WORD WORD WORD ft. Jed (prod. Josh Sallee)

Him (freestyle) - Josh Sallee

“When I Say I Love You" opens as an intimate father's confession, questioning whether his children truly believe in his love while grappling with self-doubt and the crushing weight of modern parenthood. What begins as vulnerable introspection gradually reveals itself as something more urgent - a meditation on how authentic human connection becomes an act of resistance in a world that treats families like banks and children like commodities. The track moves through the daily struggle of working multiple jobs while missing precious moments, the systemic pressures that reduce parental love to financial transactions, and the breaking point where words themselves feel inadequate to express the depth of paternal devotion.

Set against dreamy, psychedelic production that creates space for both contemplation and emotional release, the song builds to a powerful declaration that distinguishes real love from both saccharine romanticism and cold calculation. The haunting refrain "You feel it? It's in our blood" serves as both question and answer, grounding abstract concepts in visceral, shared humanity. This is a father's blueprint for choosing authentic connection over performative sentiment, creating "rich soil for souls to grow" despite living in a system designed to exploit that very tenderness. The track ultimately positions parental love as the fundamental force worth protecting and the reason to keep fighting for a more human world.
