Tems comes through with a powerful ballad.

Tems has been developing a name for herself. The Nigerian-born multi-talented singer started releasing material to streaming back in 2018. However, things really started to take off for her around 2020 when she released her debut project, For Broken Ears. In terms of ingratiating herself with hip-hop listeners, Tems got a lot of people talking with her feature on Future's 2022 record. That of course, was his album I NEVER LIKED YOU.

She landed on one of the hits from it, "WAIT FOR U," with Drake. Before that, the 28-year-old also appeared on Drizzy's 2021 tape, Certified Lover Boy. She provided her stunning voice on "Fountains." Besides a few high-profile placements, Tems usually is quiet when it comes to new material.

It features production from one of the most well-known Afro-beat producers, Sarz. He also just dropped a new track with Gunna and Asake.

Quotable Lyrics:

’Cause I'm not an angel
I’m just a girl that knows the truth
And I couldn't save you (Nah, nah)
You couldn't see what I've been through
I’ll cut my losses in peace
I don't need nothin' else from you
