Life’s short, and if you clearly have something for someone, it’s only a disservice to not give things a try. This is the ethos that inspired Alexander Wesley to write “FIVE/SEVEN,” his new laidback pop and r&b infused single. 

It’s a song that stems from those moments before a relationship begins, where you’re everything to that person other than having the title of ‘boyfriend’ or ‘girlfriend.’ 

Wesley evokes the feelings of that in-between period, a tough area where one party usually isn’t ready to, or doesn’t want to commit fully yet, leaving the other hanging on.
