Wait On It (feat. Jeremih & Bryson Tiller)

Chris Brown's 'Wait On It,' featuring Jeremih and Bryson Tiller, delves into the complexities of desire, longing, and the emotional push-and-pull in romantic relationships. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is deeply infatuated with a woman, yet finds himself in a state of anticipation and uncertainty. The repeated phrase 'make me wait on it' underscores the tension between immediate gratification and the patience required in love.

The song opens with vivid imagery and luxurious references, such as 'Pop champagne' and 'diamonte,' which set the stage for a high-stakes romantic encounter. The protagonist is clearly enamored, as indicated by lines like 'Just my kiss on your lips right by your hips like mwah, bae.' However, despite the opulence and physical attraction, there's an underlying sense of vulnerability. The line 'Don't love me for me' suggests a fear of being loved for superficial reasons rather than for who he truly is.

As the song progresses, the narrative shifts to a more introspective tone. The protagonist reflects on the emotional distance and the lack of communication, as seen in 'We ain't even had no conversation for a minute.' This introspection is coupled with a sense of jealousy and possessiveness, highlighted by lines like 'If that's your new nigga, I know he jealous of me.' The song captures the emotional rollercoaster of waiting, longing, and the uncertainty that comes with love, making it a relatable anthem for anyone who has experienced the complexities of romantic relationships.
