Song 1: “I Notice You” —

Synopsis:

“I Notice You” introduces the listener to Dontay’s mindset — what first appears to be quiet admiration slowly reveals itself as something deeper and more obsessive. He studies her routine, her habits, her emotions… noticing details no one else would.

At first, it feels intimate and romantic — like someone paying close attention. But as the song progresses, it becomes clear that his awareness goes beyond normal affection. He’s always there… even when she doesn’t see him.

This track sets the tone for the album — blurring the line between love and fixation.

“I Notice You” – Lyrics

Hook
I notice you… even when you don’t see me,
Every little thing you do, it come so easy.
You think nobody pay attention like I do…
But I notice you… yeah… I notice you…

Verse 1
You wake up late on your days off,
Scroll your phone ’til your makeup come off.
Coffee first, then you step outside,
Same lil’ playlist on your ride.

You like that spot on 5th and Main,
Window seat when it start to rain.
You laugh soft when you read your texts,
Tilt your head when you feelin’ stressed…

Hook
I notice you… even when you don’t see me,
Every little thing you do, it come so easy.
You think nobody pay attention like I do…
But I notice you… yeah… I notice you…

Verse 2
You changed your route like a week ago,
Cut your hair but you kept it low.
You don’t wear that ring no more,
Guess he ain’t around like before…

You look behind you sometimes at night,
Like you feel somethin’ ain’t right…
But don’t be scared, I’d never harm you,
I just see you like nobody do…

Bridge
I know your highs… I know your lows…
I know the things you never show…
You say you want someone who understands…
I’m closer than you ever planned…

Final Hook
I notice you… even when you don’t see me…
Every little move, yeah it speaks to me…
You think nobody pay attention like I do…
But I notice you… I always do…

Outro
Yeah…
You ain’t gotta look for me…
I’m already there…

The lyrics really hit home; I felt every word with Dontay’s soulful voice.

Ezric’s production shines; the melody stays with me all day.
