Make Luv

Brent Faiyaz's song 'Make Luv' delves into the complexities of love and relationships, particularly from the perspective of someone who has achieved fame and success. The lyrics reflect a sense of frustration and disillusionment with a partner who seems to have taken the protagonist for granted. The repeated question, 'Why make me wait for so long?' underscores a feeling of neglect and impatience, suggesting that the protagonist has been left in the dark about the true nature of their relationship for an extended period.

The song also touches on themes of self-worth and recognition. Lines like 'My money long, this Moncler coat feels nice' juxtapose material success with emotional emptiness. Despite the protagonist's financial and social status, there is a palpable sense of loneliness and a desire for genuine connection. The mention of being a 'superstar' and the partner's role in the relationship highlights a power dynamic where the protagonist feels used and unappreciated.

The chorus, 'Thought I wasn't much, but now you wanna make love to me,' captures the essence of the song's emotional conflict. It speaks to the protagonist's realization that their partner's affection may be conditional or opportunistic, only surfacing when it benefits them. The closing lines, 'I took all I could take for so long,' and 'Cry me a river,' signify a breaking point, where the protagonist acknowledges their own worth and decides to move on from a toxic relationship. This song is a poignant exploration of the emotional toll that fame and superficial relationships can take on an individual, wrapped in Brent Faiyaz's signature soulful style.
