The single follows “Paradise” and “Focus” and surrounds Bazzi’s feelings towards his girlfriend and supermodel, Renee Herbert.
While most of Bazzi’s music is teased months in advance, “I.F.L.Y.” was first teased a mere three days before the track’s official release.
Bazzi released the official music video for “I.F.L.Y” five days later after the release of the song on his YouTube channel.
Shortly after the release of his debut album, "COSMIC", Bazzi began dating Australian supermodel Renee Herbert. Bazzi seemingly officially confirmed the rumors on June 24th, 2018 when he released “lookatyou” on her birthday, which talked about his love and dedication to her. The cover art for “lookatyou” also showed the model barebacked in a field of sunflowers.
Three days before the track released, Bazzi posted a video of him grooving to the song in his car. The next day, Bazzi asked his fans if he should drop a new song on Thursday, which he officially announced on July 17, 2019.
I.F.L.Y.

This my
Look
Touchin' you slowly, love how you hold me
I was a player, that was the old me
I sent a prayer for something holy
Got naked and show me
At first, I was hesitant
(Spooky) like a skeleton
You, 20, but intelligent
Now all them other bitches so irrelevant, ah-ah, yeah
Tan lines and some memories (woo)
Guess summer got the best of me (woo)
Chef B with the recipe, yeah
With you, it's a better me
I guess what I'm sayin', I guess what I'm sayin'
I guess what I'm sayin' is, I
I fuckin' love you
I guess what I'm sayin', I guess what I'm sayin'

But that don't mean a thing unless I'm next to you

Next to me, when I'm with you, you bring out the best of me
God made you a twin, but you the one I see
But shoutout to Elisha, that's my baby (yeah, yeah, yeah)
But if I wrote you a love song, would you sing it?
If I needed bail out of jail, would you bring it?
If I win, then we're up, if we fail, then we wing it

@helloearth11
No he's not underrated... He makes good music and everyone here knows it. Just because many people know an artist doesn't mean that they are great, fame isn't the measure for real talent, Bazzi is great and that's why only few know him.

I like keeping him to myself haha
