New Lianne La Havas Song, “Can’t Fight,” Available Today
La Havas explains of “Can’t Fight,” which was co-written and produced by Mura Masa: “‘Can’t Fight’ is that feeling of, you know it’s not good, but you can’t you can’t not do it.

So you think, ‘Well, let me do a little bit of work and just see if we can get that feeling back—it’s possible because we do really love each other.’ So I guess at the time, I was convinced that yes, it’s hard, but we can get through this.
