Alright. Shlohmo and Jeremih were brought together by Yours Truly and Adidas Originals for a series called "Songs From Scratch" (Watch it). The two were put in a booth together, and not allowed to eat, drink, sleep, or leave until they had a hit song. Okay not really, but that's what they did anyway. This combination was the result of someone recognizing that Shlohmo did a great job remixing Jeremih's "Fuck You All The Time" and deciding we deserved an original collaboration.
I always like getting a peek behind the scenes of the creative process. It's interesting that in the video both artists seem to allude to reservations about working together, but ultimately discover that "the vibe" is good between them. The final product really is an impressive piece. Shlohmo does a phenomenal job providing an ominous and brooding instrumental, while Jeremih switches between crisp singing and mumbled-rapped lines. The title alone reveals the lyrical content; Jeremih explores the line between tender affection and intense lust. For me, it's been one of those late night songs that I already know I'm going to play again just seconds after it's started.
