When It’s Real
Monita Nicholson
slow
r&b
Soft
Silky midtempo R&B groove
warm Rhodes and mellow bass under male vocals. Close
intimate verse delivery; chorus opens with airy harmonies and subtle backing ad-libs
light percussion and reverb-laced snaps. Second half lifts with stacked vocals and gentle synth pads
staying lush and romantic
ideal for a smooth late-night performance.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
December breeze
Miami nights
Streetlights glowing soft and white
You looked at me like you already knew
What my heart was about to do
No games
No in-between
No almost
No could’ve been
From the first time you touched my hand
Baby
We both understood the plan
Late night talks ‘til the sun came up
Slow confessions
No rush
Didn’t have to question where this would go
When it’s real…
[Chorus]
When it’s real
It don’t feel like trying
Easy like breathing
No use hiding
Every word you say cuts right through the silence
When it’s real
When it’s real
When it’s real
Every doubt falls quiet
You and me tangled in a soft alliance
Never had a love that felt this honest
When it’s real
Yeah
When it’s real (oh yeah)
December breeze
Miami nights
Streetlights glowing soft and white
You looked at me like you already knew
What my heart was about to do
No games
No in-between
No almost
No could’ve been
From the first time you touched my hand
Baby
We both understood the plan
Late night talks ‘til the sun came up
Slow confessions
No rush
Didn’t have to question where this would go
When it’s real…
[Chorus]
When it’s real
It don’t feel like trying
Easy like breathing
No use hiding
Every word you say cuts right through the silence
When it’s real
When it’s real
When it’s real
Every doubt falls quiet
You and me tangled in a soft alliance
Never had a love that felt this honest
When it’s real
Yeah
When it’s real (oh yeah)
