In 2007, Chipmunk released his third mixtape League of My Own on Alwayz Recordings, which utilized Wiley's little black book of producers, including Bless Beats, Maniac, Balistiyx, Danny Weed, D'Va, Swindle, and Skeams. In 2008 he reaped the rewards of constant touring and promotion, as he won the Best Newcomer Award at the Urban Music and MOBO award ceremonies. People stateside started taking notice as well, when he was nominated for best new rapper at the BET Awards. Just after Chipmunk's 18th birthday, he signed to Sony Columbia, and started moving away from grime into mainstream hip-hop. While striving for the ultimate "banging hook," he teamed up with Ironik for a big-beated remake of Elton John's "Tiny Dancer," complete with backing vocals by Sir Elton himself. In May of 2009, as he put the finishing touches on his debut full-length, Chipmunk released the promo single Chip Diddy Chip and the song reached 21 on the U.K. charts. Adding to the hype, in June, he made his fourth mixtape, Guess Who, available for free by download just a few weeks before his first official album, Diamond Rings, hit the shelves, in early July.
(2)Chip is an American soul vocalist of Stax.

When I cry for you (no explanation needed)
When I cry for you (it's not debated)
When I cry for you (it's so degrading)
When I cry for you (no hesitation)
When I cry for you (no explanation needed)
When I cry for you (it's not debated)
When I cry for you (no hesitation)
And like I'm dreaming on my own
Another dream left all alone
Another reason looking for love
Without a meaning looking for hope
And like I'm dreaming on my own
Another dream left all alone
Another reason looking for love
Without a meaning looking for hope
(When I cry for you)
When I cry for you (no explanation needed)
When I cry for you (it's not debated)
When I cry for you (it's so degrading)
When I cry for you (no hesitation)
When I cry for you (no explanation needed)
When I cry for you (it's not debated)
When I cry for you (it's so degrading)
When I cry for you (no hesitation)
And like I'm dreaming on my own
Another dream left all alone
Another reason looking for love
Without a meaning looking for hope
I'm just sitting here thinking
Thinking about what I started feeling
When I started myself from crying
Replacing what's lost, or at least trying
Never been so out-of-mind
Never been so into-mind
Never been so wondering why
If this is for the best
If this is for the best
Let's put this to the test
Let's put this to the test
Whatever happens next
Let's put this to the test
Let's put this to the test
The lyrics of "For You Girl" by Chip and Donnie explore the emotional turmoil and vulnerability that comes with longing for someone who is not reciprocating the same level of affection. The repetition of the phrase "When I cry for you" signifies the pain and deep sadness that the singer experiences, highlighting the intensity of their emotions. The lyrics also touch upon the struggle to find meaning and hope in a situation where love seems elusive and dreams are left unfulfilled.
The lines "And like I'm dreaming on my own, Another dream left all alone" convey a sense of isolation and longing. The singer feels as though they are trapped in their own dreams, disconnected from reality and unable to find fulfillment. The mention of searching for love without a meaning and hope alludes to the difficulties of finding genuine connections when the desired emotional reciprocity is lacking.
The later part of the song explores introspective thoughts and introspection. The lyrics express the singer's contemplation of their own emotions and actions. They're questioning the reasons behind their feelings, trying to understand why they are so invested in someone who may not feel the same way. The repetition of the lines "If this is for the best, Let's put this to the test" implies a desire to confront the situation head-on and determine the true outcome, whatever it may be.
Overall, "For You Girl" delves into the raw emotions of longing, sadness, and introspection that arise when one's affections are not reciprocated. It captures the emotional struggle and inner turmoil of the singer as they navigate their feelings in the face of unrequited love.

This is low-key the biggest tune on the album. Chip can kill grime all day but he can really shred these dancehall/pop tunes something different too. 🔥🔥🔥
