocal range is out of this world.

[kathytran]

Her lil hand dances got me so in love. That’s how you know you gotta dope ass voice. Your fingers just follow

[indigomoon]

Her voice really does balance the complexity and minimalism through her lyrics

[hazelibe]

She is so talented. I was watching your mouth when she was transitioning from low to high notes and I realised she does something with her tongue that she uses with great control. Her voice gave me goosebumps as usual

[phijima]

This performance was long overdue, I’m in love all over again
