PARTYNEXTDOOR Brings “Her Old Friends” To Our “R&B Season” Update

by

Great news for R&B lovers – we have a selection of new songs for you on our weekly playlist update. Of course, there aren’t as many titles as you’ll find on our hip-hop hits Fire Emoji roundup, but they’re certainly setting the tone for what else is to come from our favourite artists this year.

The first spot on our list goes to PARTYNEXTDOOR, whose “Her Old Friends” single has already become a fan favourite. As you may recall, at the end of 2022 the music catalogues of several OVO artists began vanishing from streaming.

Unsurprisingly, this sent listeners scrambling for answers. Thankfully, the arrival of a great new track from the R&B vocalist seems to have settled their nerves.

Throughout his verses, PND sings, “It’s gon’ be so hard to clean back that body when I gwaan it / Yeah, I wants to take her out the game / Who’s to f*ckin’ blame? What’s my f*ckin’ name? / Yeah, I was playin’ by the rules, only let her do wrongs.”

Our second new single for your streaming pleasure comes from RealestK. He shows out on “Wish You Well” this weekend, which made its official debut on Friday (January 13).

In recent months, the Canadian R&B artist also shared his Dreams 2 Reality project. This helped him make his mark within the industry, holding his own across 14 tracks, including singles like “WFM,” “Love Me,” and “Toxic.”

Finally, we have a reimagined throwback from Jeremih. He sped up his previously released “Changes” song, and you’ll definitely want to have it on your winter playlist.

Further down you’ll find new-ish arrivals from names like Queen Naija, Vedo, Chris Brown, SZA, and more.

PARTYNEXTDOOR Drops New Single, “Her Old Friends”

by

It’s been nearly three years since we last got blessed with a project from PARTYNEXTDOOR.

However, it appears as though the Mississauga native is gearing up for a new full-length release. On Friday (January 13), the “Break from Toronto” singer returned to drop off his brand new single, “Her Old Friends.”

Produced by OG Parker and G Ry, the song finds PND criticizing his girl’s old friends. Specifically, he puts the blame on them for her past behavior. “F*ck all my b*tches’ old friends / Y’all let that girl f*ck anybody / She out here catchin’ every body / Told her not to lean on anybody,” he croons to kick off the song.

“B*tches when they see me, all they greet me, show me love / I’m with b*tches wearin’ VVs, flawless, they don’t f*ck with scrubs / But I just need my shawty back / Richer than I ever was,” he goes on to plead in the first verse.

The Canadian singer’s last album is 2020’s PARTYMOBILE. Backed by singles featuring Rihanna (“BELIEVE IT”) and Drake (“LOYAL”), the project contains the OVO artist’s signature R&B sound with some toxic lyrics. It also contains a remix to “LOYAL” with Bad Bunny.

Later that year, the 29-year-old also dropped PARTYPACK, a seven-song EP comprised of songs that hadn’t priorly been officially released to streaming services. It includes the fan favorite “PERSIAN RUGS,” as well as “BUZZIN” with Lil Yachty and Murda Beatz.

On January 2, OVO Sound took to their Instagram account to tease new music this year. “OVO SOUND ’22 NEW SOUND ALL ’23,” reads the caption.

The label is certainly living up to the hype thus far. Only two weeks into the new year, “Her Old Friends” serves as their second official release. The first of which is Popcaan‘s latest single “We Caa Done,” which features Drake.

Make sure to stream PARTYNEXTDOOR’s “Her Old Friends” on either Spotify or SoundCloud down below. Comment your thoughts on the new track afterwards. Finally, stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest releases.

Quotable Lyrics:

It’s gon’ be so hard to clean back that body when I gwaan it
Yeah, I wants to take her out the game
Who’s to f*ckin’ blame? What’s my f*ckin’ name?
Yeah, I was playin’ by the rules, only let her do wrongs

PartyNextDoor Blames His Ex And ‘Her Old Friends’ For Their Relationship’s Demise On His New Single

by

At long last, PartyNextDoor is back with new music. On his new single, “Her Old Friends,” Party looks back on a past relationship, seeing where things went wrong. He concludes that his ex and her old friends are to blame for his and her downfall.

The song is produced by OG Parker, and opens with a soft, sultry guitar. The percussion then kicks in, giving the song an angsty, bitter feel.

“F*ck all my b*tch’s old friends / Y’all let that girl f*ck anybody / She out here catching everybody ” he sings on the song’s chorus.

Over the past few years, Party has worked on projects for the likes of Drake, Diddy, and more. Though he remains relatively reclusive on social media, he is said to be more open and outward toward people he’s close with.

Last year, Uproxx spoke with OG Parker about how his other PartyNextDoor collaboration “No Fuss” came together.

“He’s literally like my brother so it’s a little different,” Parker said “He’s a very secretive person, he keeps to himself and he only f*cks with people he feels like are family.”

PartyNextDoor is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
