[Verse 1: Khalid]
Sorry if it's hard to catch my vibe, mmm
I need a lover to trust, tell me you're on my side
Are you down for the ride?
It's not easy for someone to catch my eye
But I've been waitin' for you for my whole damn life
My whole lifetime

[Pre-Chorus: Khalid]
Don't be afraid to tell me if you ain't with it
I see you're focused, yeah you're so independent
It's hard for me to open up, I'll admit it
You've got some shit to say and I'm here to listen

[Chorus: Khalid & Normani]
So baby, tell me where your love lies
Waste the day and spend the night
Underneath the sunrise
Show me where your love lies

[Verse 2: Normani]
I've been so into your mystery
Is it because of our history?
Are you into me?
When it feels so good, but it's bad for you
Can't say I don't want it 'cause I know I do
Come on over, I need your company
Cravin' that synergy

[Pre-Chorus: Normani]
Don't be afraid to tell me if you ain't with it
I see you're focused, yeah, you're so independent
It's hard for me to open up, I'll admit it
You've got some shit to say and I'm here to listen

[Chorus: Khalid & Normani]
So baby, tell me where your love lies
Waste the day and spend the night
Underneath the sunrise
Show me where your love lies
Tell me where your love lies
Waste the day and spend the night
Underneath the sunrise
Show me where your love lies

[Bridge: Khalid & Normani]
If you're down, don't hide it
Feelin' me, you don't gotta deny it
Baby you gon' make me overnight it
Tell me, are you down?
If you're down, don't hide it
Feelin' me, you don't gotta deny it
Baby you gon' make me overnight it
Tell me, are you down?

[Chorus: Khalid & Normani, Normani]
Tell me where your love lies (tell me where your love lies)
Waste the day and spend the night (waste the day, spend the night)
Underneath the sunrise (underneath the sunrise)
Show me where your love lies (tell me where your love lies)
Tell me where your love lies (show me where your love lies)
Waste the day and spend the night (yeah, yeah)
Underneath the sunrise (ooh)
Show me where your love lies

[Outro]
Tell me where your love lies
Waste the day and spend the night
Underneath the sunrise
Show me where your love lies

Khalid & Normani

‘Love Lies’ is a single from the soundtrack for Love, Simon, a brand new LGBTQIA+ teen drama. Zane Lowe premiered the highly anticipated single at 17:00 (GMT) on Beats 1 today. Since then we’ve been in awe, listening to it on repeat. The brand new track is a modern ballad about heartbreak which puts Normani and Khalid’s talent center stage.

As well as playing the single on Beats 1, Normani and Khalid were also interviewed by Zane. Discussing Normani, Khalid “She’s so like me in so many different ways and we have so much fun together and she’s so honest and so real and just nice.”

He also went on to “There’s not a lot of nice people in the world but she’s one of the nicest.” Meanwhile, on why the song is so good, Normani “It’s just because we’re genuine friends.” “I’m recording full-time on tour. I have a good friend of mine who is engineering the whole thing. I recorded a couple songs in the past few weeks that are my best songs yet.” – @thegreatkhalid on his next album.
