Story Behind The Song

"So We Thought" came from the idea that two people can be in the same relationship and believe two completely different things. She believed he was her forever and trusted the promises he made. He became comfortable and assumed she would always stay, even while failing to give her the love and commitment she needed. Eventually she realizes that loving someone doesn't mean losing yourself, and she chooses to walk away.

Song Description

"So We Thought" is an emotional R&B/soul song about love, disappointment, and finally recognizing your own worth. The narrator believed she had found a lasting love and trusted the promises that came with it. But over time, she realizes that while she was holding onto forever, he had grown comfortable believing she would stay no matter how she was treated. The central hook, "I thought you were forever, you thought I'd never leave," captures the two completely different assumptions that ultimately bring the relationship to an end. Rather than begging for the relationship to survive, she reaches the point where she understands what she deserves and walks away.
