About this song
- “Skin” is the fourth song off of "The Divine Feminine". Much like the rest of the album, it revolves around Mac’s sexual and emotional relationships. The song is smooth and sexy, both lyrically and sonically and the jazzy and R&B feel is a departure from Mac’s usual style. Mac tells Complex in an interview: "I was working on “Skin” and it’d been two weeks of writer’s block, which has never happened to me. Out of nowhere, I write a verse and a hook, then I walk out and Prince dies. I cried more than I ever have in my whole life. Prince gave so much to his music and died relatively alone. I’m two weeks into a session with no connection to anyone unless they’re in the room. I’m thinking that could be me. I was like, “Prince is here.” He helped me write that first verse." .
