“Best Part” is a beautiful song of affection sung by Canadian artist Daniel Caesar and California representative H.E.R. Put succinctly, it’s a love song where the two artists, taking on the roles of lovers, express their appreciation for having each other in their lives.
The term “best part” plays into the song as the artists compare life to a movie. And they are saying that if such were indeed so, their favorite segment are the times spent with their sweetheart.
They also explain how important the other person is to their being. For instance, H.E.R. compares Daniel to coffee in the morning and sunshine on a rainy day. Likewise, Caesar also associates her with sunshine but goes even further by claiming she is like water in a remote desert and paracetamol during a headache, thus expressing her essentiality to his life.
The track concludes with the artists encouraging the other to verbally express their love if they truly feel such a strong sentiment.
