Slow Motion (feat. Matt Champion)

JENNIE's song 'Slow Motion (feat. Matt Champion)' delves into the complexities of love and the desire to savor every moment with a significant other. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that feels both surreal and deeply grounding, as if the lovers are moving in slow motion. This metaphor of slow motion suggests a desire to prolong the moments of intimacy and connection, making each second feel more profound and meaningful. The imagery of 'driving upside down' and being an 'escape from reality' further emphasizes the transformative power of love, making the ordinary feel extraordinary.

The recurring question, 'If I could stop time for real, would it make it any easier for me to love you?' highlights the internal struggle of wanting to hold onto these precious moments while grappling with the vulnerability that comes with deep affection. The lyrics express a sense of shyness and hesitation, indicating that the intensity of these feelings can be overwhelming. This emotional tension is palpable, as the singer admits that the love is 'so bad that it kills,' yet they can't help but feel entranced by the slow-motion dance of their relationship.

Matt Champion's contribution adds another layer to the narrative, reflecting on the permanence and significance of the relationship. His lines, 'If forever was forever, I would never give you up,' and 'You are always on my mind,' underscore the enduring nature of their bond. The song captures the essence of cherishing every moment, even amidst the uncertainties and challenges that love brings. It’s a poignant reminder that love, in its purest form, often feels like a timeless, slow-motion experience, where every heartbeat and every glance holds immense weight and meaning.
