David Archuleta, Love For Free | Song Review

On the vibrant and honest single “Love For Free,” talented pop singer-songwriter David Archuleta won’t settle for less or wait for heartbreak.

Oh, snap! Holy shiitake mushrooms! SPEAK ON IT! Our favorite Latino hottie, David Archuleta, said what he said on his single “Love For Free”.  My boi needs I-N-T-E-N-T-I-O-N-S when it comes to that four-letter word! “Love For Free” was written by Archuleta, Jackson Chant, and Tyler Redman. LEVÉ produced it.

In “Love For Free,” regarding love and relationships, David prioritizes himself – his happiness and well-being. He isn’t being selfish, either.  He ensures that he doesn’t get heartbroken, hurt, or taken advantage of. “I run expensive,” he asserts in the first verse, and continues, “I’ll give it all if I know that you can spend it.” Not money, of course, but true love and investment in him. He’s not willing to settle, per the chorus: “If you can’t keep up, it’s not for me.” Word! In the second verse, he’s sick of mind games and red flags. He even throws an ‘oh, shit!’ into the mix!  If that’s what this boy (or girl) is on, he advises them to “stay in your lane,” and that he’s “Not really tryna wait on a heartbreak / I want space, I can’t lie.” Ooh-wee. Accompanied by modern, sleek, and rhythmic production, David Archuleta sounds sensational on “Love For Free”.  As always, the voice is T-E-A!
