We’ve all been there. In all honesty, those on the East Coast may be there right now. The clock on your iPhone is about to strike midnight. You’re by yourself and you don’t want to feel as alone as you do right now. So, you pick up your phone and text that one person who says that they’ve moved on, but is just as trapped in this thing that’s not a relationship as you are. With his latest single, “Pull Up,” DWY captures this uneasy routine beautifully. The soulful, lasting track pulls at those emotional strings beautifully while showcasing his songwriting ability.
“This is my ego standing at the front of my mind saying, ‘F*ck who you’re with, I’m that n*gga..and I’ll always be.’ Sometimes, the devil on your shoulder wins and puts the angel in a headlock. It’s sending that text at 1:39 a.m. when you know she’s moved on, but just gotta know,” DWY said about “Pull Up.”
“The intersection of vulnerability and ego are in a standoff.”
“Pull Up” is the third track in a trio of honest and relatable releases from DWY this summer. Previously, he unveiled “Solid Gold” and “Badu Feels.” With the potential for new music in the near future, “Pull Up” is a promising step in the right direction for one of the brightest, young songwriters in music today.
