Anderson.Paak – You’re Mine Ft. Cordae

Say it to a lover and it is sweet. Say it to a child and it is protective. Say it with a different tone and it becomes possessive. That is why the title is interesting, because the meaning depends completely on who is speaking and how. In our culture, we hear versions of it everywhere, from wedding speeches to the phone calls between mothers and sons.

I always think the best love titles are the plain ones. Nobody needs a poem when three words can do the job. It gives you a clear picture of the relationship in the song without telling you anything unnecessary, and it leaves the rest to your own memories.

The track appears on Heavy Is The Crown, and Cordae is on it. You’re Mine shows up in a collaboration between a singer who began as a drummer and a rapper, which hints at two voices approaching the same feeling in different styles.

It suits a quiet evening with someone you care about, or a long phone call when neither person wants to be the first to hang up.
