Saweetie and H.E.R. are bringing that breezy summer feeling to the pair’s new song “Closer.” The Cali rapper’s latest single, which dropped on Friday (February 11), is a pop-infused track that focuses on having fun and letting loose.
“I wanna fall in love for the weekend,” Saweetie raps. “Three boyfriends I don’t know where I’m sleeping/We be thuggin’, clubbin’, fuckin’/Order room service when we done, that’s the sequence.”
The latest single to emerge from Saweetie’s forthcoming album Pretty Bitch Music comes after the project’s first single “Icy Chain” dropped on November 19, 2021, right before Saweetie performed the track for the first time on Saturday Night Live.
“Closer” comes after Saweetie closed out 2021 with two Grammy Award nominations, capping off a stellar year that saw her cover magazines, snag a lucrative McDonald’s deal, and expand into multiple business ventures outside of music including her Icy University educational program.
Last December, she opened up with People magazine about the mental health struggles that came from working so hard and often.
“It’s like I live, sleep, eat and breathe music and business,” Saweetie said. “My team is really small, so I have to take on responsibilities that eventually somebody else will, but because my team is small, I have to help them out.
“It’s just trying to find balance right now. I have no balance. Everything is just work, work, work and I don’t have an outlet. I don’t have a therapist. I don’t hang out with any of my friends because I work so much, so it’s just trying to thug it out into until the New Year.”
