Full Jorja Smith falling or flying Album Lyrics

falling or flying is Jorja Smith’s second studio album, released through the independent label FAMM and serving as both the direct follow-up to her 2021 EP Be Right Back, and her album follow-up to 2018’s Lost & Found.

After deciding that she was done with living in London where her career first took off, Smith moved back to her hometown of Walsall in early 2023. Upon reaching a “return to self” feeling not long after arriving, she began to work on the project, mainly with P2J and the female production duo DAMEDAME*.

On April 13, 2023, the album’s lead single “Try Me” was released, containing lush orchestral instruments and a moving percussive rhythm presenting a new stylistic sound for the British singer-songwriter. The house-inspired second single “Little Things” would follow on May 11th before Smith’s announcement of the album and its artwork a week later on May 18th.

The album’s third single “GO GO GO” was released on August 3rd, and sees Smith completely deviate from R&B in favor of an indie pop-rock direction, while the title track, an R&B number which encapsulates the overall up/down, good/bad theme of the project, was released as the fourth single on August 30th, the same day that the album’s tracklist was revealed.
