Tems Tells Apple Music About Her Song, “Love Me JeJe”
“Love Me JeJe” is a sweet, happy song about finding unconditional love. The joy of finding a love that doesn’t run out, and not settling for anything else and just basking in the sun, basking in love, in that unconditional type of love.
Tems Tells Apple Music About Her Song, “Me & U”
“Me & U” is about reconnecting with God. It’s a new conversation. It’s about reconnecting with your inner child and the truth. It’s about now being honest with yourself about who you are and about having faith that everything is going to be okay as long as you believe.
