Is There A Reason is the closing track on Tems' Love Is A Kingdom EP, released November 21, 2025 under Since '93 and RCA Records. It is the quietest, most spiritually charged moment on a project that had already moved through confrontation, celebration and vulnerability. NME described it as a solemn, acoustic piece carried by gentle guitar riffs and Tems' vocals — a track where she steps outside the usual first-person romantic frame to pose questions upward rather than inward.
The lyric "oh-ooh, is there a reason / why did you love me like this" works on two levels simultaneously. In the context of the EP it reads as a question to God about divine love — why me, what did I do to deserve this grace. But it also echoes the romantic confusion running through the earlier tracks, giving the closing song a double meaning that rewards anyone who has listened to the full EP rather than just picking out singles. Sony Music Canada's press notes described the EP as an "exploration of love, power, and spiritual clarity," and Is There A Reason is where the spiritual clarity lands hardest.
