about

‘Sugarcaine’ is a groovy contemporary R&B track that depicts the internal battles experienced by a person in a romantic relationship — one riddled with constant hardship and thrill, much like the opposing forces of two magnets. The music features an addictive hook accompanied by silky smooth guitar lines, deep growling Moog bass, and lush chords on the electric piano.

lyrics

[Instrumental intro]

[Verse 1]
Pure elation
Renew my tenancy
Pupils dilating
Fulfill my prophecy

[Pre-Chorus]
Take this piece of advice
You’ve got to make a change
Can’t we just work this out?
I don’t want this to end now

[Hook]
Baby, you’re my sugarcaine
Conquer my domain
Relieve all of my pain
Sugarcaine

(You’re just a) Makeshift love affair
Road that leads nowhere
We’re just castles in the sand
Never land

[Verse 2]
It’s been a while
Just give me one more line (one more line)
Fighting this trial
My mind has been confined

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Things just couldn’t get better
You’ve got to make a change
Can’t we just work this out?
I don’t want this to end now

[Hook]
Baby, you’re my sugarcaine
Conquer my domain
Relieve all of my pain
Sugarcaine

(You’re just a) Makeshift love affair
Road that leads nowhere
We’re just castles in the sand
Never land

[Bridge]
It’s too late babe
To turn back now
Our time has come

It’s too late babe
To turn back now
Our time has come

[Instrumental outro]

PORA represents a new chapter in alternative R&B, drawing on influences—soul-baring heartbreaks, exaggerated swagger, the kaleidoscopic relationships in the modern age—that help to expand R&B’s language while keeping continuity with the past. ... more
