People say “love is blind,” and when you’re in love you’re so enthralled that you hardly notice the other person’s flaws.

These lyrics vividly portray the anguish of a woman who, after such a passionate romance, has finally fallen out of love.

The techno-pop melody suits it perfectly, too.

Brian McKnight – Back At One (Short Version) (Official Music Video)

Brian McKnight is an R&B singer known for his distinctive whispery voice that sounds like a soft breath escaping.

Ella Mai – DFMU (Official Music Video)

British R&B singer-songwriter Ella Mai released her second album, Heart on My Sleeve, in May 2022, her first in about three and a half years since her self-titled debut album, which came out in 2018 and featured the Grammy-winning hit Boo’d Up.

If you’re a fan of contemporary R&B, you were likely eagerly awaiting her full return to the scene.

DFMU, released as the lead single from Heart on My Sleeve, is a standout track that showcases Ella Mai’s leap into a more mature artistry, guiding listeners into a different world with her deeper, richer vocals.

Its introspective lyrics—laying bare doubts about a lover and the inner turmoil of the heart—are compelling, and the emotional volatility born from being in love is something many listeners will relate to.
