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 The Song To Play It To A Now-Ex – 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.

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 [the song] to play it to [a now-ex] – 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. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
