His debut album, 'Replay', came out on 4 June 2010. Although follow-up singles "Solo" and "So Big" couldn't quite reach the same success, bringing up fan concerns that Iyaz had peaked too early, they also received extensive radio airplay. After performing and collaborating with other artists such as Big Time Rush and Mann, a second album release was expected in late 2013 but has unfortunately been delayed.
Iyaz is known for making lilting reggae-infused R&B melodies inspired by island shorties, wireless romance, and the anguish of unrequited love. The 26-year-old singer, songwriter, and rapper has aimed to strike a balance between radio-friendliness and finding his own voice. His fans eagerly anticipate his sophomore work.
Breathe
Iyaz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'ma just breathe and let it out,
Breathe and let it out,
Breathe and let it out
It started,
We was at the mall, it's the first place we ever met,
Off in a gaze?, I was thinkin' of ways
And as we sittin' sippin' Pina Coladas,
The thoughts wouldn't leave me alone,
I know exactly what I gotta do,
But I'ma let her know when we get home,
My love don't wanna see you cry, no, eh,
And I don't never wanna leaveeee,
This situation got me so lost for words,
But I'ma try to tell you how I feel.
How am I to tell the love of my life,
I'm in love with my best friend,
I play it over and over up in my head,
And I know how it's gonna end,
How am I to tell the love of my life,
I'm in love with my best friend,
I'm tryin' hard to find the word,
But not one seems to make sense.
[Chorus]
Oh baby, lemme holla at you,
'Cause I really think that we need to talk,
And by the way you looked in my eyes,
I could you knew something was wrong,
And as I watched as you tried to plate up,
With the tears fillin' up in your eyes,
You put your hands around my waist
And hugged me tighter and said,
'Baby tell me what's on your mind'
My love, you know me from the get go,
I've always got to keep reall,
This situation got me so lost for words,
But I'ma try to tell you how I feell.
How am I to tell the love of my life,
I'm in love with my best friend,
I play it over and over up in my head,
And I know how it's gonna end,
How am I to tell the love of my life,
I'm in love with my best friend,
I'm tryin' hard to find the word,
But not one seems to make sense.
[Chorus]
Eh, Oh I, Oh I, Oh I,
I'm I love with my best friend
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Iyaz's song "Breathe" tell the story of someone grappling with the difficult decision to confess their love to their best friend, despite being in a relationship with someone else. The singer of the song is torn between their feelings for their friend and their commitment to their current partner. They struggle to find the right words to tell their partner the truth, but ultimately decide to take a breath and let it out, hoping that honesty and communication will lead them to a resolution.
The opening lines of the song establish the setting of the story – the mall, where the singer first met their partner. This acts as a contrast to the feelings of confusion and anxiety that they are currently experiencing. The use of the phrase "It started" indicates that this situation has been building for some time. As they sit and drink Pina Coladas with their partner, they are unable to shake the thoughts of their best friend from their mind. This creates a sense of internal conflict that the singer struggles to reconcile.
The chorus of the song, which repeats throughout, becomes a mantra for the singer as they try to sort out their feelings. The act of breathing in and letting out can be seen as a physical manifestation of the process of clearing one's mind and emotions.
Overall, the lyrics of "Breathe" are an exploration of the complexities of love and relationships, and the difficulties that arise when we are torn between conflicting emotions and allegiances.
