About this song
- After a series of collaborations since the beginning of 2021, Kehlani returned on September 17, 2021 with “Altar”, the lead single from their third studio album "Blue Water Road". The Oakland native revealed the track in a Twitter post along with a snippet on September 14, a few hours after the album’s announcement. She then expanded in a separate tweet on the single’s meaning, which honors the spirits of their loved ones: "to all those i have lost, all the angels i have gained, all those that walk with me with hands cracking my chest open, this is for you. i love you! 🕯" In a since-deleted tweet posted on September 14, 2021, Kehlani shared: "'ALTAR' is dedicated to all those i’ve lost. 2020-2021 was full of gaining angels. full of understanding death. full of growing through grief. full of elevation and honor." .
