Song Description
City of Love is a smooth neo-soul groove about a late-night moment where everything feels suspended in time. Neon lights, warm summer air, and two people discovering a connection that makes the whole world fade away. With soulful vocals, stacked harmonies, and expressive sax weaving through the groove, the song builds around the hook "City of love, take me there"--a place that isn't on any map, but exists whenever the right two hearts meet.

Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Met you on a corner under neon lights
Your heartbeat matching mine tonight
Whispers drifting down the avenue
Every little thing feels new with you
Dancing through the shadows just you and me
Your hand pulling closer naturally
Every touch sending sparks above
Feels like we found our city of love
(Pre-Chorus)
Take my hand don't let go tonight
Something in the air just feels so right
Every step pulling me closer to
Somewhere I've never been with you
And I know
Yeah I know
This is where we belong
(Chorus)
City of love take me there
City of love take me there
Every little moment when you're right here
City of love neon skies
All I see tonight is your eyes
City of love hearts collide
Nothing in the world but you by my side
City of love don't wake me up
I never felt a feeling this much
Never felt a feeling this much
(Verse 2)
Summer wind moving through your hair
Streetlights painting colors everywhere
You pull me close like we got all night
Laughing like the world feels right
Moving slow while the music plays
Your lips brushing mine halfway
Every second lifting me above
Deeper inside this city of love
(Pre-Chorus)
Take my hand don't let go tonight
Something in the air just feels so right
Every step pulling me closer to
Somewhere I've never been with you
And I know
Yeah I know
This is where we belong
(Chorus)
City of love take me there
City of love take me there
Every little moment when you're right here
City of love neon skies
All I see tonight is your eyes
City of love hearts collide
Nothing in the world but you by my side
City of love don't wake me up
I never felt a feeling this much
Never felt a feeling this much
(Bridge)
Slow it down don't rush the night
Let the rhythm move us in the light
In the heartbeat of the midnight rush
All I really need is us
(Chorus)
City of love take me there
City of love take me there
Every little moment when you're right here
City of love neon skies
All I see tonight is your eyes
City of love hearts collide
Nothing in the world but you by my side
City of love don't wake me up
I never felt a feeling this much
Never felt a feeling this much
Right here with you in the city of love
