![]() ![]() This song was written and produced by the two vocalists. It didn’t get around to charting, as sort of alluded to earlier, until 2021. And it did so admirably, breaking the top 20 of the UK Singles Chart, topping the Sweden Heatseeker listing and charting in over 10 nations overall.Īnd it also marks Willow’s best showing on the Billboard Hot 100 since the previously noted “Whip My Hair”, which still firmly holds the distinction of being her biggest hit.įor the record, Willow Smith was 19 years old when this song came out on 13 March 2020 and Tyler Cole, 21. This song we’re covering today is derived from The Anxiety album. And the reason we’re compelled to cover it now is because the tune recently went viral of TikTok. The Anxiety is the name of a collaborative project between Willow and Tyler Cole. The former, as you probably already know, is the daughter of a couple of famous, sometimes-professional musicians themselves, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith. And being born to this pair of A listers afforded the songstress the opportunity to drop her first single, “ Whip My Hair” (2010), before she even turned 10 year old.īetween 20, Willow got around to releasing four studio albums. And Tyler Cole, who is more of a newjack on the scene, was heavily involved in the creation of the latter two of those, 2019’s Willow and 2021’s Lately I Feel Everything. And in between those projects, in 2020 they came out with a joint album, where Cole is also featured vocally, entitled The Anxiety. So conclusively, taking all of the lyrics into consideration, “Meet Me at Our Spot” can be best classified as a friendship song. That is to say that in truth there is no identifiably romantic element to the lyrics, even though it’s being relayed by a man and woman. But still, it is obvious that the only time the two of them are most happy, intoxication and cruising and hangout spots aside, is when they are together. But again, the lyrics don’t actually go there. In fact all things considered, we could perhaps even go as far as to postulate that drunk or intoxicated driving, which by the way many people actually find enjoyable, is being referenced to as an aspect of this narrative. (where both Willow and Tyler are based).Īlso, the reason we used the word party earlier is because in his verse, Cole notes, in a sly kinda way, that alcohol is part of this equation also. the one the other person calls when they feel overly stressed.īeyond that there is sort of a party – for lack of a better term – vibe to this piece also. That is to say that part of the aforementioned chillin’ would be the two of them hitting the road together, seemingly enjoying the bright lights of L.A. It may be that they’re romantic interests, but if so the lyrics don’t really go there. More to the point would be the fact that they’re besties, i.e. ![]() the narrators having a “spot” that they “meet” up at when they want to chill together and effectively find some relief. Then following on with the rest of the lyrics, everyone just does exaggerating gestures for whatever Willow sings, like looking into your eyes and staying for the night.But in the meantime, there’s still these mental issues to be dealt with. And it is that concept which lies at the heart of this narrative, i.e. ![]() This gesture is, according to KnowYourMeme, meant to signify ice in your veins. Whilst Willow sings Meet Me At Our Spot, everyone sort of bobs about and then when she bursts into “caught a vibe” they do the notorious “ TikTok arm thing“. What’s the dance trend that goes with it? The live version of Meet Me At Our Spot is the one that went viral, and the two released it as a single on October 22nd 2021. Meet Me At Our Spot is actually a collaboration with Tyler Cole (who produced Willow’s 2019 self titled album) under the name The Anxiety. At first listen, I thought Meet Me At Our Spot, aka “caught a vibe” on TikTok, was a track from that album. Willow Smith, who has had a huge 2021 thanks to her rock resurgence and work with Travis Barker on her new album Lately I Feel Everything, is singing – and it’s called Meet Me At Our Spot.
