Tems Mixes ‘Born in the Wild’ and ‘Love Me JeJe’ Into Tender Medley on ‘The Tonight Show’

Tems performs 'Love Me JeJe' and 'Born in the Wild' from upcoming album during appearance on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.'

Performing against the backdrop of a sunset with tall, sprawling blades of grass surrounding the raised platform she was centered on, Tems opened the set with “Born in the Wild.” A seven-piece band and two vocalists backed the singer as she settled into a reflective state, singing: “It’s all over the news, all over the news, I notice/Under the sun, strugglin’ to find my focus/When I was young, younger than my mind, I was always/Runnin’ away/Up in the night, wishin’ somebody knew me/Something inside, pain in my mind, confused/I didn’t know why, didn’t know I could choose.” Ahead of its arrival in late April, Tems announced the record with a short trailer, which featured a snippet of the album’s title track. Everything I have I put into this,” Tems shared on social media earlier this month as she unveiled the official title, release date, and artwork for Born in the Wild.
