A neo soul ballad which runs for four minutes and nine seconds, chronicles a secret relationship while the man promises his mistress to leave his woman and come clean to the world about their affair, as mentioned in the lines "Please don’t say you wanna give up / How do I tell her that I'm fallin' in love / And I know you're waiting patiently for that day that we no longer have to lie about us."
