The song is basically about being deeply in love, wanting commitment, attraction, and the anxiety that can come when you really care about someone. 2Baba sings from the perspective of someone ready to settle down, while FAVE brings a younger, softer vocal style that contrasts with his more experienced delivery.
One interesting thing is that “Mental” is also being used as a lead-in to 2Baba’s upcoming album Oldest Young Man, his first full-length album in about six years.
So, in simple terms: it’s a love song about being so emotionally invested in someone that love starts driving you “mental.” ❤️🎶
