“We Love Each Other” captured the essence of a complicated yet undeniable connection. The lyrics paint a picture of two people who, despite their differences or past mistakes, are drawn together by a powerful love. West’s soulful vocals intertwined perfectly with Rogers’ signature baritone, creating a harmony that resonated with listeners.
