Story Behind The Song
The track is not based on a single personal experience, but complex relationships and friendships a couple friends have been through.
Song Description
"Too Late Again" is about people not following through with their previous commitments, being shady and flaky, written from a boy-girl perspective where the girl is wondering what's going through the guy's head and giving him multiple chances even with his ongoing excuses. "Too Late Again" has pointed conversational lyrics everyone, from teenagers to adults who have been through the experience, can relate to. It is a tasty pop/EDM flavored romp that keeps it chill on the verses before exploding with a wild synth hook.

Lyrics
Verse:
Silently leavin'
Always disappearin'
Tryna figure out what's going on in your head
Ah
You can't see the signs
You're filled with just a bunch of lies
Tryna figure out what's going on in your head
Ah ah ah
Pre-Chorus:
When you come back like that
You know I gotta ask
What were you up to?
Why were you late?
You're so defensive
Was I replaced?
Time and time you can go
But you never show
Where is your loyalty?
What have you done to me?
Boy
Chorus:
You're too late again
Too late again
(Mhm)
Too late, too late again
Verse:
You're always forgettin'
And I know you don't regret it
Tryna make sense of what's been in your head
Ah
Selling excuses
But I am not buying it
Tryna make sense of what's been in your head
Ah ah ah
Pre-Chorus:
Yeah you left me on read
But I'm two steps ahead
I know your moves
I got some news for you
Boy
Chorus:
You're too late again
Too late again
(Again and again and again and again)
Too late, too late again
Bridge:
Walking back and forth on this road
Waiting for you just makes me cold
Lights go off and you're still not around
Tryna figure out where you are now
Clock's ticking please give me a sign
Say something and don't decline
Dusk till dawn keeps happenin'
Down Verse:
Silently leavin'
Always disappearin'
Tryna figure out what's going on in your head
Chorus:
You're too late again
(Badap ba ba bada)
(Mhm)
Too late again
(Mhm)
(What's going on in your head)
Too late, too late again
