Cole speaks about his "longest crush ever". The hip hop / R&B song is a continuation of his song "Dreams" from his mixtape The Warm Up, in which he obsesses over the girl and devises his plan to kill her boyfriend. Cole played it for Jay-Z, his first words were, 'Yo, you should get Miguel on this,'" Cole recalls. I really did them verses in my crib and just loved the way they felt." Ĭole originally sang the song's chorus himself, until a meeting with Jay-Z, who suggested that Cole reach out to Miguel. Like with 'Power Trip,' absolutely you couldn't point to any song on the radio and be like, 'Oh, this sounds like that'…everything from the beat to the way that I'm flowing, you've never really heard me so "sleepy".
