“Best Part” features H.E.R., another R&B singer. This song provides the same feeling as “Get You,” but it has its own unique lyrics.
To open the second verse, H.E.R. sings, “You’re the coffee that I need in the morning / You’re my sunshine in the rain when it’s pouring.”
Caesar and H.E.R. sing about the devotion they have for their partner. The chorus goes on to explain their partner’s qualities and the need for their love. The lyrics convey a special bond between two people who are irreplaceable.
Overall, this album brings amazing songs to this genre, and it outlines the true love that this generation lacks.
