The gorgeous piano backdrop gives the music an incensual vibe that suggests it could’ve been made in the 1970s. It was. It’s a looped sample from Natalie Cole’s Inseparable. The buzzkill can be found in the lyrics, specifically when a ghetto Beyoncé mentions “raggedy heffas”.
Still the music never disappoints. While building an entire song around an old soul sample is the sign of a lazy or uncreative producer, Rockwilder must be credited for not modernizing it with a hip-hop beat, which a romantical break-up song like this does better without.
