“I admire him as an artist, and he’s just … he’s amazing,” she told Zane Lowe about 6LACK. “He’s an amazing lyricist, and I feel like he took the record to a whole other level. I already love the record as is, but he totally exceeded any expectation I ever had, which was pretty high, because I admire him as an artist. He’s such an important artist, and I’ve been following his journey for a while now, and we’re really big fans of each other. Our text messages pretty much look like we’re complimenting each other.” The song, Normani cited “make love on a full moon” as her favorite lyric.
