"Lovesick" started life as an instrumental on Someday Somewhere, the 2015 debut EP from the Guernsey-born producer Mura Masa: jazzy and tropical to the ear of The Guardian's Rachel Aroesti, though he later said it was really about sex and the hollow feeling after one particularly empty encounter, poured into a warped blend of pop, calypso and hip-hop dance.
In 2016 it came back as "Love$ick", with ASAP Rocky on the mic, as the second single from Mura Masa's self-titled debut album. Rocky's first reaction was that the beat felt like Ibiza; Mura Masa steered him toward the real subject, being foolishly lovesick and hung up on a girl, and Rocky ran with both. By the producer's account the session was a loose hang of cigarettes and talk about fashion and Tame Impala.
