Recorded between Paris and the United States, “Give It Time” is a poignant, transatlantic collaboration that delves into the slow unraveling of a long-term relationship. The song weaves together two perspectives with striking intimacy. In the opening verse, the story is sung as if from her point of view, yet every line mirrors the same emotions, memories, and turning points her partner experiences. This dual narrative gives the track a sense of shared heartbreak, as if both voices are echoing the same pain from opposite sides of the room.
The chorus shifts into his perspective, clinging to the hope that their impasse is temporary — that time can mend what’s broken. By the second verse, the pair are struggling to free themselves from their “trauma tourniquet,” acknowledging that the past can’t be reconciled but daring to imagine a new page together.
Closing with the refrain “on and on we go,” “Give It Time” captures the cyclical nature of relationships and the quiet resilience of hope. It’s a beautifully crafted meditation on how love bends, breaks, and sometimes finds a way back with the passing of time.
