His pleading bleeds over into the chorus: “I spent so much time / Wondering why you’d give up? / Why the hell did you leave?” “You could have said that we weren’t meant to be / So let me down easy / Call me back.” James debuted the single for a small group of fans during an intimate listening session before he unveiled it on streaming platforms. “Writing and producing this song over the last year has been such an incredible experience, but nothing could have compared to sharing it with my fans and seeing their excitement,” he said. He also gushed about the opportunity on an Instagram Live, saying, “My first ever song is out.
