41-year-old Ty Dolla Sign and former Fifth Harmony member Lauren Jauregui may not have been able to make their romance work, but that's not stopping them from collaborating musically. The creative couple spent two years together, but ultimately amicably ended their union in 2019. Now, in 2023, they've reunited for the black-haired beauty's new In Between EP alongside Russ on a track called "Wolves."
"I've been runnin' with the wolves and I made it alright / Searchin' for my purpose and I'm learnin' / That we don't really get a lot of time," the pop star sings on the opening chorus. Afterward, we hear from Ty Dolla, who vents about the undeniably lonely times that come about when you have no one to turn to. "There comes a time in every man's life / When he gotta handle shit up on his own / You can't depend on your friends when you in a tight squeeze / Everybody got problems of they own," the multi-talent croons.
Ty Dolla Sign and Russ are "Wolves" on New Lauren Jauregui Collab
For his part, Russ delivers bars in his signature flow, rhyming about dreaming big and trusting his intuition. "Clock tickin', plot and stop bitchin' / Lot of fake stars, but I ain't 'bout to stop wishin'," the second verse starts. "I'ma just distance me from your existence / Every time my gut talks, I try to just listen." Of the seven titles on Jauregi's new EP, "Wolves" is the only one with guest features. The others – including previously released singles "Always Love" and "Trust Issues" find her operating solo.

Quotable Lyrics:
I've been runnin' with the wolves and I made it alright
Searchin' for my purpose and I'm learnin'
That we don't really get a lot of time
So I've got to go and get mine while I'm alive
