Love doesn’t follow orders — it rewrites the why and how.

Caeli August returns with “I Was Sent,” a darkly poetic Afrotrap-R&B fusion produced by NuVox and written by Aime Pandi Bapaga. What begins as a mission of betrayal unravels into a quiet confession — a war between duty and love, control and surrender. Lush piano chords, ghostly harmonies, and gentle Afrotrap percussion wrap around Caeli’s intimate vocal delivery in this haunting dream of a song.

Title: I Was Sent
Lyrics: Aime Pandi Bapaga

I wasn’t meant to feel this much —
Just meant to touch, then go.
Trace the fracture in your dreams,
Turn your fire down low.
They told me you would rise,
Your name lit up the skies.
So I learned your favorite songs
And slipped beneath your lies.

You laughed like a man who didn’t know
He was dancing on borrowed time.
I was trained to bend your will…
But now I’m swallowing mine.

I was sent to steal your crown,
To slow your future down.
One kiss was just the spark —
Then vanish in the dark.
But I stayed…
You made me stay.
Now I’m torn between the silence
And the words I couldn’t say.

You speak like faith still breathes,
Like love’s too deep to fake.
But baby, if I told the truth…
Would you think my heart’s a snake?
They showed me all you’d build,
The weight your hands would hold.
So I danced into your dream
To blur your road to gold.

Every touch was meant to stall,
A pause before the fall.
But now I lie awake at night
Praying you won’t change at all…

I was sent to steal your light,
But you shine too deep, too right.
I was meant to shape your fate…
Now I’m showing up too late.
I stayed…
You made me stay.
Now I’m caught between the silence
And the price I have to pay.

You were meant to change the world…
So they feared you in the now.
But love don’t follow orders —
It rewrites the why and how.
If I vanish come the morning,
Let this be the line I meant:
I never came to break you…
But still —
I was sent.

I was sent…
But I stayed…
And I loved you anyway.
