The song is addressed to a lost love, someone who was a great fit with Nas but ultimately their relationship did not work out.

It’s noted that the object of his affection is a younger woman, and there are lyrics that point to unreplied texts, fuelling some suspicions that this song is about Nicki Minaj. She and Nas had a high-profile relationship that was short lived.

While Nicki has spoken a little (like to Sway in the video below) about their relationship and breakup, this is the first time Nas is speaking about it.
