about
‘Haunted’ follows the release of Jafaris’ previous single ‘Glue’, released last month. Making a bold return with single titled, ‘Haunted’, Jafaris joined forces with LA based beat-smith Wynne Bennett, who has been working with acts such as Tayla Parx, Twin Shadow and Janelle Monae. Known for his dynamic wordsmith and punching flows, Jafaris has switched his animated and explosive approach for something a little more blissful - a true testament to his undeniable talent. Harnessed with an up-lifting and cinematic backdrop, courtesy of Wynne, ‘Haunted’ is an awakened vessel of sound that explores Jafaris’s harmonious and infectious vocals, as he weaves in and out of the anthem-esc beat, detailing his frustration surrounding his ex-partner.
lyrics
[Chorus]
I feel haunted, I feel haunted
Like you don't want me to move on, babe
'Cause I keep thinkin' about you too much, it's unbearable
Yeah I feel haunted, I feel haunted
[Verse 1]
Bet you get a kick outta lookin' at me now
Not in the same place you left me
I don't even really think about the sound of your voice when you text me
Feels like we're distant friends now, huh
The new you is not familiar to me
I think I miss the old you and me
[Bridge]
'Cause time don't stop, I know I can't go back
I keep on goin' 'cause I'm not done yet
And it's alright if you don't ever come back
I just keep on goin' 'cause I'm not done yet, done yet
[Chorus]
I feel haunted, I feel haunted
Like you don't want me to move on, babe
'Cause I keep thinkin' about you too much, it's unbearable
Yeah I feel haunted, I feel haunted
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a light, it's a light, it's a light, yeah
'Cause you stay on my mind through the night, yeah
It's a light, it's a light, it's a light, yeah
'Cause you stay on my mind through the night
It's a light, it's a light, it's a light, yeah
'Cause you stay on my mind through the night, yeah
It's a light, it's a light, it's a light, yeah
'Cause you stay on my mind through the night
[Verse 2]
Why am I still lookin' at you now?
You're not the same as I left you
I just keep on thinkin' about the sound of your voice when you text me
I'm so glad that we're still friends even if we're distant
I miss everything about you, so you haunt me (So you)
[Bridge]
'Cause time don't stop, I know I can't go back (go back)
I keep on goin' 'cause I'm not done yet (done yet)
And it's alright if you don't ever come back (come back)
I just keep on goin' 'cause I'm not done yet, done yet
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a light, it's a light, it's a light, yeah
'Cause you stay on my mind through the night, yeah
It's a light, it's a light, it's a light, yeah
'Cause you stay on my mind through the night
It's a light, it's a light, it's a light, yeah
'Cause you stay on my mind through the night, yeah
It's a light, it's a light, it's a light, yeah
'Cause you stay on my mind through the night
[Chorus]
I feel haunted, I feel haunted
Like you don't want me to move on, babe
'Cause I keep thinkin' about you too much, it's unbearable
Yeah I feel haunted, I feel haunted
[Post-Chorus]
It's a light, it's a light, it's a light, yeah
'Cause you stay on my mind through the night, yeah
It's a light, it's a light, it's a light, yeah
'Cause you stay on my mind through the night
It's a light, it's a light, it's a light, yeah
'Cause you stay on my mind through the night, yeah
It's a light, it's a light, it's a light, yeah
'Cause you stay on my mind through the night
[Outro]
I feel haunted by your presence
It's electric, but I resent it
Move more cautious
Call it what you want, but I call it toxic
Or maybe lovesick
But I feel haunted, haunted, haunted, yeah
I feel haunted, haunted, haunted, yeah
