Open (feat. Majid Jordan)

Khalid's song "Open (feat. Majid Jordan)" is a dreamy exploration of serendipitous connection and the intoxicating feeling of being caught up in the moment. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a night under a full moon, where the protagonist is on his way to meet someone special. The imagery of the full moon and the anticipation of the meeting set the stage for a night filled with potential and excitement. The repeated lines, "Have I seen you in another life? It's like I met you before," suggest a deep, almost fated connection, as if the two souls were destined to meet.

The chorus, with its repetitive and rhythmic structure, emphasizes the overwhelming emotions the protagonist feels. Lines like "I can hear you callin', yeah, yeah, too much, now I'm all in, yeah, yeah, dive into your ocean, yeah, yeah, leave your schedule open, woah, woah" convey a sense of urgency and immersion. The metaphor of diving into an ocean symbolizes plunging into the depths of this newfound connection, embracing it fully without hesitation. The idea of leaving one's schedule open further underscores the spontaneity and willingness to prioritize this moment over everything else.

The collaboration with Majid Jordan adds a layer of smooth, electronic R&B vibes to the track, enhancing its dreamy and ethereal quality. The song captures the essence of being open to new experiences and connections, and the magic that can happen when two people are fully present in the moment. The repeated emphasis on being "caught up in the moment" and the ease of being "open" reflects a universal desire for genuine connection and the beauty of serendipitous encounters.
