Monica has returned with the first taste of new music from her next album. “Commitment,” penned by Grammy-winning duo NOVA Wav, is a deliberately sung ballad that outlines the qualities of Mo’s ideal soulmate.
“If I’m having a bad day, you know just what to say / I can show you all my thoughts and where my demons play / And you won’t use them against me / You rather use them to lift me,” she sings.
“Commitment” is the first offering from Monica’s long-awaited follow-up to Code Red. She has been seen in the studio working with the likes of PJ Morton, who she recorded five songs in four days with while in New Orleans, last summer.
Along with working on her ninth studio album, Monica launched a nonprofit foundation called BeHuman. She released an emotional score and visual for its rollout in December.
Listen to “Commitment” below.
