Born in Connecticut and raised in Coral Springs, Florida, Dion comes from a musical background; his father is a rapper and his maternal grandfather was a well-known Portuguese singer. Music was his passion and focus from a young age and after being featured on Kehlani's 2014 mixtape Cloud Nineteen, he relocated to Los Angeles. Within L.A.'s vibrant scene, he found his footing, and released the 2016 EP Painting Sounds. Presenting a bright panoply of pop, R&B, funk, and soul, Dion spent the next three years issuing eclectic, catchy singles like "Baby Esther" and the falsetto-heavy ballad "Brown," the latter of which became the heavily streamed standout of his 2019 debut album Suga. Appearing two years later, his full-length follow-up, Sassy, embraced his playful, fun-loving attitude. 2022 saw Dion team up with Zimbabwean-Australian rapper Tkay Maidza on the slinky single "Hazy."
Brown
Kyle Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But all I see is you
Laying down, taking up all of the sun
Save some for me
I know there's more layers to rip up off you
Grab a towel and meet me in the house
Dripping chocolate all over the bedroom
Drowning in your softly spoken sounds
Fills me up with just the right amount
Easy on the soul, my brown
Wrap me in between, I want it now
Everybody love that cocoa brown
Grab my keys, you'll take the wheel
I keep it cool
I get my cash from out your chest
It's safe with you
I like it how you try to hold back but that don't last long
We driving too fast right past all the milestones
Pulled up on my pressure treated driveway
Touching ‘fore we made it through the door
Raced you to my room, ran up the staircase
Opposite of you waits on the floor
No need for more
I can't live without my brown
Fills me up with just the right amount
Easy on the soul, my brown
Wrap me in between, I want it now
Everybody love that cocoa brown
Ooh baby
The song "Brown" by Kyle Dion is a smooth, sensuous track that is a tribute to his lover. The lyrics talk about the physical appeal of his brown-skinned love interest and how he is infatuated with her. The start of the song sets the scene; he is surrounded by pretty girls by the pool, but his focus remains on his brown-skinned love. He wishes to share the sun with her, and he sees more layers to rip off her as he looks at her lying down. He invites her to the house dripping in chocolate, indicating that she is the sweetest thing in his life.
The second verse of the song talks about how he is comfortable with her and trusts her with his savings, and she is the one driving the car, a subtle nod to gender reversal roles. The song ends with him racing her to his room and completing the final lap when he is on the floor with her. The repetition of the line, "I can't live without my brown" emphasizes his love and dedication to his lover.
