The album has quickly and quietly become one of the most anticipated singles in recent memory, with fans wondering how JID will stack up against J Cole’s collaboration with BIA. Reddit’s expectations were ripe, betting that JID would deliver, and he did. He blasted the song “LIGHTS OUT.”

While BIA used big, reverberant vocals to form the song’s hook, JID’s flow delivered the infamous “jitter” that fans sorely miss. BIA also delivers a heartfelt verse, steadying her rhythm with more focus and elegantly defying the flashy aspects of her abilities as a host. This raw feeling is maintained through the flow of JID, permeating themes of perseverance and confidence in oneself during tough times.
The Sonics have all the makings of a pop record and rival the hits from such artists – Rihanna and SIA are definitely some that come to mind. However, the unpredictable verses and predictable pops create a compelling balance for fans of both artists. The song has been released now alongside an official music video – watch it below.
