Slowly

Meddy's song 'Slowly' is a tender ballad that explores the overwhelming emotions associated with falling in love. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and the desire for a cautious approach to a burgeoning romantic relationship. The repeated question 'Do you believe in love?' sets the stage for a narrative that delves into the intensity and sometimes irrational nature of love. The singer expresses a deep connection with the object of his affection, referring to them as his 'fantasy' and 'only desire,' which highlights the idealization often present in the early stages of love.

The chorus, 'Can we go slowly? Cause I can’t take it,' is a plea for moderation. It reflects the singer's struggle to cope with the strong emotions that are consuming him. This request for a slower pace is not due to a lack of interest, but rather the opposite; the intensity of his feelings is so powerful that he fears he might 'lose [his] mind' if the relationship progresses too quickly. The song captures the paradox of wanting to dive into the depths of love while also needing to protect oneself from its potentially overwhelming impact.

Meddy, a Rwandan artist known for his smooth R&B style, often incorporates elements of his culture into his music. The use of the phrase 'Niba unkunda' which means 'if you love me' in Kinyarwanda, adds a personal touch to the song, connecting his emotions to his cultural identity. The song's gentle melody and heartfelt lyrics resonate with anyone who has experienced the dizzying effects of love and the desire to navigate it with care.
