Songfacts®:

  • This vulnerable song finds G-Eazy reflecting on various relationships. Fellow Oakland-based artist Kehlani croons the hook.
  • In the last verse G-Eazy tells the true story of his mother's long-term relationship with a woman, Melissa, who succumbed to crippling depression and pill addiction. It ends in tragedy when a 16-year-old G-Eazy finds Melissa's dead body in the basement of their house.

    "I was embarrassed that I judged her in the first place, but I finally came around to understand that my dad treated my mom like s--t and this person loved her and it didn't matter if it was a man or a woman or whatever color she was," Eazy told XXL magazine. "Energy is energy and love is love. Right around the time I finally came of age and accepted her and grew close with her, she started to slip into this dark place and it just happened."

  • Marie Jones from Orlando, FlAll you can do is give honest love and hope that it's enough. At the end of the day, happiness is a choice and we can't make that choice for others, only for ourselves, and hope that the light of our happiness around those in the darkness, helps guide them. Enjoy the life you have with those that make you truly happy, with unconditional love.
