Built around A love that doesn't rush but builds slowly and intensely over time like a flame that takes its time. Silk Edition's velvet-smooth production carries the concept through r&b that rewards repeat listens. "Than glances from the people I'd seen before" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs smoldering, patient, building. Genre showcases on Majik's aren't filler — they're proof that independent music can carry real emotional weight when the lyrics and production align.
[verse 1]
We didn't start with fireworks or a spark
We started with a whisper in the dark
A glance that lasted half a second more
Than glances from the people I'd seen before
No rush no hurry no immediate fire
Just a quiet undeniable desire
Building one degree at a time
[chorus]
This is a slow burn baby
We don't need to rush the flame
Slow burn baby
Patience is our middle name
Let it build let it rise
Feel the heat behind our eyes
Slow burn and when it finally catches
Nothing on this earth could match this
[verse 2]
First date was coffee not a candlelit affair
But something in the silence told me you'd still be there
Weeks turned to months of almost touching hands
Of standing close but sticking to the plan
The tension was a melody we played so well
A secret only we could feel but never tell
[chorus]
This is a slow burn baby
We don't need to rush the flame
Slow burn baby
Patience is our middle name
Let it build let it rise
Feel the heat behind our eyes
Slow burn and when it finally catches
Nothing on this earth could match this
[bridge]
Some fires start fast and die out quick
But ours is made of ancient brick
Layered careful stacked with care
A furnace built beyond compare
When it ignites
It'll light up everything
[chorus]
This is a slow burn baby
We don't need to rush the flame
Slow burn baby
Patience is our middle name
Let it build let it rise
Feel the heat behind our eyes
Slow burn and when it finally catches
Nothing on this earth could match this
[outro]
Slow burn
I feel the temperature rising
Slow burn
The best things take their time
