Mine Lyrics – Tems | from “Love Is A Kingdom”

Tems has this gift for making vulnerability feel like power, and Mine captures it in spades. She wrote and produced most of the EP herself, pulling from those raw moments of wanting to claim someone fully while questioning the back-and-forth. The track’s got her signature alté R&B flow—smooth, breathy layers over a gentle beat that builds just enough to let her voice soar, blending Nigerian soul with a touch of gospel in the chorus. It’s all about that all-in devotion, the frustration of someone who dips in and out, and the simple truth that real love means you’re mine till the end. She shared a quick studio clip on her stories last night, and you could hear the smile in her delivery, like she was singing straight to the heart of it.

Love Is A Kingdom is a tight seven-track exhale, clocking in around 20 minutes of introspection on self-worth and what love really demands. It kicks off with First, rolls through bold ones like Big Daddy and Lagos Love, hits emotional peaks with Mine and What You Need, and closes on the stripped-back Is There A Reason. The whole thing feels like a spiritual reset after her debut Born In The Wild earlier this year, less about the spotlight and more about healing in the quiet. Fans can stream it everywhere now—no pre-save needed anymore, but if you’re jumping in, it’s the kind of listen that rewards a second pass.

Tems is in a league of her own right now, fresh off Grammy nods and those sold-out shows where her voice fills rooms like it’s personal. At 30, she’s turned global hits into something deeper, owning her lane without chasing trends. This EP shows her settling into that space, turning personal claims into universal truths.

X lit up the second it dropped, folks sharing the chorus over sunset clips and calling it the devotion anthem they didn’t know they craved. If Born In The Wild was the arrival, this feels like the deeper breath.
