“Come Back To Me” by Greezy is an emotional track that merges afrobeats with pop, making for a sonic landscape that is unique to Greezy. A multifaceted artist who is not afraid to experiment, Greezy blends many sounds, styles, and even languages in this song. The lyrics are a combination of French, English, and Creole, yet the emotion of the track shines through no matter which language he is singing in. In “Come Back To Me,” Greezy explores the regret he has for ending his relationship, asking this person to forgive him in hopes of rekindling their love.
Electronic piano notes and oscillating vocals echo across the intro of the song before the immediately captivating rhythm drops in. This drum beat, which is rooted in konpa music, lays the groundwork for the song, remaining steady as other elements of the arrangement dance overtop of it. Little moments of acoustic instrumentation add a vulnerability to the track as layered harmonies add ambience. A particularly cool section is the instrumental break towards the end of the song, where a uniquely textured synth offers a riveting and tense solo that drives home the emotion of the song.
Lyrics like ““I know I broke your heart but baby I need you around you” and “please let me love you” tell us just how much pain Greezy is in, and just how desperate he is to get this relationship back. Many of us can probably relate to regretting the end of a relationship, and Greezy represents those tumultuous feelings perfectly in this song.
