Several elements of the song sound like a de- and reconstruction of the Doobie Brothers' version of 'You Belong to Me':

If that's not quite it, it feels like the Doobies/Michael McDonald are a good first route of inquiry. That opening synth line is all them.

The chorus backing track sounds a bit like Wham "Everything She Wants" tbh.

I was going to say the backing track sounds like “yah mo be there”
One of his recent hits interpolated Eugene Wild

I'm a little late to the Alexander O'Neal party, because I only just discovered that 'Criticize' is the best song ever written.
