New Music: Willow Smith - 'Romance'
Willow Smith muses on morality, ancient biology, and love on “Romance,” the new single off her upcoming album The 1st.
Accompanied by an acoustic guitar, Will and Jada’s daughter delivers impassionate vocals about tender moments and confusion.
“Morality doesn’t exist,” she sings. “It’s a construct we breed into children who see / We create our paradox, we create all our lives.”
But the evocative song also offers Willow’s take on social commentary. “I’m imagining a different history,” she sings. “Where man and woman stay equal / In the eyes of society / Where we don’t condemn different people / For exercising their freedom.”
