Fka Twigs Jealousy

“jealousy” marks the first collaboration between FKA twigs and Nigerian artist Rema.

FKA Twigs is gearing up to release a new mixtape later today, CAPRISONGS, in tandem with Capricorn season, which is in effect until January 19. The experimental singer hasn’t released a full-length since 2019’s Magdalene, although she has served up a few fire singles in absence of an album. Before the new year, she returned to the fold with The Weeknd on the emo-tinged “Tears in the Club,” and she also linked with UK rapper on the rise, Central Cee, for the booming and cinematic “Measure of a Man,” featured on the soundtrack for The King’s Man film.

Now, we get the first taste of 2022 music from FKA with the release of “Jealousy” featuring Nigerian star Rema. The song is altogether a bit lighter and fluffier than “Tears in the Club,” with production that feels a bit dancehall-inspired, thus working well with Rema’s guest spot. Throughout the record, FKA Twigs herself tries not to get too deep– or at least, that’s what she tells her lover who is attempting to box her in with some sort of unfounded jealousy accusations.

FKA Twigs spoke with Apple Music about this new single as well as the project at large, and in the process, she revealed that Rema was surprisingly difficult to get in touch with, but of course, they found a way.

“It was funny actually, because Rema was quite difficult to get in touch with. One of my closest friends, Irene, she’s Nigerian. We kind of had made a link with Rema’s team, but it was just difficult to get that flow conversation. I was talking to Irene one day and she’s Nigerian. I was just like, “This is like super random but I don’t want to sound weird because I know you’re Nigerian, but you don’t know Rema, do you?” She was like, “Yeah, yeah, no, I do know him.” I was like, “No way.” She’s like, “Yeah, yeah, no, I do know him.” I was like, “Great.” I was like, “You couldn’t tell him to put some extra harmonies on the track. Could you?” It was actually through one of my oldest friends that we ended up connecting and finishing the track through her, which was really sweet. To me, that’s the soul of the record. I’ve really, as you said in the beginning of the conversation, pushed myself to connect more and to be even more collaborative and to grow and step outside of myself,” Twigs told Zane Lowe about how the collaboration came together.

The song was released by surprise the day before CAPRISONGS dropped, twigs stated that “we couldn’t wait” on her Instagram story.

Lyrics

[Chorus: FKA twigs]
I just wanna go outside and feel the sun is shinin’ on my better side
I’ve not always had my way, but I forgive my sins
Yeah, baby, that’s okay
Jealousy you put on me
You’re in your feelings way too deep
Jealousy you put on me
That’s why your mind’s out, mind’s out, why?
Jealousy you put on me
You’re in your feelings way too deep
Jealousy you put on me
That’s why your mind’s out, mind’s out, why?

[Verse 1: Rema & FKA twigs]
Girly, take it easy, take it slow
You follow me everywhere that I go
I gave you the keys to my soul
Now you still don’t believe, baby, I know (I know)
Girl, I’m sick and tired of your drama
Don’t let me take you back to your mama
Twenty missed calls ’cause I’m not home
What you gonna do, only God knows

[Chorus: FKA twigs & Rema, FKA twigs]
Jealousy you put on me
You’re in your feelings way too deep
Jealousy you put on me
That’s why your mind’s out, mind’s out, why? (Fuck it)
Jealousy you put on me
You’re in your feelings way too deep
Jealousy you put on me
That’s why your mind’s out, mind’s out, why?

[Verse 2: FKA twigs]
Waves of motion moving in my life
Waves of motion moving in my—
I want it all for my life
All the things I like, yeah
I’m living true
Knowing that I’m better off without your blue

[Chorus: FKA twigs & Rema, FKA twigs & Rema]
I just wanna go outside and feel the sun is shinin’ on my better side
I’ve not always had my way, but I forgive my sins
Yeah, baby, that’s okay
Jealousy you put on me
You’re in your feelings way too deep
(Why you wanna do me like that?)
Jealousy you put on me
That’s why your mind’s out, mind’s out, why?
Jealousy you put on me
You’re in your feelings way too deep
(Why you wanna do me like that?)
Jealousy you put on me
That’s why your mind’s out, mind’s out, why?

[Outro: Rema & FKA twigs]
Put on me, that’s why your mind’s out
Put on me, that’s why your mind’s out
Why? Eyes, eyes
Jealousy you put on me (Why?)
Put on me, that’s why your mind’s out
Put on me, that’s why your mind’s out
Why? Eye, eyes
