Lateeya's song Lullaby is a melodic and emotional portrayal of the feelings of separation in a long distance relationship. The lyrics express the deep yearning to be with someone and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with being apart from them. The artist begins the song describing the longing she feels for "every little bit a piece of you," conveying the sentiment that she misses even the smallest aspects of her partner. She then expresses her willingness to compromise for the sake of their relationship, asking if her partner would "meet me half way" to alleviate some of the anguish. Lateeya then goes on to describe the pain of not being able to hold and feel close to her partner, stating that it's "hard not to have you here."
The chorus of the song is punctuated with the words "good night, sleep tight, dream away with me tonight." These comforting words serve as a reminder of the love the artist has for her partner and are intended to help soothe the pain of absence. Lateeya also acknowledges another tough aspect of being in a long distance relationship, the inability to have physical intimacy, but states that they can "sit on the phone, bust an all nighter" to compensate for it. She then goes on to say how hearing her partner's voice is the only way she can feel closer to them, and shares that she wishes she could be with them.
