Here, James Blake captures the heady rise of new love, inspired by his relationship with actress and TV presenter Jameela Jamil. I can't believe the way we flow I can't believe the way we live together Blake is ecstatic and awestruck at the brilliance of true love.
Blake explained in an iTunes interview: "It's a pure love song, really. It's just about the ease of coexisting that I feel with my girlfriend. It's fairly simple in its message and in its delivery, hopefully. Romance is a very commercialized subject, but sometimes it can just be a peaceful moment of ease and something even mundane - just the flow between days and somebody making it feel like the days are just going by, and that's a great thing."
The song originated with a sample that producer Dominic Maker brought in of The Manhattans' "It Feels So Good to Be Loved So Bad." Blake told Genius that he started getting melodic ideas and "followed the theme of what they were singing in the sample," So after "can't believe the way we flow," it was a short stretch to a love song.
