“ I got into a situation where I felt like, I was in super deep and I wasn't sure if the other person felt the same way. “I always used to tell my friends I've never been heartbroken before,” Mai says. If the world first witnessed Mai as giddy in the throes of new love on her debut record, she’s now letting us in on the more complicated details of her heart: the fear, the uncertainty, the pain. Over plushy piano melody and lush harmonies, she pleads the object of her affection, and herself, for clarity: “Gotta learn how to let someone in to hold/ It takes time, gotta trust who I let control.” In the accompanying Loris Russier-directed video, the mood isn’t much sunnier: she and her lover go down together in a car that’s crashed into a lake. “DFMU” - short for “Don’t F*ck Me Up” - is Mai doing what she does best: pairing her warm and commanding vocals with simple but effective lyrics that get to the core of her emotions.
