I’m Not Sure Lyrics – Tems | from “Love Is A Kingdom”

Tems has this gift for making vulnerability feel like power, and this song catches her right in that sweet spot. She wrote it during a stretch of solo travels last spring, piecing together thoughts on love’s tricky edges—those moments where you’re not quite ready to hand over the keys, but you’re open if they step up. The sound is pure Tems: warm, atmospheric layers with subtle afrobeats undercurrents, her falsetto dipping into Spanish whispers on “mi amor” that add this intimate pull.

It’s not about chasing highs; it’s the real talk of wanting honesty without the games, holding someone to their word while figuring if they’re worth the wait. She shared a quick voice note of the chorus on her stories a couple weeks back, and it already had folks nodding along to that “be on time” hook like it was their own unanswered text.

Love Is A Kingdom isn’t a full album dive, more like a four-track map of her heart’s quiet rebellions, clocking in at just over 20 minutes but hitting like a full conversation. It starts with First setting that grounded tone, rolls into emotional clarity on the second cut, then this one unpacks the questions before the closer ties it with a hopeful exhale. The EP’s all about claiming your space in love’s mess—self-discovery wrapped in growth, no big collabs, just Tems owning every layer. You can stream it everywhere now, or pre-save if you’re easing in slow.

She’s in a real stride these days, fresh off that Essence Festival set where she owned the stage solo and those quiet collabs that keep proving her pen’s sharper than ever. At 30, Tems is less about the spotlight rush and more about songs that sit with you, turning personal haze into something we all lean on when love feels like a question mark.
