Xander P – Love Me (feat. Eryn Lanaie) [Single]

In “Love Me,” Xander P teams up with Eryn Lanaie to dig into the tough spots of a rocky relationship, delivering a tune that’s easy to relate to and hard to forget. This song sits right at home in the soulful hip-hop scene, with Xander‘s straight-shooting words meshing perfectly with Eryn‘s no-nonsense approach, creating a sound that hits close to home for many.

The music behind their voices is just as telling. Soft Wurlitzer chords, laced with a cassette tape warble effect, set a thoughtful mood while a lo-fi percussion loop and punchy drum beat anchor the track’s emotional gravity. It’s this rhythm section that stands out and offers a steady backing for the expressive emcees.

Xander‘s introspection shines through in lines like “I’ma lift you up, ain’t meant to be an obstacle/ I can shine like your sun and never be the prodigal,” showing he’s all about being there for his darling baby, despite the rough patches. Eryn Lanaie doesn’t hold back either. When she says, “You like to fuck with my feelings on the low key/ You love me when I’m here, but when you out you act like you don’t know me,” it’s like she’s calling out every fly-by-night lover out there, making it clear she’s tired of the games.

In “Love Me,” Xander P lays it all out there, challenging the games people play in love, while Eryn Lanaie echoes this sentiment, refusing to be overlooked or undervalued. With a beat that feels just right and words that speak the truth, they’ve put together a song that doesn’t just sound good—it speaks to anyone who’s ever been through the wringer with someone they cared about.
