“A HOT 10 MILLION VIEWS ON LEVITATING ALREADY! ✨✨✨ @DaBaby I have to thank YOU so much for lending your voice n talent and really going crazy on your verse for this record!!! It was a pleasure getting to know you and working with you!! I’m sending so much love 2 you and your team I’ll never forget how kind and hardworking you all were on set ?❣️ LEVITATING 2 THA WORLD”
It had to be fun and bubbly but with lyrics that felt really smart. This is about me exploring happy songs and doing something that’s not ‘dance crying’. It’s about having fun and meeting someone and falling in love and thinking, ‘You’ve probably met me at the perfect time, let’s just go for it.’ It’s the feeling when love makes you feel like you’re levitating. It’s otherworldly. Things get quite Daft Punk-y here, but it’s playful.
