## Music and composition

Rocky talking about the creative / inspirational process of the track:

> "To be honest, when I wrote that song I was - obviously by the title, it's called 'Low' - kind of in a situation where you just wake up and you're like, "Damn, why am I in such a funk? What's going on?" No matter how good stuff is going you still kind of get in those moments. So that was kind of one of thoses moments for me. When i finished the track I wasn't necessarily still in that low state of mind, I was actually kind of happy and a lot of good things were happening. So, the ending result of the track kind of has an uplifting feeling while the lyrics are questioning a little more of sadness and, "What is life?"."

## Critical reception

The track had favorable reviews. The Odyssey said: "Produced and written by Rocky alone, "Low" serves as a laidback, enthralling track, similar to the styles of "Afterglow". The various mindsets and emotions experienced by Rocky in process of creating the single contributed to its success. The track's origins, stemming from a "low" place at the time of its composition, conclude with Rocky in a higher frame of mind, making for an engaging story behind the creative beats and infectious lyrics we hear."

## Lyrics

[Intro]

Never did I know

I could get this low

I could get this low for you

Now the sun don't shine

And the rain don't pour

And I'm still thinking about you

[Verse 1]

Roll out of bed and straight up to the cloud

Inside my plastic real estate

I found an angel and she lives here now

But I can't get her out my case

[Pre-Chorus]

Then she got away

Somehow, somehow, somehow

So I'll go and fake

My smile, my smile (Yeah)

[Chorus]

Never did I know

I could get this low

I could get this low for you

And now the sun don't shine

And the rain don't pour

And I'm still thinking about you

Never did I know

I could get this low

I could get this low for you

Yet still I do, yet still I do

Could get this low, I never knew

[Post-Chorus]

I could get this low

I could get this low

I could get this low for you

[Verse 2]

Sometimes I wonder why I'm in this place

And maybe I will never know (Never know)

But if I ever learn from my mistakes

The future ain't predictable (No, no, no)

[Pre-Chorus]

She ain't coming back

Oh, I'll, oh, I'll, oh, I'll (She ain't coming back)

So I'll go and fake

My smile, my smile (Yeah)

[Chorus]

Never did I know

I could get this low

I could get this low for you

And now the sun don't shine

And the rain don't pour

And I'm still thinking about you

Never did I know

I could get this low

I could get this low for you

Yet still I do, yet still I do

Could get this low, I never knew

[Bridge]

I could get this low

I could get this low

I could get this low for you

I could get this low

I could get this low

I could get this low for you

Oh, I'll, oh, I'll, oh, I'll

My smile, my smile (Yeah)

[Chrous]

Never did I know

I could get this low

I could get this low for you

And now the sun don't shine

And the rain don't pour

And I'm still thinking about you

Never did I know

I could get this low

I could get this low for you

Yet still I do, yet still I do

Could get this low, I never knew

[Outro]

I could get this low

I could get this low

I could get this low for you

I could get this low

I could get this low

I could get this low for you
