On Chill (feat. Jeremih)

Wale's 'On Chill' featuring Jeremih is a soulful exploration of a tumultuous relationship that has been through its fair share of ups and downs. The song opens with Jeremih's smooth vocals lamenting the ongoing 'tragedy' that has plagued their relationship for months. This sets the stage for a narrative that seeks a moment of peace and understanding amidst the chaos. The repeated plea for agreement and the desire to 'be on chill' tonight underscores a longing for a temporary respite from the constant conflict.

Wale's verses delve deeper into the complexities of love and trust. He acknowledges the scars left by past relationships and the difficulty of moving forward without letting those experiences taint the present. His lines, 'Life hard and ex-lovers is like scars / 'Cause it stop hurtin' but never forgettin' what it was,' poignantly capture the lingering pain of past loves. Wale's approach is one of cautious optimism; he wants to be a source of comfort and protection, offering a safe space where they can be 'comfortable now.' This sentiment is echoed in his desire to 'lighten the load' and assure his partner that they are not fighting alone.

The song also touches on the idea of consistency and reliability in a relationship. Wale promises to 'stay the same' even when others might switch up, emphasizing the importance of stability. His mention of 'no expectation' and 'supreme confidence' suggests a mature understanding that love doesn't always need labels or grand gestures to be meaningful. Instead, it's about being there for each other in the simplest, most genuine ways. The recurring chorus reinforces this theme, with Jeremih and Wale both yearning for a night of peace and connection, free from the drama that has defined their relationship for so long.
