'Get You' is a song of praise to a love I didn't even feel I deserved at the time. Being with someone you truly adore and being present enough in the moment that the world literally slows down and you ask yourself how did I stumble into this? I'm always shooting myself in the foot,but I'm in here." Talking about his collaborator on the song,Kali Uchis,he said:"Kali is great and very sweet. There's no ego between us so it makes for great chemistry. We have very different backgrounds and have different world views and I think we perceive music differently because of that,but it blends well. It's lots of fun to work with Kali. We've only just started." [3] [4] Reflecting on the song,he told Essence :"I'm absent minded and daydream a lot. It just felt like the song was already there and I was just lucky enough to find it."
