“Ex In My Bed” is the second single from Puerto-Rican American singer song-writer Malik Jarvez. The song is the follow up to his hugely successful debut single “I Got It Now” which peaked at number #2 in the charts late last year and is still within the current top 10 of the charts. Malik first teased “Ex In My Bed” at the beginning of the year, the single marks his first official single with Ruff Round Records signing with them following the release of “I Got It Now”. Musically “Ex In My Bed” follows a similar sound to his debut however it has a little bit of a more pop vibe overall. The track is the second to be taken from his debut album “Falling Into Place” which is set for release later this year. “Ex In My Bed” was written by Malik Jarvez and was written about a past relationship and how he just couldn’t help himself hoping back into bed with her, the track has a run time of three minutes and thirty-four seconds. From a production standpoint Malik once again called in the swedes as once again two Swedish producers worked there magic on the track, in the form of Fredrick Sonefors and Martin Bjelke.
Unlike his debut “Ex In My Bed” has received mostly positive reviews from critics. James DeLuca from DigitalSpy wrote in his review. “Must admit I feel like this should of been his big debut hit, not that his debut was bad, but this track is a bop and then some.” Julia Mattews wrote in her review. “Okay okay hold up where did this guy spring from both singles he has dropped so far have been masterpieces, not only is he nice to look at but the boy has pipes for days apparently, another absolutel tune”. Katie Maxwell wrote a less favourable view on the 4Music website. “I just don’t understand the hype this guy seems to be getting like sure the song is okay but is it that groundbreaking it sounds like a throwaway hit that could of been made by literally any one else, his not that creative in my opinion”. Oscar Clarke wrote. “Dang this guy is gonna be huge if his entire album is full of little bops like this one, plus as a guy this song is so relatable from a lyrical standpoint so that’s just another postive in my eyes”. Neil Patrick for NME wrote. “Lyrically this song is not a creative or as strong as his debut but the production value is second to none once again, I could even go as far as saying that this song could be stronger in that sense than his debut offering.” Jasmine Cahill wrote. “Okay come through with another bop, plus isn’t he just a cutie pie…plus so humble but as for the track yet again can’t fault this out of ten I’d give this a solid 8 out of 10.” Harvey Jackson gave a less favourable rating of 2 out 10 on the NME website. “Bland, boring, predictable, recyclable track plain and simple”
MALIK’S TAKE ON “EX IN MY BED”Quote: Hey guys it's me Malik here, I honestly can't thank you enough for the support you guys have given me so far with my first single...honestly it has blown my mind that the single has done so well so far, I have so much more coming in 2022 speaking of...I can now reveal that my next single is called "Ex In My Bed", now I know what you guys are thinking this song was written before I fell in love with Rose, it is about my ex and how even after we divorced there where times well...the title of the song kinda says it all but of course now this would never happen because I am a loyal man and loyal boyfriend, but I feel like guys will be able to relate to this song because let's be honest who hasn't got back in bed with there ex even if it was a drunken mistake or not a drunken mistake either way I feel like the song is relatable even too women I'd imagine it's relatable too, I also have another little surprise for you guys I can give you a little sneak peak at the track with a cheeky little preview so I hope you guys like and let me know on twitter @Malik_Jarvez what you think positive or negative I will take it all on board.
EX IN MY BEDDon’t know why I can’t fight the temptation
My head says no, my body always says yes
Falling into old habits, going at it like rabbits
Why am I such a fool for you affection
We are over but I can’t help the flirtation
What is wrong with me
someone please tell me
Why oh why do I keep jumping into bed with my ex
My body keeps ruling over my heart and head
I know this is wrong but I can’t help myself
I can’t fight her wicked eyes
Can’t fight her wicked lies
Ex in my bed, she has that power over me
Ex in my bed, oh yeah we throwing shapes again
Here we go again hating on each other by day
Making love under the moonlight by night
We both know this is wrong, we can’t help ourselves
Why do I fall for your advances, like a fool
You just want me for one thing
No other man can give it to you better
My head and heart must stop letting this happen
But I can’t help the temptation
What is wrong with me
someone please tell me
Why oh why do I keep jumping into bed with my ex
My body keeps ruling over my heart and head
I know this is wrong but I can’t help myself
I can’t fight her wicked eyes
Can’t fight her wicked lies
Ex in my bed, she has that power over me
Ex in my bed, oh yeah we throwing shapes again
Ex in my bed, she has that power over me
Ex in my bed, oh yeah we throwing shapes again
Ex in my bed, she has that power over me
Ex in my bed, oh yeah we throwing shapes again
Need to learn to fight the advances
Stop making me look foolish
Can’t seem to help myself but to play your game
It’s like cat and mouse we go around and round
We both need to move on, what we are doing is wrong
But I can’t fight the feeling of us
What is wrong with me
someone please tell me
Why oh why do I keep jumping into bed with my ex
My body keeps ruling over my heart and head
I know this is wrong but I can’t help myself
I can’t fight her wicked eyes
Can’t fight her wicked lies
Ex in my bed, she has that power over me
Ex in my bed, oh yeah we throwing shapes again
Ex in my bed, she has that power over me
Ex in my bed, oh yeah we throwing shapes again
Ex in my bed, she has that power over me
Ex in my bed, oh yeah we throwing shapes again
Ex in my bed, she has that power over me
Ex in my bed, oh yeah we throwing shapes again
Ex in my bed, she has that power over me
Ex in my bed, oh yeah we throwing shapes again
