Details

• In 2016 Michael described his songwriting process to grimygoods.com "I usually have 2-3 lines or ideas that direct the concept of the song. And then I’ll sit with that for a while and keep trimming the fat. That’s how I do the lyrics."
  
  This song has the three big lines: 1 - one more night till the morning; 2 - I'll be right, I'll be right in the morning; 3 - I'll be holding on.
• I don't want Michael Kiwanuka to be happy. His sad songs are just too good.
