Need Her

“Need Her” came from a space I don’t usually speak from out loud — that space where pride drops, and honesty steps in. It’s a vulnerable, melodic rap record about needing someone not just for love, but for peace, balance, and grounding. This isn’t about lust or flexing a connection — this is about admitting that some people are irreplaceable, and no matter how strong you are on your own, there’s a kind of calm that only she brings.

I wrote this during a time when I was reflecting on what it means to be held down emotionally — not just someone who rides when it’s convenient, but someone whose presence shifts the whole weight of your day. The type of woman whose energy makes you breathe easier, think clearer, move better. “Need Her” isn’t about being weak — it’s about being real. It’s about being honest enough to say, “I miss what we had, and I’m not afraid to say I need that back.”

Sonically, it floats in that smooth, emotional space between R&B and melodic hip-hop — drawing influence from artists like PARTYNEXTDOOR, Brent Faiyaz, and Rod Wave. The beat moves slow and heavy, giving space for the lyrics to breathe, and the layered harmonies give it that late-night, overthinking vibe. The flow is calm, conversational — almost like a voicemail you never sent.

Lyrically, “Need Her” is full of moments — memories, mistakes, quiet regrets, and the honesty that comes when the noise dies down. It’s not about begging. It’s not about drama. It’s just about saying the real thing: you mattered. You still do.

This song is for the ones who don’t know how to say what they feel until the feeling’s too loud to ignore. It’s for the nights when the silence hits different. For the ones who act like they’re fine until they hear the song that says exactly what they couldn’t. “Need Her” is that song.
