While we can easily imagine a heartbroken young girl wrapped up in bed bawling her eyes out to the tune of this song, one fan in the comment section of the song’s official audio on Youtube said, “Every Gyallis can relate to this song” as well. Though his wholehearted tone on this Short Boss Muzik production is not enough to conclude that he drew from personal experience to create such a magnificent R&B-type song, it is very likely that his words are sincere as most songwriters tend to use their music as an outlet for their genuine feelings. “Yuh guh out a yuh way fi hurt mi / An mi guh out a mi way fi hurt yuh / We keep going roun ina circle / No dis a cya love, dis a surgery,” Kartel sings. Kartel sounds inspired in this song where he talks about the toxic cycle of two people hurting each other in love, and heartbreak. The slow, melancholic instrumental tugs at every heartstring and the heartfelt lyrics are painfully relatable. Vybz Kartel has now released a new track called “Then You and Me,” and its emotional perspective is something we haven’t heard from the deejay in a while.

Who could forget when the “Don’t Come Back” artiste released the breakup track that showcased a resentful Kartel disavowing the love of his life that he had put on a pedestal for so many years? Since Vybz Kartel separated from his decade-long girlfriend and mother of a fraction of his children in 2017, we haven’t heard many emotionally inspired songs from the dancehall deejay. Some people like the story telling side and also the fact that we used an older couple, overall people said it was really good,” he said.Vybz Kartel toned down the vibe in his newest release to produce a memorable track that captures authentic sentiments. Some people said that it hit close to home and they can relate to it. “I’ve been reading the comments online and people really liked it. Jay Will told BUZZ that after all the hard work, and passion that went into creating this film, he’s pleased with the reactions. And when I reached out to her, she was really kool,” he said. “When I saw a picture of Fate Butler, I was like she looks so distinguished, and she has worked Little Theatre, and acted in Pantomime. She had to have the right mix between sultry, and also be older,”

“I didn’t find a female until two days before the shoot. However, finding a female fit for the role was a bit more difficult. Before this video, Haughton had no acting experience When Haughton responded, he had a very distinguished gray beard, I was just like, ‘Yeah, a him this’,” he said. “The male actor actually had the hardest role, he had to learn the lyrics of the song. A lot of people responded, but you know you find older folks not really into doing something like this,” he said. “I put out a casting on my Instagram, it was very hard to get older actors. Jay Will said that the hardest part of creating this film was finding the right people that Vybz Kartel requested. There was a natural chemistry between the two lead actors Hard finding the right actors The actors formed a chemistry on camera that made everything seems so natural. He said the video was shot in just 12 hours, and the impressive acting we saw on screen was actually scriptless. The lyrics of the song is the driving force of me creating the story, and I wanted to tell this story,” he said. He gave me a story and I made a back story with motives and drama around it. “Whenever the camp reaches out to me, it’s always like a song that is very important to him. Jay Will, who has also produced other film-type videos for Vybz Kartel- Fever, Western Union and I’ve Been In Love With You-said he was bent on creating an intriguing story around the instructions he received from Vybz Kartel. The idea he gave me was that he wanted to see an older couple, like his grandparents, aunts or uncles, a mature couple going through hard situations at home,” he told BUZZ. The drama that unfolds in the video hits close to home for the Don’t Lie artiste, and his song is from his To Tanesha album. And according to its producer and director, Jay Will, that’s exactly what Vybz Kartel wanted to achieve with this video.

Since its release fans and even non-fans of the incarcerated artiste have been praising the video for its originality and relatedness. But time passes quickly as you are transfixed with the brilliant acting by Fate Butler who plays the wife in the relationship, and Paul Haughton who plays the husband. The video is actually a film, eight minutes and fifty four seconds long.
