What it is
"Can We Talk" is the lead single from Tevin Campbell's 1993 second album, I'm Ready, written and produced by Babyface and Daryl Simmons. It is about a teenage crush: the narrator and a girl are both too shy to speak, they go their separate ways, and he keeps thinking about her and plans to start a conversation next time. Babyface aimed for genuine emotion suited to the 16-year-old singer.
