Ty Dolla Sign gifts us with his new single By Yourself featuring Jhené Aiko and production by DJ Mustard. With Ty Dolla Sign’s upcoming album available on the 23rd of October, Ty Dolla Sign expresses “I’ve been blessed with the gift of collaborating. Not every artist can collaborate with another artist and have the final product be something incredible. Many people have said that when you see a song that says, 'featuring Ty Dolla Sign' you know it’s going to be fire”. Be Yourself is another example that shows whatever Ty Dolla Sign touches, it turns to gold! The intro on By Yourself is a timely sample from Changing Faces “G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”. We then hear Ty Dolla Sign on the first verse providing smooth tones and a soulful presence.
The lyrics are centered around women empowerment and appreciating their strength and vulnerability. Ty Dolla Sign mentioned, “The song needed the frequency of a strong woman, so I had to call my sis Jhené who came in and killed it like only she can do”. Jhené delivers effortless vocals, sweet-sounding tones with some bossed-up lyrics on the second verse!
“By Yourself is and ode to all the amazing women, especially all the single women and the single mothers, who do this thing called life on their own. Especially now more than ever”
