“Love Again” by Daniel Caesar & Brandy

In “Love Again”, Daniel Caesar and Brandy apparently play the role of lovers, albeit disenfranchised ones. That is to say that their relationship seems to be highlighted by strife between them. However, this contention appears to be founded on miscommunication as opposed to genuine ill will. That is because it is obvious that they both want to rectify these issues. Indeed the title of the song, “love again”, is based on their belief and desire that such can actually transpire, as in the two of them “find(ing) love again”.

So in a lot of ways, this song reads as one in which, instead of giving up on a painful romance, its participants have instead decided to work things out and reclaim the love which once existed between them. But it can also be interpreted  as the two of them recuperating from unrelated romances, being lonely in that regard intent on making it happen between them (though the former theory is more-plausible, considering that Daniel states that he ‘misses her love’ in the chorus). 

Either way, it is clear the singers are dealing with (and trying to overcome) trust issues and that doing so will enable them to “love again”. And in that regard, according particularly to the chorus and second verse, it would seem that Brandy is the one who is more optimistic that their relationship will actually work out.

    The song’s title makes it clear that it is mainly centered on recovering from a previous heartbreak or restoring a broken relationship.

    Here, Daniel Caesar and Brandy take turns to highlight the flaws of their lovers while trying to justify their comeback. From the man’s perspective, she is always on an emotional rollercoaster, while the woman thinks that the man puts on a tough and unemotional outlook.

    Despite these issues which seem to keep them apart, they are both willing to try to find a common ground for their relationship and heal from the hurt. They both suggest that they should take each other’s hand and hold on until things get better or worse so they can make an informed decision.

    Brandy mentioned in an interview with Global Grind in May 2020 that she would be releasing a solo version of this song.
