True Love - Lila Iké Writes A Love Letter To Herself

03/31/2022 by Press Release

Lila Iké’s first musical reveal of 2022 is the powerful new single and video True Love, out today via In.Digg.Nation Collective/RCA Records. Watch the video below!

True Love is a love letter to herself. The song (produced by Natural High Music) and video (directed by Ayana Riviére) encourages us to choose love even through the darkest times.

Lila explains the song’s evolution and meaning. “True Love is a song that I freestyled almost a year ago. At the time I was in a very emotional space and feeling a bit low in energy due to everything happening with the pandemic. I wanted to find a way to turn what I was feeling into a piece that would give others, who may be feeling the same, some hope. The most beautiful thing about this song is that a year later, I’m realizing this song was a personal love letter to my future self on healing and dealing with everything I’m experiencing at the moment. I hope it reaches everyone who needs this energy right now and that it gives them as much light as it gives me,” she states.

The Jamaican star on the rise has a promising year ahead as she prepares for her debut album and tours for the first time since the pandemic, performing songs from her critically appraised 2020 EP The ExPerience.

TRUE LOVE LYRICS:
It’s hard it’s really hard to stay up with everything
Happening all around is like all I see is sin
Hate is in the air
Real love is diminishing
I'm just tryna balance and just gwaan do me ting
Tryna find the little light
That’s left out there in the world
Wah fi use it and go inspire every little boy and girl
Haffi make them know say love is still the ultimate goal
Put that light within your heart and get fire in your soul

But it’s hard
Oh gosh Jah know it’s hard
Oh yes I know it’s hard
Oh yes I know it's hard

But you see True love
True love conquers all sin
We are going to be alright
As long as we're still breathing
True love
True love above all things
Yes we're gonna be ok
As long we’ve got life

See I crack jokes a lot
But who really notice all the pain I got
Oh gosh tell me who cares to hear me out
Not many unless there's something to hear about
Still I give of myself
Even when it’s a detriment to my health
Blessing everybody all if them no help
Cause I know sometimes
Things go wrong all when you deh ya so a try do the right

Cause it’s hard
Oh gosh a say it’s hard
Oh Lord I know it's hard
Oh gosh Jah know this hard

And True love
True love conquers all sin
We are going to be alright
As long as we've got life
Yes True love
True love above all hate
It's gonna be ok
As long we’re still breathing

But it’s hard

It’s not an easy road
It’s hard it’s really hard
Jah know It’s hard it’s really hard
It’s hard
Oh yes
But you see True love
True love conquers all sin
We are going to be alright
As long as we're still breathing
True love
True love above all things
Yes we're gonna be ok
As long we’ve got life
