In "Suddenly," Emo Grae sings about a romantic relationship that unexpectedly grew between two friends. The lyrics suggest that the couple's connection developed naturally, with the two of them starting to blend together as more than just friends. As the song progresses, the lyrics describe the couple's growing passion and physical intimacy with lines like "we sharing bed" and "you calling me names like honey, darling." The lyrics also express the singer's uncertainty about the relationship's origin, questioning if it was due to alcohol or weed. However, despite the ambiguity, the singer knows one thing for sure: they want the other person.
The chorus of the song, where Emo Grae repeats "suddenly," seems to imply that the singer is surprised by the turn their relationship has taken. They feel as if the person they are singing to has suddenly become a part of them with a spell, and that the person is now their energy. The lyrics also suggest that the person has calmed and cooled the singer, almost like an air conditioning system ("girl you cool me no AC"). The song closes with the singer admitting to the person they are singing to that they are constantly on their mind, and that they have become an important part of their life.
