It’s pretty much a given at this point that every single record H.E.R. will drop is fire. The latest, “Wrong Places,” was first debuted by H.E.R. as part of the NBC songwriting competition series, Songland, which basically allows undiscovered, up and coming songwriters to attempt to write a hit for a big artist.
Coming into the show, H.E.R. knew exactly what type of record she wanted to come away with: “I want to hear something that somebody has written from the heart, something I know is gonna make me feel something. My sound is so many things. It’s definitely emotional. Sometimes it’s a lecture. It’s R&B at the core, but it’s so many other things.”
“Wrong Places” by Raquel Castro eventually took the cake, and now we’ve got the record available across DSPs. In a similar vein to previous H.E.R. arrangement, the production features the soothing sounds of an acoustic guitar, which eventually forms a hypnotic loop playing in the background of the beat. Meanwhile, H.E.R. lays her love life bare.
H.E.R. – Wrong Places (prod. DJ Camper)
Lyrics
[Intro]
Mm, show me, mm
[Verse 1]
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Looking for us in all the wrong faces (Faces)
I’m always looking for lust when I’m wine-drunk and faded
Looking for love, I think we should make it
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’ve been feeling lonely
Hold me (Hold me)
Tell me that you think I’m pretty
Show me how to love and then
Show me how to love again, oh, mm
[Verse 2]
I was once told I’m too young to settle (No)
But age ain’t a thing, I’m just too sentimental (Sentimental)
Looking for someone to write all the words to my instrumental (Yeah)
And if I give you my heart, promise you’ll be gentle
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’ve been feeling lonely (Lonely)
Hold me (Hold me)
Tell me that you think I’m pretty
Show me how to love and then
Show me how to love again, oh
‘Cause I’ve been feeling lonely, lonely (I’ve been lonely)
Tell me that you think I’m pretty
Show me how to love and then
Show me how to love again, oh, love me
[Outro]
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, yeah, oh
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love, love again
Oh, love again
