Tryna Be

GIVĒON's song 'Tryna Be' delves into the complexities of maintaining a committed relationship while grappling with loneliness and temptation. The lyrics reveal a man who is deeply in love but finds it challenging to stay faithful when his partner is not around. The repeated line, 'When you're not with me, it's hard because it's lonely,' underscores the emotional struggle of being apart from a loved one. This separation creates a void that others are eager to fill, leading to a constant battle between loyalty and desire.

The song's narrative is rich with honesty and vulnerability. GIVĒON admits to his flaws and the temptations he faces, singing, 'I'm all in but I'm just a man with flaws.' This line highlights the human aspect of his struggle, making it relatable to anyone who has ever felt the pull of temptation. The artist's confession that others are 'okay with bein' number two' adds another layer of complexity, as it shows that the external temptations are not just fleeting but persistent and willing to settle for less.

The chorus, with its haunting 'Mm, mm-mm' refrain, captures the internal conflict and the sense of helplessness that comes with it. GIVĒON's soulful delivery adds emotional weight to the lyrics, making the listener feel the depth of his struggle. The song also touches on the challenges of long-distance love, with lines like 'Lovin’ through our phone with poor connection,' emphasizing the difficulties of maintaining intimacy over a distance. Ultimately, 'Tryna Be' is a poignant exploration of love, temptation, and the human condition, wrapped in GIVĒON's signature soulful sound.
