I was in a casual relationship, or a casual situation-ship, at that time, and I kind of had to let the person know that it wasn’t going to be anything more than what it was. I played the track to him and he didn’t really get the picture. He was like, ‘I don’t really like this one.’ When I produced it, I was listening to Kanye’s 808s & Heartbreak and Solange. I was really interested in how sonically there’s a lot of grit and beauty in both of their production styles, so that was the inspiration.
Okay, I’ll be really honest, I actually wrote to play it to – so that he’d understand the relationship was not going to go anywhere. And we ended because I didn’t want it to go anywhere.
I’ve spoken to a lot of brown women who’ve said it was empowering to hear someone talk about their body and sex like that. And I was like, “Well, I mean, it’s important, but also it’s just like an everyday thing, isn’t it?”
As is being alright with not having a serious relationship; and being alright with my body. In order to write and release a song like that, there does have to be an element of not caring what you think. Some people will think I’m a hoe or this, that and the other. But it’s my body. I’m going to do whatever I want with it.
