Lil Peep & iLoveMakonnen – November Lyrics

“November” stand as a collaboration between artists Lil Peep and ILoveMakonnen, set to feature on their much-anticipated joint album, Diamonds.

Originally teased by Peep himself in an Instagram post on August 31, 2017, with the caption “@ilovemakonnen @smokeasac album of the century”, the track emerged in full-length, studio quality on April 22, 2020, following a leak.

Sonically, the track is one of the more upbeat picks from Peep’s catalogue. For the most part, a drum-heavy rhythm punctuated with ample bass guitar sets the stage for both artist’s vocals which are surprisingly cheerful considering the melancholy lyrics that reference isolation and “bleeding out”.

Towards the end, a shift from emo rap to cloud rap kicks in, with light-sounding keyboards bringing the song to a beautiful finish. Makonnen takes the verses which show him feeling sorrowful, alone and reflecting on a failed relationship, while Peep completes the addictively catchy but downcast and reminiscent chorus sections.

Following years of anticipation, the track finally saw the light of day as the album’s lead single, offering a glimpse into the forthcoming musical collaboration.

November Lyrics by Lil Peep & iLoveMakonnen

[Verse 1: iLoveMakonnen & Lil Peep]
Now that months have passed, I don’t think about our past
I know it wouldn’t last, so I’m not mad about what we had
I know you’re feelin’ sad, still cryin’ every night
I know seasons change, and you’re not feelin’ right (Yeah)

[Chorus: Lil Peep]
You held me close, I remember (Yeah)
I left you cold in December (Yeah)
You watched me break and don’t say a thing
You can’t hear a thing, so I’ll scream now
I’m all alone in November
She’s never here when I need her
I try a lot, and I cry a lot
And I’m tryin’ hard not to bleed out

[Verse 2: iLoveMakonnen]
You don’t wanna share your love, but I keep makin’ moves for us
And you don’t wanna gain my trust so you could get it lost in lust
And I just wanna fall in love, but I don’t wanna fall with some
‘Cause they be down in the dumps and I ain’t got time for jokes, yeah

[Chorus: Lil Peep & iLoveMakonnen]
You held me close, I remember (You held me close)
I left you cold in December (Cold in December)
You watched me break and don’t say a thing
You can’t hear a thing so I’ll scream now (Now)
I’m all alone in November (All alone)
She’s never here when I need her (Never here when)
I try a lot, and I cry a lot
And I’m tryin’ hard not to bleed out

[Outro: iLoveMakonnen]
I’m tryin’ hard not to bleed out
You’re never close when I need ya
When I need ya
When I need ya
