SIR
Ten songs from boy to man.
Is life just a big game?
Is the cure money and fame?
1st Day
It opens with two questions: "Is life just a big game?" and "Is the cure money and fame?" It was also his first day making music.
Baile
He doesn't speak Spanish. He tried anyway. Whatever she is, he becomes the other half of it. If she rides, he drives. If she leads, he follows.
Birkin
He plays genie and grants every wish. Then he refuses. He can provide. He wants to know if that is the only reason he is wanted.
Come Thru
It starts with her voicemail. She misses him. He ended it. He put on a show instead of being real. Now he says what he would not say then.
High With Me
He asks her to come with him. To a galaxy only the two of them will remember. She loves his vices. He knows loving him back is hard.
I Do I Do
The answer to track one. Not for fame, not for anyone else. He just loves to play. "I do what I want." The motto of becoming a man.
Lowkey
The cost of staying private. It makes him hard to know and hard to love, and he says so. He's visible now and can't promise it stays quiet. Singing, rapping, no cursing.
Lucky Me
The dream arrived. Wake up a superstar, start the engine, pour the wine. He wrote it on a bike.
One More
He got a taste of what could make his dreams come true. She saw a side of him he never wanted her to. So he left. It opens on the Tin Man asking for a heart. It ends on him wishing it weren't true that love gets easy once the person is gone.
Same But Different
After all of it, the quiet part. We're not the same and that's fine. This is the boy becoming a man.
