The Passionate Cycle of Love and Conflict in Kehlani's 'F&MU'

Kehlani's song 'F&MU' delves into the tumultuous yet passionate dynamics of a romantic relationship characterized by frequent conflicts and reconciliations. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a couple who repeatedly find themselves in a cycle of arguments and intense make-up sessions. The phrase 'We fuck and make up like it’s maybelline' cleverly uses the metaphor of makeup to describe how they cover up their issues with physical intimacy, much like how makeup can cover imperfections on the skin. This metaphor highlights the temporary nature of their resolutions, suggesting that their underlying issues remain unresolved.

The song captures the complexity of emotions involved in such relationships. Kehlani sings about how the arguments and the subsequent make-up sessions are almost ritualistic, turning the emotional turmoil into a form of foreplay. Lines like 'I hate you turns into I love you in the bedroom' and 'Damn, it's so good, I might have to piss you off' reveal how the intensity of their conflicts fuels their passion. This dynamic is both thrilling and exhausting, as the couple seems to thrive on the emotional highs and lows.

Kehlani's vocal delivery and the song's production further amplify the raw emotions conveyed in the lyrics. The beat is sultry and rhythmic, mirroring the push-and-pull nature of the relationship. The song also touches on themes of dependency and the difficulty of breaking free from such a cycle. Despite the chaos, there's an undeniable attraction that keeps pulling them back together, making it hard for either party to walk away. 'F&MU' is a candid exploration of the complexities of love, lust, and the often-blurred lines between the two.
