Cordae Captures A Complicated Relationship In His New ‘Make Up Your Mind’ Music Video

by

Last year, Cordae excited fans by sharing his album From A Bird’s Eye View. Since then, he’s unveiled collaborations with Anderson .Paak, Juice WRLD, and more, as well as shared the spicy solo song “Make Up Your Mind,” for which he now has a video.

The track navigates a complicated relationship whose rules are unclear: “I said she love me / She love me not / But she don’t got no damn clue about what she want,” he sings in the chorus. The video captures this confusion, depicting Cordae and a woman going back in forth in arguments, struggling to resolve issues even as they sit at dinner at a restaurant. Despite this, the music is lively, with an infectious bassline.

“I just wanted to make a timeless song that makes people feel good,” Cordae said in a statement.

The video is directed by Loris Russier. “Make Up Your Mind” is produced by Dr. Luke, who fans are pointing out was a poor choice considering the rape allegations from pop star Kesha that ended with a defamation lawsuit that dragged on for years.

Cordae Is Confused On “Make Up Your Mind”

by

Cordae has been on a tear as of late with his recent singles. “Doomsday,” a song to appear on Lyrical Lemonade’s debut album, saw him and the late great, Juice WRLD, trade bars over Eminem’s “Role Model.” He also teamed up with the jack-of-all-trades, Anderson .Paak on “Two Tens.” The J. Cole-produced track contains catchy flows and a smooth and simple head-bobbing-beat. So, it is only right for Cordae to keep up the moment and release more heat for the fans.

However, this new song “Make Up Your Mind,” goes in an unexpected direction. Cordae is known for bodying boom-bap and trap beats, but this groove wants to get you funky on the dance floor. It’s definitely a change of pace for someone who always brings bars and hard-hitting verses. Any time an artist goes 180 degrees with their sound it can leave fans divided, but this song has a undeniable vibe.

’80s Disco Fun

This new cut from Cordae has him making clever comparisons, while simultaneously poking fun at why some girls can never make up their minds. It has an earworm of a pre-chorus: “I said, she love me (Love me) She love me not
But she don’t got not damn clue about what she wants.” The “Love Me” background vocals are shouted out in a way, referencing ’80s disco and it gives tons of personality to the track. In the quotable lyrics, he makes a fun reference to his significant other, Naomi Osaka, who’s parents are Haitian and Japanese, even though the line mentions that her mom is Korean.

It’s a different style for Cordae and his fanbase so we want to know, how are you feeling about this track? Do you want to see him tackle different genres?

Quotable Lyrics:

Daddy full Black but her momma Korean
She know I’m gettin’ money from the cars that I be in
Young rich n**** but the shoes European
Took her to the crib, call that s**t sight seein’
Need one woman but I want like ten

Cordae Tries To Read Mixed Signals On His New Situationship Anthem, ‘Make Up Your Mind’

by

While Cordae and his longtime girlfriend, tennis superstar Naomi Osaka, are still going strong, he has just dropped a situationship anthem for the summer. On the breezy “Make Up Your Mind,” Cordae shows off his lowkey R&B chops, tapping into a more rhythmic sound.

Over a thumping, percussive beat, Cordae tries to read the signals delivered to him by an elusive lady.

“I said she love me / She love me not / But she don’t got no damn clue about what she want,” he rap-sings on the song’s chorus.

While most of us can relate to the song, the groovy beat makes it easy to brush off any nebulous relationships, and just go with the flow.

“I just wanted to make a timeless song that makes people feel good,” said Cordae in a statement.

Outside of this particular song, it’s been a pretty busy summer for Cordae. Back in July, he and Osaka welcomed a baby girl. Beginning today (August 4), Cordae will also be supporting rapper NF on his Hope Tour, which kicks off in Glendale, AZ.
