Released in November 2025 as the finale to the “breakup trilogy” that began with the 2019 debut Over It, the album Finally Over It includes this track, which portrays the dilemma between ideals and reality in love.

The title reflects a throwaway sentiment of “I don’t care about my type anymore,” candidly chronicling the conflict of whether to choose financial stability or true love.

Centered on acoustic guitar, its organic sound steps beyond the trap-leaning R&B Summer Walker excels at, achieving a texture that even evokes country-soul.

It’s a song that resonates deeply with modern listeners tired of relationships built on checklists.

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.

Featured on the album “Here for It All,” released in September 2025, this track is an R&B number that delicately weaves shifting emotions.

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.
