As many courtships often drift into a gray area of frustrating uncertainty, this is the position
Melina Diehl speaks to in her latest single, "Seriously". The song navigates through a captivating progression of passion and bliss, as Diehl sorts through emotional angst of her lovesick yearning. As the chorus echoes the sentiments, "I can't leave my heart with our clothes on the floor" in a playful phrasing of dissatisfaction that is all too familiar in a budding romance. "'Seriously' is a love letter to a man that I loved deeply, not just to confess what I was feeling, but to tell him who I am,"
Melina offered regarding the single. "I performed it in public while he was in the audience, but he didn't know it was about him."
