Soft Launch Love

[Verse 1]
You walk in, whole room rearranged
I laugh loud, then I pull it back, strange
Check my phone like I’m busy as hell
But I’m reading every word that you send, oh well
Talk fast, then I double back, edit
Type once, then I rewrite, exit
Tryna play it cool, keep my jacket on
Even though your name sittin’ in every song
[Chorus]
I can’t like you too loud
Keep it cute, keep it quiet in a low-key crowd
‘Cause if I fall first, you might let go
So I smile, then I hide what I don’t wanna show
Soft launch love, keep it right on mute
Act chill, but I’m wild when I think of you
I can’t like you too loud
‘Cause I’m scared you gon’ break what you find in me now (yeah)
[Verse 2]
You say “pull up,” and I text “we’ll see”
Whole time I’m there, doing skin, white tee
Playin’ like I’m late, like I got big plans
But I circled ‘round the block just to wash my hands
You say “you good?” and I joke, “always”
Heart doing laps in a hallway
Don’t wanna be the one who cares too quick
Don’t wanna be the name in your sad-boy script
[Chorus]
I can’t like you too loud
Keep it cute, keep it quiet in a low-key crowd
‘Cause if I fall first, you might let go
So I smile, then I hide what I don’t wanna show
Soft launch love, keep it right on mute
Act chill, but I’m wild when I think of you
I can’t like you too loud
‘Cause I’m scared you gon’ break what you find in me now
[Bridge]
What if I call you, say what I feel?
What if you freeze up, say it ain’t real?
What if you love me, then get bored fast?
What if I’m scrollin’ through our screenshots, last? (damn)
So I keep it tiny, tame, contained
Make sure you never see the whole frame
You get the jokes, you don’t get the ache
You see the smile, you don’t see the shake
[Chorus]
I can’t like you too loud
Keep it cute, keep it quiet in a low-key crowd
‘Cause if I fall first, you might let go
So I smile, then I hide what I don’t wanna show
Soft launch love, keep it right on mute
Act chill, but I’m wild when I think of you
I can’t like you too loud
‘Cause I’d hand you my heart and you might put it down

rap, Moody R&B-drill crossover with female vocals; close-mic, breathy tone over warm pads and a minimalist, swinging drum groove. Verses are conversational with subtle pitched ad-libs; chorus blooms with stacked harmonies and a subby bass lift. Sparse keys and reversed synth swells in the bridge create a floating, late-night feel before a final, intimate hook.
