About "Put Me At Ease"

By Jodie Chan 陳詠恩

Released Dec 11 2022

put me at ease - single cover art

I wrote this song on a 30 minute hike at sunset in Hong Kong, completely in love. 

I wanted both the lyrics & music to paint an open, blissful, danceable soundscape that captured the lightness of being in love with the right person. The song is a slight departure or evolution from my previous releases, but the songwriting style remains story-driven. 

Imagine the kind of feelings you have on a road trip with your favourite person. That’s what I wanted to capture.

 

This single is lifted from my upcoming EP, due fall of 2023. This single also marks her first partnership with producer, Cody Fitzgerald, based in Brooklyn, New York.

---- Lyrics ----

I heard recently, 

that vulnerability is a work in progress 

Well, so am I 


But I couldn’t help but find 

The embers in my mind 

Questioning the irony 

That strength is found in being weak / the strength it takes to make me weak 


You see, falling isn’t like me

But you make, falling for you easy with 


Questions that feel like a gentle squeeze, 

Over my shoulder and 

Waves of calm are washing over me

As my eyes hold ya 

“Our best days are ahead,” you say 

Catch your breath “Let’s take the slow lane”


Oh, you put me at ease 


What a wild thought, 

You’re everything I’m not 

Except for all the ways that count, 

You’re all the traits I want around 


You see, falling isn’t like me 

But who knew how good falling could be 


Questions that feel like a gentle squeeze, 

Over my shoulder and 

Waves of calm are washing over me

As my eyes hold ya 

“Our best days are ahead,” you say 

"Catch your breath. Let’s take the slow lane”


Oh you put me at ease 


You make falling easy

You make falling easy 

You make falling easy


With questions that feel like a gentle squeeze, 

Over my shoulder and 

Waves of calm are washing over me

As my eyes hold ya 

“Our best days are ahead,” you say 

"Catch your breath. Let’s take the slow lane”

Oh you put me at ease
