Myself (feat. Jorja Smith)

Love can be both a trainer in self-destruction and the best teacher of self-worth. First, there is an explosion of chemistry, hands reach out, lips are almost there, but the brain anxiously waves a ‘STOP’ sign. Then there are circles on the water: losing yourself, then finding yourself, losing yourself again, and choosing yourself again. There is so much truth in this seesaw that it becomes almost funny. And only one mantra helps you not to drown: first, choose yourself. Always.
