Description
“WAY DOWN” was written, arranged and produced by annonXL. This song is the honeyed-vocaled R&B singers joyous ode to discovering love in someone elses relationship, and an exploration of sex and their gender identity. It also introduces us to SILAH, annons feminine alter ego.
annon, who identifies as nonbinary, and uses they/them/she/her pronouns, says SILAH (pron. si-LAH) was born out of the lowest vibrations of myself. The name has an Arabic/Muslim definition of The Divine Armor. Unbeknownst to many in my life, Id struggled with my identity behind closed doors, going years without sex and affection. Ive finally had the time, space, and the freedom to express and be myself. In short, I honestly dont give a f*** anymore.
They continue,I wrote WAY DOWN’ after taking my first trip to Los Angeles. After all those years of repression, the horniness had finally awoken in me. When I returned to LA, I was also hornier than ever. It was terrifying (*laughs*). As horny as this song is, Im not outwardly sexual. Like, when guys I talk to start spewing sexual innuedos too soon, they get blockedlike immediately (*laughs*)! I am a woman of God, n****, what dont you get! Still, I needed a song that would encourage me to ride d*ck, but likeromantically.
