Location

Khalid is a singer from El Paso, Texas. This is his debut single, which was released when he was 18 years old.

The song finds Khalid calling out for the sort of love you would travel across the country to find. He told his school newspaper: "It's just a story of searching for something that we all want in life no matter who we are and that's a real genuine lover, but it doesn't come easy."

The bass-heavy production was provided by Syk Sense, Tunji Ige, and Smash David. Khalid recalled to Rolling Stone: "Syk Sense flew me to Atlanta the first time. We had this long session, and he asked me, 'Do you want to end the session or do you want to continue?' I'm like, 'I want to continue.' He played the 'Location' loop. I made the chorus there, then I had to go back to high school. I waited for my next vacation, which was spring break, and I recorded the rest. My mom helped me out with the harmonies of the song, I released it a couple weeks before prom, and I won prom king. Now I'm singing 'Location' and everyone knows the words."
