Speaking about the track, DATQIDEXCEL (pronounced dat-kid-excel) says, "This song is about two people who are experiencing individual situations in their relationships but share a similar difficulty in a parallel sense.
"The guy has a girlfriend who wants attention, but he's too focused on his career that he neglects her emotions, and the girl has a boyfriend who is too focused on his craft, to give her the attention she so desperately needs.
"I thought to myself, rather than make it a sad romantic song, or a slow r&b, I should make it a bit more up-tempo and lively, which is also why garage is the genre of choice."
Tell us three things about yourself . . .
I started writing poetry at the age of 11, which then kickstarted my musical interests. One thing about Heather is she can play the guitar and piano simultaneously. I'm very fitness oriented, it’s very important to me.
