Lizzy’s A Fair Exchange Is the Late-Night R&B Groove You Didn’t Know You Needed

Lizzy’s A Fair Exchange unfolds like a late-night conversation with yourself—the kind where uncertainty lingers in the air, and every thought loops back to the same question: is this love balanced, or am I giving more than I’m getting?

Gliding over a warm, jazz-infused R&B groove, Lizzy’s vocals are both sultry and introspective, weaving through the track with an effortless cool.

The instrumental backdrop—crafted by award-winning producer Mitchell Yard—blends neo-soul’s smooth textures with subtle Afrobeat influences, never fully leaning into one genre but pulling from both to create something rich and immersive.

The bass hums low and steady, while delicate keys and airy percussion add movement without rushing the tempo.

We can’t forget the saxophone that adds a retro charm.

“Wanna be living this life / I’d rather live it with you / But is a glimpse of your eye / A fair exchange for my love?” 

The lyrics sit at the core of the song’s weight, floating between self-doubt and quiet resolve.

It’s the kind of track that begs to be felt rather than dissected—best enjoyed with a glass of red wine or the quiet hum of the city at night.

A Fair Exchange feels like a moment of stillness, letting reflection and groove exist in the same breath.

Lizzy’s A Fair Exchange Lyrics

(Where, Do, I, Go?)

When does the loving of self
Turn into moments of gloat?
Will it be bad that I’ll know the
Value I hold on my side?

Wanna be living this life
I’d rather live it with you
But is a glimpse of your eye
A fair exchange for my love?
For my love

At times a sigh is a breath
And a breath is a sigh

Got my body upset
Not that upset that I cry (overheated)

I got so many thoughts
Running ’round in my mind

Wish I could just pull the lever to see which weigh heavy
And which ones fly

When does the loving of self
Turn into moments of gloat?
Will it be bad that I’ll know the
Value I hold on my side?

Wanna be living this life
I’d rather live it with you
But is a glimpse of your eye
A fair exchange for my love?

For my love, love

So I
I put a wish in a well
Hoping you’d be on my side

But are you wishing me well?
How will I know left from right?

I wanna be living this life
And I’d rather live it with you
But is a glimpse of your eye
A fair exchange for,
(my love)

Something as real as.. (oh, my love)
I mean, can’t you just let it go? (don’t look)
Don’t want to hate no woman (no soul)
Dont wanna hate my growth
Make it fair, yeah
