Illy and M-Phazes reintroduce their stellar chemistry to the general public with this expertly executed banger. The song’s dark lyrics, which contrast the upbeat production, explore the struggles of being a part of a dysfunctional relationship.

This couple loves one another unlike anything they’ve ever known. Despite this however, they don’t work together. The crux of the song (and dysfunctional relationships) presents itself:

Are we our better halves
If we only make it worse?
Are we better off apart
But can’t say the words?

Following 2015’s “Swear Jar,” this is the second single for Illy’s fifth studio album, Two Degrees. And, as of the 25th of July, 2019, it has been certified 5x Platinum.
