Songfacts®:

  • "Always" is a post-breakup jam that hits you right in the feels. Even though Daniel Caesar's lover has moved on to another guy, he can't seem to let her go.
  • Part of Caesar knows he should move on and try to get over the breakup, but writing this song is his way of dealing with those feelings.

    And maybe I'm wrong
    For writing this song
    Losing my head over you


    Caesar doesn't care if she's with somebody else, he'll give her all the space she needs, but she better know he's not just some passing phase. He's always gonna have a spot in his heart for his ex.

    And I'll be here
    'Cause we both know how it goes
    I don't want things to change
    I pray they stay the same, always


    He's holding out hope that maybe, just maybe, she'll change her mind and come back to him. So, for now, he'll be here waiting and praying that things stay the same, always.
  • Daniel Caesar wrote "Always" himself and recorded it for his third studio album, Never Enough. He collaborated on Never Enough with a variety of producers, including Sir Nolan on this one. Los Angeles producer Sir Nolan's resumé includes Justin Bieber's "All Around The World," Pitbull's "Feel This Moment," Nick Jonas' "Jealous," and Selena Gomez's "Good For You."
