I remember when I first heard this song and the context! Rotimi (The artist I have previously mentioned) was doing a cycle workout to it. Ro James has such a soothing voice. This song is basically him asking his woman to give her consent so he can give her the love she deserves. I feel this song is so fitting at a time where consent is talked about so much. It is refreshing to hear a man asking for permission so politely instead of assuming what a woman consents to. My favourite line has to be “I just wanna put a little smile on you with your permission”. There’s just an element of Ro acting the absolute gentlemen throughout the song and I love that.
Permission.
