The song "I Fell In Love With The DJ" by Che'nelle Feat. Cham narrates the story of a woman who falls in love with a DJ. The lyrics reveal that Che'nelle walked into a club with a partner and met a DJ, who blew her kisses. The DJ called her over knowing that she was taken, and they started to spend time together. However, her boyfriend eventually found out and followed her to the DJ's house with a knife. Che'nelle tried to explain to her boyfriend that they were just friends but was saved by the fact that she had a CD in her hand. Ultimately, she couldn't resist the DJ's charm and continued to fall for him, despite the consequences.
The song portrays themes of love, betrayal, and infidelity, as Che'nelle falls for someone other than her partner. The setting of the club and the DJ's house adds to the temptation that Che'nelle experiences. The lyrics also suggest that Che'nelle cannot resist the DJ's charm, despite knowing his rough and tough persona. Ultimately, the song suggests that love can be unexpected, and it can cause people to behave in ways they never thought they would.

I can't believe how criminally underrated this song is. It should have been much bigger when it was released.
