Love Affair

UMI's song 'Love Affair' delves into the complexities of modern relationships and the internal struggle between love and lust. The lyrics express the narrator's uncertainty about their feelings and the nature of their relationship with their partner. The repeated questioning of 'Baby is this your love affair?' suggests a search for validation and clarity about whether the connection is genuine or merely a fleeting attraction.

The song also touches on the theme of vulnerability and the fear of not being able to live up to a previous partner ('Scared that I can’t treat you better than her'). This insecurity is a common concern in new relationships, where the pressure to be perfect can be overwhelming. UMI captures this sentiment by highlighting the narrator's hesitation and the desire to understand their own emotions ('I wanna know how to feel, what to feel, what’s right').

The contrast between wanting a 'good time' and fearing that it might be wrong ('But I’m wrong for that, oh') reflects the internal conflict between pursuing immediate pleasure and considering the potential consequences. UMI's portrayal of this dilemma is relatable, as many people grapple with the timing and morality of their actions in romantic contexts. The song's introspective nature invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences with love and lust, and the fine line that often separates the two.
