Brent Faiyaz – have to. [Official Video]

A track released in October 2025 by Brent Faiyaz—who leads the contemporary R&B scene—via his own label ISO Supremacy.

Following the unusual turn of events in which the album ICON was postponed on the eve of its release, this song was re-presented as the project’s new starting point, candidly depicting the conflicting realities of a hectic career and devotion to a loved one.

The refrain’s vow—“I’ll do it all so you don’t have to”—repeated in the hook, brings to the surface a complex mix of urgency to stay connected despite the distance and a pride in being the one who keeps life afloat.

His languid falsetto, laid over minimal drums and a low, throbbing bass, feels like the very sound of intimacy sent across the miles.

Created together with longtime collaborator Dpat and others, the piece pivots from the heft of Wasteland to a stripped-back sonic palette that foregrounds fragility—an ambitious work that stakes out a new direction.

Co-produced with Anderson .Paak, it achieves a soundscape where the warmth of the drums melds with the luster of the strings.

It sings of an inner journey—from moments of heart-flutter and loss to gradually reclaiming confidence in oneself.

Mariah’s signature delicate melisma and richly resonant lower register lend profound conviction to every word.

It’s a song that gently stays by the side of anyone feeling swept away by their emotions.
