In “Forbidden,” Chris tells the story of an on-again/off-again lover who eventually shows her true intentions by confronting and shooting him. The outro slows down to a 90s, Jodeci-esque slow-jam tempo, focusing on Chris’ repetitious vocals of regret. The track is the embodiment of the English idiom “If you play with fire, you get burned.”

“Forbidden” is an enjoyable pop-dance track with 90s violin-styled synths, a funky wah-wah bass line, and bongo-style rhythms. whereas Chris' vocals and ad-libs are reminiscent of his musical icon, Michael Jackson.
