[heaven.e]

Just imagine lipsyncing a whole song backwards for a video. Dedication.

[mirandabeaudry]

Okay but can you imagine how fun/difficult it must’ve been for her to sing her songs backward to film this video?? Like THAT IS DETAILED WORK

[hien]

While everyone's moving backward she keeps moving forward. Her I

[jeliseanderson]

Guess I'm the only one who is actually here because Mahalia is iconic

[jadealmeria]

i’m so mad i never heard this song sooner this shit SLAPS

[snatchedwig]

Sis really learned her lyrics backwards ugh this is why I love mahalia

[shaheedpatel]

I thought she just had a weird walk/groove until I realised the video was produced in reverse 😂

[kevinboyd]

Are we not going to address that this woman is so talented she managed to sing her own song backwards...with no struggle.

[rooneymara]

I want to miss my ex but I can't miss what I never had.

[Bobbytheman]

I hella found this on accident. Thank you accidents!

[oasisflame]

Damn what if the message of the music video was that being caught up on the past only leads you to go backwards. Life moves on... No matter what.

[IsaacEwegbeje]

I just had a thought. What if this video was in reverse to symbolize that talking to your ex is going backward. CRAZY RIGHT!

[leshalove]

This how goofy we look going back to an ex

[Casey-suxc]

I wish there was less comments about jhope and more comments talking about the actual song and music video...I like bts but doesn’t mean you flood the comments talking about what he listened to

[alinafermendes]

Mahalia wildin' out cause they woking with a u t h e n t I c v i e w s craftin' that crazy flow. All that work payin' off now they album on repeat.

[spottieottiedopalisciousan]

This track is absolutely dope. The beat is dance-worthy. The lyrics are relatable and definitely resonate with the times. The chorus has the chant thing going on like the voices are I can’t really describe the chorus, but I enjoy it. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[skzfeels]

even as an army myself, I say y’all can enjoy the song without stating why you came here, be respectful and considerate to the artist please.

[Intro]
(Every time the weekend comes, yeah
I know that it won’t be long, yeah
Til you‘re gonna call my phone, yeah

Too many missed calls, too many texts

[Bridge]
Texting, texting, texting
Troubling me all over my phone all night
This ain’t life, you’re troubling me
You're wishing you were still mine
I’m the only one you wanted
But I can’t follow where your heart is
Calling till the morning, nananana

Texting, texting, texting
Troubling me all over my phone all night
This ain’t love, you’re troubling me
You're wishing you were still mine
I’m the only one you wanted
But I can’t follow where your heart is
Calling till the morning, nananana

[HawksFly]

Wow she's talented. She had to lip sync to a reversed version of the song I order for it to match up when they reversed the footage. Imagine learning a whole song in reverse like Missy Elliot
