It is worth noting that this isn’t the first time Handsome and Khalid have worked together. The song’s co-writer Charlie Handsome solely produced the track.
They are as follows: Tor Erik Hermansen, Charlie Handsome, Mikke Stoleer Eriksen, Denis Kosiak and Jamil Chammas.
This track was written by Khalid in conjunction with as many as five other songwriters. The lines also tell us that the narrator’s flame also has strong feelings for him but tries to disguise it by saying they’re just friends. I keep my hand around your neck, we connect, are you feeling it now?”įrom the lyrics above, it is clear the narrator’s love interest and him aren’t officially considered an item. With so much talent and so many accolades under his belt, Khalid continues on his successful trajectory, giving fans plenty of hope for 2019.“You say we’re just friends but I swear when nobody’s around Meanwhile, Khalid’s Suncity EP, released in September of this year, sees the young gun R&B upstart capitalizing on the success of last year’s American Teen debut and the subsequent notoriety and acclaim he picked up from some stellar live performances, including one with Maryland rapper Logic of the anti-suicide hit, “ 1-80.” His “OTW” video featuring Ty Dolla Sign and 6lack, was tabbed as one of 2018’s true sleeper hits. The mid-tempo beat, produced by Charlie Handsome, throws back to the mid-90s, Miami bass-inspired Ghost Town DJs hit “My Boo,” which became a viral hit all over again in 2016 thanks to the “Running Man Challenge.”
The El Paso, TX R&B revivalist shows off both his smooth vocals and some confident dance moves in the nighttime-set video, singing about an undercover love thing while the cars sail through some complex maneuvers all around him.
Needless to say, professional stunt drivers were probably involved, so don’t try this at home. I’m sure the premise of Khalid‘s wistful video for “Better” from his Suncity EP was more likely meant to be visually thrilling than nerve-wracking, but I couldn’t help holding my breath anyway as he danced in a vacant lot surrounded by multicolored BMWs drifting and swooping by him at high speed.
