Banky's calm confidence in "Could've Been (Your Man)" makes the song hit harder than expected. The song is based on modern R&B and sounds like a late-night confession, smooth on the outside but heavy on the inside. It tells a story that is both familiar and deeply human: realizing how important love is only after it has slipped through your fingers.
Banky's delivery sounds real and lived in. He doesn't go too far with his voice; instead, he lets the emotion sit in the pocket, letting listeners feel the regret, the "what ifs," and the pain of missed chances. The production perfectly captures that feeling: it's cool, atmospheric, and patient, giving the song space to breathe while soft melodies come and go like memories.
The most impressive thing about the story is how relatable it is. This is it's heartbreak that was remembered too late. Banky tells the story in a mature way, never blaming anyone, but instead thinking about what could have happened if they hadn't taken love seriously when it was important.
"Could've Been (Your Man)" sounds like a song for late-night drives, quiet rooms, and being honest with yourself. It's a strong statement from an artist who knows that sometimes the softest songs have the biggest effects. This kind of emotional clarity makes Banky someone to keep an eye on.
