The Sante Fe artist balances all of the track’s elements perfectly, ensuring “Want You Back” keeps playing in your ears long after the song is over.
Currently based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Just Dave drew inspiration for “Want You Back” from musical influences he experienced throughout his life. During our interview, the rapper said he aimed to “incorporate a lot of the sounds and rhythms” familiar with New Mexico. In addition to New Mexican influences, Just Dave sprinkled in elements every summertime anthem carries.
My song was inspired by summer love and late-night drives, Just Dave.
That said, “Want You Back” contains a palpable Latin feel. An addicting bass pulses through the speakers, but not so loud that it overtakes the song’s lighter elements. Other pieces in the rhythm lay ethereal vibrations throughout your body as you listen to the song.
The balance between tranquilizing, lowkey elements, and the Latin-inspired bass is intriguing. And the way Just Dave layers his vocals only makes the song that much better.
Just Dave delivers everything the song’s beat, produced by ALEX, demands, and more. The chorus is insanely catchy, hitting every part of your ears just right. Additionally, the rapper’s bars move at a pace that rides the beat’s waves perfectly.
Further, Just Dave’s cadence and overall vibe match the song’s energy and message. The artist displays a lowkey vibe from start to finish, which, according to Just Dave, matches his personality.
I’ve always been a lowkey person and wanted to portray a persona of ‘what you see is what you get’ and that everything I put out is authentic to me, Just Dave, regarding the origin of his stage name.
