#NewMusic: Ella Mai – ‘Not Another Love Song’

“Not Another Love Song” plays on the fact that Ella Mai is indeed singing another love song. The song has the artist singing about a love in a relationship, realizing it, and wanting to be around the person as your dream even play a part. The slow tempo, infectious groove has Mai analyzing what’s happening, and wanting to enjoy the moment and not “mess this up.”

“I’m goin’ down ’cause I know that it’s you I see in my dreams, I’m goin’ down, let me drown over you, livin’ in my dreams (In my dreams)/ I love the way you do it, don’t stop, don’t wanna lose it/ I love the way you do it to me (To me) [x2]/ I don’t wanna mess this up, Could it be too much to say I’m in—”
