Despite recording his most viral songs on just his iPhone, he’s taken over the internet with his gratifying voice, somber lyrics, and vintage production that was poised to blow up.
d4vd began releasing music on streaming platforms in November, 2021. In the early stages of David’s music career, he would release rap and indie songs along with a drill mixtape named “The Hoodstar Diary.”
d4vd often experiments with his sound, making songs with genres like Indie, RnB, Hip-Hop, and Rock.
In July 2022, he received tons of recognition after releasing his most popular tracks, “Romantic Homicide” and “Here With Me”
A month after his rapid rise to fame, his hit single “Romantic Homicide” debuted at #77 on the Billboard Hot 100 during the chart week ending of September 17, 2022. It’s known to be d4vd’s first entry on the chart.
"I want d4vd to be a genre in itself, so I try to be as versatile as I can with the sounds that I use and how I convey emotion."

Decide
d4vd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know, you don′t know, we don't know, just stay right there
Can't we just take our time?
We don′t have to get attached
I know what the problem is
I cannot wait until I undo all my mistakes
Maybe then we can just run away
I hope you feel the same way I do
Take me far, I'm lifting off
The weather seems to fail
I decide, you decide, we decide, we can′t go back
I don't know, you don′t know, we don't know, just stay right there
Can′t we just take our time? We don't have to get attached
I know what the problem is
Save your tears, seven years
I know life is complicated
You don't have to say no more
Don′t know if I′m going to make it
We both have to find a way to work it out
My head is aching
You're the one that started this
Someone find me
Hiding away
I′m in here with
Every fear you save
Watch your step, getting close to the edge
Praying you don't fall
I decide, you decide, we decide, we can′t go back
I don't know, you don′t know, we don't know, just stay right there
Can't we just take our time? We don′t have to get attached
I know what the problem is
Save your tears, seven years
I know life is complicated
You don′t have to say no more
Don't know if I′m going to make it
We both have to find a way to work it out
My head is aching
You're the one that started this
The song "Decide" by d4vd is a melancholic and introspective piece that deals with the complexities of making decisions in relationships. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I decide, you decide, we decide, we can't go back," which emphasizes the finality of choices made in relationships. The singer of the song acknowledges the difficulty of making decisions and the consequences that come with them, but also recognizes that it is necessary to move forward.
The lyrics also touch on the fear of attachment and the desire to run away from past mistakes. The line "I cannot wait until I undo all my mistakes, maybe then we can just run away" suggests that the singer wants to escape the problems they have caused and start anew. However, the repetition of "just stay right there" in the chorus implies that the singer also desires stability and doesn't want to lose what they have.
The lyrics capture the emotional turmoil and uncertainty inherent in relationships, and the need to find a way to work things out amidst the chaos.
