R&B newcomer JayDon has released his new single “Lullaby,” featuring singer Paradise, via Zoo/mega/gamma.
The tender ballad was written by Felisha King (formerly of R&B group Cherish) and produced by HARV (John Legend, Normani).
On “Lullaby,” the 17-year-old sings about a girl who brings him comfort like a cradle song. “And I, I, I / I sleep at night, ’cause you’re by my side / You’re my lullaby,” JayDon sings.
Paradise appears in the third verse, singing, “The way I love you is habitual / Bedroom is a ritual / Straight to sleep, it’s medicinal.”
“Lullaby” is JayDon’s second song released under Zoo/mega/gamma following “Ah! Ah!” with 310babii in November 2024. Both songs will appear on the emerging R&B sensation’s debut EP, which will release later this spring.
JayDon (formerly known as JD McCrary) first made a splash as a hidden feature on Childish Gambino’s Awaken, My Love! on “Terrified.” He performed the song with Gambino at the 60th Grammy Awards in 2018 when he was nine.
In 2019, JayDon became the youngest male solo act to sign a deal with Hollywood Records at age 11. While under Disney/Hollywood Records, released an EP, Shine.
In the same year, he voiced young Simba in the live-action remake of The Lion King.
As for Paradise, the new artist released his debut single “Foggin’ Up The Windows” on Feb. 7 via mega/gamma. Both Paradise and JayDon made a special appearance on The R&B Money Podcast to perform their new songs, respectively.
