Tinashe - Bated Breath (lyrics on screen)

Aquarius is the debut studio album by American singer and songwriter Tinashe, released on October 3, 2014 by RCA Records. Following the disbandment of The Stunners in 2011, Tinashe began pursuing a solo career. The following year, Tinashe released her debut mixtape, In Case We Die (2012). After raising her profile with the mixtape, Tinashe met with RCA Records where she subsequently signed a recording contract. Following her record deal, Tinashe immediately began working on the album; during the recording process, she released two other mixtapes, Reverie (2012) and Black Water (2013).

Aquarius was titled after Tinashe's zodiac sign. The album incorporates several genres such as R&B, alternative R&B, and pop. The album's production was characterized as being synthetic, with atmospherics and minimalistic beats and electronics. The album's composition drew comparisons to a variety of artists including The Weeknd and Aaliyah. Most of the songs were written by Tinashe herself who also served as the album's executive producer alongside Tim Blacksmith, Mike Nazzaro and Danny D.

Upon its release, Aquarius received acclaim from music critics, who commended its production, lyrics, and themes, with reviewers comparing it to the work of Janet Jackson. The album debuted at number 17 on the US Billboard 200, selling 18,821 copies in its first week. It also charted in Australia, France and the United Kingdom. The album was promoted with the release of three singles—"2 On", "Pretend", and "All Hands on Deck"—with the former reaching number 24 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Lyrics:

What if I told you that it was all in vain?
Would it still hurt you?
Would you still feel the same?
Said it's impossible-possible
So impossible

[Chorus:]
But you're still waiting on the moment breath is bated
I wish I could hold you, I can't take it
Tell you all my secrets
I'm too faded
Praying that tomorrow I'll be braver
Maybe I can tell you, maybe we can do this
Kisses on my forehead we can fall into it
Love you like the rain, that falls much faster
Living in a piece of ever after
Forever after
Living in the piece of ever after
Ever after, ever after

If you will have me
I'll make you happy
Need someone to whom I can belong
Here's my confession
Saving it special
Hoped it would be you all along
All along
All along
All along

[Chorus]
