At one point or another, we’ve all experienced the embarrassment and unease of being left on “read” when texting someone, and R&B artist Lucky Daye is no different. In his latest single, titled “On Read,” the RCA singer-songwriter enlists East Londonner Tiana Major9, and the two artists lament on the toxicity that results from a lack of communication.
In the first verse, Lucky Daye assumes the point of view of a hopeless romantic who can’t seem to get commitment, let alone a text, from their love interest. In contrast, Tiana Major9 uses her verse to justify leaving a reckless suitor on “read” with no hesitation. Their contributions are glued together by a melodic and well-written hook, and in its second passing, Major9 sings along to create a lush mini duet from the two artists.
Lucky Daye – On Read (ft. Tiana Major9) (prod. Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman)
[Intro: Lucky Daye]
Hmph
[Verse 1: Lucky Daye]
Baby, call me
We’ve been off, way off track
You don’t hit me back when I need you
Making me weak
What, you gon’ make me beg?
I’d get on my knees if that’d please you
Chat it up
You ain’t gon’ find, how you gonna find a nigga like me, babe?
Show me a sign that you could be mine, I’m looking for a little leeway
I’m in the back corner where you left off ’cause you got me on freeze, baby (Freeze)
I’m checking the log and you ain’t involved
I can’t take it
[Chorus: Lucky Daye & Tiana Major9]
‘Cause you left me on read (On read)
I’ve been waiting all day (Baby, baby)
Got me all in my head (Ooh, ooh)
Everything that we said (Everything you said)
Can we just take our time? (Yeah, yeah)
And you can have some of mine (You, you, ooh-ooh)
But you ain’t made up your mind (Ooh, ooh)
You keep me waiting
You keep me waiting all night
(All night)
Yeah, ayy-ayy, eee
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, ooh-ooh
(All night)
Yeah, ayy, yeah, ayy
[Verse 2: Tiana Major9]
This ain’t no fun
You love the back and forth
Never back your chat with your actions
I ain’t the one
Baby, I’m so headstrong
It’s your lucky day if I answer, oh, ooh-woah (Ooh-woah)
You ain’t gon’ find the sort of reply you’re wanting to get out of me, bae
How many times are you gonna try?
I’m waiting for you to leave it
Blue ticks, sign off, know you want more out of me, bae
Checking your log, I ain’t involved
Know you can’t take it, yeah, yeah
[Chorus: Lucky Daye & Tiana Major9, Tiana Major9, Lucky Daye]
Yeah, I left you on read (Left you on read)
Have you waiting all day
But you was all in your head (Head, yeah)
You deserve what I said (Said, yeah)
Are you wasting my time? (Wasting our time)
You can’t have none of mine (Mine)
Yeah, I’ve made up my mind (Mind)
I’ll have you waiting
I’ll keep you waiting all night (Yeah, ee, yeah)
(All night)
Ooh-ooh, oh, oh-oh, ayy, ayy-ayy
(All night)
Ooh, ooh, yeah, ayy-ayy, uh
[Outro (Spoken Word): Lucky Daye]
How you expect me to sleep?
Like a fiend, sunsets on my needs
You playin’, I’m in a fog
Ain’t no half, I give all
Ain’t no loss when involved
I pause when you call
Hmm, I’m stalled
Yeah, round of applause
So back to my room I go
I anticipate the same M.O
Faithful to the flow
“Faithful” is under the rug
Where it floods
