Shortly after, on July 20, 2018, they released their second single, "Feel About You," featuring Mapei. This was followed by their third single, "Loud," which saw Diplo reunite with previous collaborators GoldLink and Desiigner.

The duo's fourth single, "Electricity," was released on September 6, 2018, featuring the prominent British singer and songwriter Dua Lipa. The accompanying music video was also unveiled on the same day, further enhancing the reach of their music.

Feel About You
Silk City Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thought I needed some medicine
But this is how I always been
'Cause we always go too far
Never know when if we will end
Which way do you recommend?
They can know me by heart, my friend
Don't we always go too far?
Never knowing where we will end

That's what I feel about you
That's what I feel about you
That's what I feel about you
That's what I feel about you, babe
That's what I feel about you, babe

Which way do you recommend?
They can know me by heart, my friend
Don't we always go too far?
Never knowing where we will end

That's what I feel about you
That's what I feel about you
That's what I feel about you
That's what I feel about you, babe
That's what I feel about you, babe

That's what I feel about you
That's what I feel about you
That's what I feel about you
That's what I feel about you, babe

That's what I feel about you
That's what I feel about you, babe

That's what I feel about you
That's what I feel about you, babe

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Silk City's song "Feel About You" convey a sense of uncertainty and recklessness in love. The first two lines describe the singer's search for a cure for what ails them - perhaps their feelings for a certain person - but they soon realize that their emotional state is simply a part of their nature. The line "Cause we always go too far" suggests that their relationship with this person is one that is intense and takes risks, but it also implies that they often cross lines they shouldn't. The question "Which way do you recommend?" could either be a genuine query on how to proceed with the relationship or a rhetorical question, as it is quickly followed by the phrase "They can know me by heart, my friend." This line could imply that the singer's friend knows them better than they know themselves or that they are becoming too well-known to others, including their lover.

The chorus repeats the phrase "That's what I feel about you, babe" several times, cementing the notion that their passionate, complicated feelings for this person are constantly on their mind. The song is open-ended and doesn't offer any clear resolution, but it does paint a vivid picture of a relationship that is neither safe nor easy, but is still worth pursuing despite the risks.
