“In The Dark” is the first promotional single from female R&B / Pop singer and songwriter JoJo‘s upcoming mixtape Can’t Take That Away From Me. The song was produced by Jordan Gatsby, and has a very “experimental” sound to it.

The mixtape will be released online only on September 7th via Rap-Up.

Lyrics for JoJo – In The Dark

Verse 1
This ain’t the first or last time
We’ll meet up this late at night
To let our fate intertwine
Casually I’d rather be
Detach from all tragedy
This don’t need to be defined

Pre-Chorus
And I know that it’s wrong
I do I do
Baby keep holding on
I do I do
Yeah, I know that it’s wrong
I do
When the sun comes up, I’ll be gone

Chorus
I only know him in the dark
I only know him in the dark

Verse 2
Try to stay desensitized
Keep my feelings out of mind
My body won’t be denied
Never took this road before
Love was always at the core
Of anyone I’ve been with before

Pre-Chorus
And I know that it’s wrong
I do I do
Baby keep holding on
I do
Yeah, I know that it’s wrong
I do
When the sun comes up, I’ll be gone

Chorus
I only know him in the dark
I only know him in the dark

Bridge
Shadows across your face
Your lips a familiar taste
Stay focused, I tried
Can’t get this out of my mind
I want more than what this is
Whatever we’re calling this
The truth just breaks my heart

Chorus (x2)
I only know him in the dark
I only know him in the dark

I only know him in the dark
I only know him in the dark

Rnbmusicblog notes, She has said that the song is different from anything that she has every made before, and also said that the record is “sensual with a tone of sadness to it.” It is interesting to hear her after her hiatus from the music industry.

Her lyrics have evolved and are much deeper now than they used to be, and her tone on the song is very different from the fun loving teen most of us remember.
