The woozy R&B track is lifted from SiR’s major-label sophomore album Chasing Summer, which was released in 2019.
The LP received critical and commercial acclaim upon its debut, scorching Billboard’s Top Hip-Hop/R&B Albums Chart and landing on Rated R&B’s 30 Best R&B Albums of 2019 list. The album also includes his fan-favorite smash “John Redcorn.”
SiR recently covered The Isley Brothers classic “Footsteps In The Dark” as part of Top Dawg Entertainment’s multimedia Black Sounds Beautiful campaign.
