“Waiting on You! Is a song about a crush and the anxiety and excitement that can bring up in you. The stomach butterfly feelings you get when you like someone but aren’t sure how they feel about you, so every interaction has a loaded energy to it. You’re just waiting in anticipation for how situation is going to unfold but too nervous to make the first move.” - Jazzie Young on Waiting On You!
