Song Meaning
Recently, we had the opportunity to engage in an interview with IshGotGlo, delving into the underlying themes of his latest release, “Idea of Us.” He imparted that the song is premised on the notion of one’s romantic partner not truly feeling love, but instead being enamored with the idea of being in a relationship. This subject matter is relatable to many individuals currently embroiled in “flings” or “situationships,” as it addresses the theme of commitment-related issues.
Punchline
The track boasts a memorable refrain that intones, “she ain’t in love, she just in love with the idea of us,” which seamlessly segues into compelling verses set to the seductive, slow-burning production of Dimi.
