Tyla No 1 Lyrics ft Tems

{Intro: Tyla}
Ah, yeah

{Verse 1: Tyla}
It wasn’t working
I pretended
Tried to finish
You wanna turn it all around
Dodging feelings
I’m too real to forget
I don’t reason
No compromising

{Chorus: Tyla}
Okay, I’m leaving tonight
Okay, I’m good in my life
I gotta put me number one
No compromising
Free from your grip in the world
Feel like a million girl
I gotta put me number one

{Verse 2: Tems}
You don’t give me nothing
Not begging you for something, something
Virtually wasted
Virtually tainted
But it’s not worth it (No)
You’re not my safety
How dare you call me, babe, when you can’t be trusted?
Holding me back, boy, when you make me exhausted
I won’t do it
Time is up for you
I gotta prioritize
No more compromising me

{Chorus: Tyla & Tems}
Okay, I’m leaving tonight
Okay, I’m good in my life
I gotta put me number one
No compromising
Free from your grip in the world
Feel like a million girl
I gotta put me number one
No compromising

Okay, I’m leaving tonight
Okay, I’m good in my life
I gotta put me number one
No compromising
Free from your grip in the world
Feel like a million girl
I gotta put me number one
No compromising

{Outro: Tyla, Tems}
No compromisin’
I gotta put me number one

Lyricism

Tyla No 1 lyrics ft Tems explores a situation where one of the partners gives everything and the other just takes it for granted. This is what happens when one of them is willing to go extra miles and prove to the other one that they care and really love them; on the other hand, the other one just wasn’t to put a leg in and a leg out- like testing the waters.

Tyla ft Tems No 1 then describes how the other partner- in this case- Tyla, is taking away all of that attention and then she asks her partner how it feels for him to be left alone and miss out on all the great things she did for him.

Also, there seems to be an implication that when you go to heaven and beyond for someone, and they don’t reciprocate, it is normal to pull away all the affection because they obviously don’t deserve it anymore. That’s what Tyla No 1 lyrics ft Tems imply

No 1 by Tyla sees her asking a guy why they can’t be closer simply because they have trust issues with one another. Tyla No 1 establishes that while she has tried several times to let her own guard down for the guy, he doesn’t seem to want to do the same with her because of one simple thing- Trust.

It is therefore not surprising that Tyla No 1 lyrics reads:

If anything, she wants an intimate relationship with the guy but it seems like they may never happen considering that he doesn’t mind playing games with her because that way, no one gets hurt.

This then brings us into another aspect of Tyla No 1 ft Tems. They must have had a situation where one of them got hurt either in a previous relationship and they are trying to build walls up so there are no issues or complications at the end of the day.

Delivery

If there is something about Tyla, it is that she is ready for stardom and global recognition as well as making hit songs. The way she delivers songs is with the knowledge that it is hit home or go home. There is no other alternative. Her delivery on  this song with Tems is simply breathtaking.

You can hear every word, every lyric. The dedication she has to her craft is simply mind-blowing and it doesn’t exceed the fact that she knows that her songs are her most expressive form.
