Miguel released "Sure Thing" in 2010 but the infectious song is still making waves today. In fact, the modern classic sailed back into the Billboard Hot 100 this year. With more than a billion streams to date on Spotify alone, the heartfelt track's viral success continues to showcase its lasting impact.
"The thing that strikes a chord in your emotion is the thing that will keep you going forever," he tells GENIUS during this episode of VERIFIED. "It's people making memories of the works that makes them timeless. The song without people making it theirs is nothing, like a tree falling in the forest."
During this episode, the "Adorn" hitmaker also talks about how Southern Hip-Hop, poetic juxtapositions, and love inspired these lyrics. Going further, Miguel also reveals one of his favorite lyric and melody combinations of all time and explains how simplicity can always complement layered complexity.

@tinotendasandra8672 Год назад

13 years later it’s still a bop ☺️😌

@empresssk Год назад

Miguel’s music is timeless because he actually believes in and understands love. It’s sad society is allergic to romance and happiness now. Also loved him casually sharing his love for Donny Hathaway and Lauryn Hill… those quick lil’ melodies were champagne to my ears! Miguel is always gon be a sure thang!💕

I'm honestly amazed that this song was only released in 2010 but for some reason, I never heard that song at that time when R&B was peaking and it's only now that that it's becoming popular again. At least it was never too late to hear this masterpiece
