about
"Messing Around" is a soulful reunion of hearts — a playful, passion-soaked reggae groove that taps into the magic of old flames and timeless connection. With Cas Haley’s signature soul and HIRIE’s sultry vocals, this track blends nostalgia with desire, telling a story of love that lingers, calls you back, and lifts you higher. It’s about the kind of chemistry you never forget… and the freedom in letting it flow all over again.
lyrics
It’s nice to see you again, old friend
I know things haven’t changed for a while now
I heard you calling my name, but isn’t it strange?
‘Cuz i haven’t heard your voice for a while now
Ooo la la, I’ve been burning with thoughts of desire
And my my my, you were better than I could desire
Ooo pa pa pa, your love is worth more than my life’s work
So, come here, boy, lift your heart up and receive my life’s worth
Can we keep messing around - just like old times
Messing around - like you’ve been on my mind
Ooo - come over and set me free
Can we keep messing around - just like old times
Messing around - you’ve been on my mind
Ooo – I love how you set me free
It's been a long, hard road without you
I think about you every day
Your smiling face, the way you taste
And the magic in the moves you make
You're on my mind when I wake up
Still holding strong when I fade
I'm calling out to let you know
We gotta bring back yesterday
Ooo la la, I'm burning with thoughts and desire
Ooo my my my, you were better, you lifted me higher
Ooo pa pa pa, your love is worth more than my life's work
Ooo, my heart's up to receive your fire
Can we keep
Messin' around - just like we used to do
Messin' around - I wanna give to you
Ooo, come over and set me free
Oh, I wanna set you free
Can we keep
Messin' around - just like we used to do
Messin' around - I wanna give to you
Ooo, I love how you set me free
Messing around
Messing around
Can you come over and set me free
I wanna be
Messing Around - just like we used to do
Messing Around - like you’ve been on my mind
Can you come over, come over
Can we keep
Messin' around - just like we used to do
Messin' around - I wanna give to you
Ooo, I love how you set me free

Hirie’s immersion into the reggae lifestyle came at a young age through growing up in Hawaii, after stints living in the
Philippines and Italy. Reggae is the top music in Hawaii, and it was only natural when Hirie emerged a singer-songwriter. At 19, when she moved to San Diego, California she made the leap from open-mic intimacy to craving the power and majesty of a full band....more
