When Garfield drops a new single, you know you’re in for something that cuts deeper than surface-level beats and catchy hooks. “Who You Lovin?” featuring SYN is a gripping exploration of pain, loss, and vulnerability wrapped in a sound that’s as captivating as it is cleansing. This track pulls no punches. Garfield’s storytelling is intensely personal, inspired by the heartbreak of losing his mother to ALS and the end of a meaningful relationship. Yet, despite the heavy themes, “Who You Lovin?” isn’t a mournful lament.
It’s a powerful track fueled by sliding 808s and crisp hi-hats that keep the tempo ominous but infectious. It’s this contrast that makes the song stand out as a dynamic pairing of melancholy and energy that grabs you from the first beat and doesn’t let go. Garfield’s delivery carries the weight of his story with a rare combination of intensity and intimacy. There’s a raw honesty in his voice, a clear window into his emotional world that invites listeners to feel every word alongside him. The hook “Who you lovin’ on these days, who you touching on these days, ’cause it ain’t me baby… who’s gon’ love you like me these days?” is unforgettable, a vulnerable confession that lingers long after the song ends.
This is a track about heartbreak and a reflection of Garfield’s environment and experiences, channeled through a sound that pushes toward something timeless and deeply human. “Who You Lovin?” is brutally honest, emotionally charged, and impossible to ignore. It’s proof that Garfield’s music is about telling stories that resonate with real life, pain, and pride. For anyone who’s ever loved, lost, or felt the sting of someone moving on, Garfield’s latest single is a must-listen. It’s a powerful narrative that stays with you long after the beat fades.
