Trivia

Interesting facts about Waves. By Songfacts.

This was earmarked to be the title track of Kanye West's seventh album at one point, but it was scrapped when the rapper revealed The Life Of Pablo album title. After the Yeezy Season 3 presentation/album listening event, the record's release was delayed because Chance The Rapper insisted that "Waves" should be on the album. The pair then worked in the studio late into the night to save the track from hard-drive purgatory. Chance The Rapper tweeted: "I fought everyone to keep Waves on the album. I spent all night finishing it. The world is better because of it."


Chris Brown croons the hook in which he compares his love for a girl with water waves. The waves never die but instead disperse back into the body of water and Breezy states that may come and go, but his feelings for her, like the waves, will always remain.


The "Turn it up!" ad lib, which is repeated several times throughout the song, is sampled from 1980's hip hop collective Fantastic Freaks' cut "Fantastic Freaks at the Dixie."
