Belong in la
Belong in LA started from a free write I wrote one weekend. I wrote just the hook and had it stuck in my head for a while.
I normally try not to look at free writes for a while to give myself space before revisiting and deciding what material to finish. But, as I was putting together singles to release in 2023, I needed a 4th song, and it was the strongest idea I had at the time.
It was also a great song to balance out the rest of the tracks for 2023. Since two of them were heavy and emotional, and the third was more braggadocious; a more upbeat, fun song like this was very needed.
This song is about one of those old flames you have a ton of history with, and you cross paths with again after a long time apart. Its light and fun though, and the relationship is super casual.
Its also honestly about someone I see as a little out of my league, and so the lyrics are super over the top in appreciation for just how good they look: "You look like you belong in LA. Like you model in the day, and dance on the side..."
I've never been to LA. Not sure where that idea came from, besides associating the city with models and Hollywood.
DFW local Seshun made the beat for this, Ladi came through with some vocals, and Blakk Mambo played bass! It was recorded at Papertone studio, mixed and mastered at Music in focus studio.
Hope you like it!
Send it to someone special in your life and make them feel fine. Let me know how it goes!
Talk soon,

Lyrics
Hook
You look like you belong in LA
Like you model in the day
And dance on the side
Party all night
It moves so right
When you strut in your lace
Gotta go get me a taste
Whenever I slide
I take my time
Kiss from your toes to your face (Aye)
You look like you belong in LA
Like you model in the day
And dance on the side
Party all night
It moves so right
When you strut in your lace
Gotta go get me a taste
Whenever I slide
I take my time
Kiss from your toes to your face (Aye)
Verse 1
Hold up, stop
Do a little spin
I can't believe that I'm back again
I can't believe you're this bad again
Look at how long it's been
Is your friend still mad that you took me from her
Been so long since we met that summer
In your mama house hiding from her
After we were done you would light the blunt up
(Uh)
I can't deny
You got a whole lot of sass but you're fine
A whole lot of pride
But, when I see that thing move
I put mine to the side
Texas peach
I just need me a bite
Prettiest feet
Hips and the thighs
I can't believe
The shit I let slide
I guess I must
Forgive with my eyes
Cause
Hook
You look like you belong in LA
Like you model in the day
And dance on the side
Party all night
It moves so right
When you strut in your lace
Gotta go get me a taste
Whenever I slide
I take my time
Kiss from your toes to your face (Aye)
You look like you belong in LA
Like you model in the day
And dance on the side
Party all night
It moves so right
When you strut in your lace
Gotta go get me a taste
Whenever I slide
I take my time
Kiss from your toes to your face (Aye)
Verse 2
Hit the gym you never fell off
Corporate job pay good
But the club had you more well off
You think about it when you get off (huh)
Got a couple pictures you could sell off (huh)
Couple little sites that you could get on (huh)
Everybody want the box like Kellogg's (huh)
And you're so influential
Followers up
Like an influencer
Don't do all the gossip
If you leak the inbox
Then there might be problems
They wanna sponsor
You look like artwork
I'll take any date
To pull up and sip that paint
Cause
Hook
You look like you belong in LA
Like you model in the day
And dance on the side
Party all night
It moves so right
When you strut in your lace
Gotta go get me a taste
Whenever I slide
I take my time
Kiss from your toes to your face (Aye)
You look like you belong in LA
Like you model in the day
And dance on the side
Party all night
It moves so right
When you strut in your lace
Gotta go get me a taste
Whenever I slide
I take my time
Kiss from your toes to your face (Aye)
