Although they reportedly split earlier this year, Jhené Aiko and Big Sean are on surprisingly good terms. Following Big Sean’s July track, “Single Again,” which featured background vocals from Aiko, the Detroit rapper contributes a full verse to the singer’s new single, “None of Your Concern.” On the track, the two former lovers seem to address the end of their relationship.
Aiko sings about feeling love slip away:
I’ve been contemplatin', meditatin'
Should’ve waited, should’ve never dated
You seem irritated, baby, why you never say it?
Isn’t this worth saving?
I can feel you fading, love
We’re not gonna make it, oh
Later on, she reveals the hurt she’s been through and explains how she finally decided to move on:
I was traumatized and suicidal, I’m sick and tired, I am not to blame
Once I felt the wave and not today, I’m not afraid, now I can say
Get your bitch ass off of my phone, please leave me alone
I am not your girl anymore, you need to watch your tone
Don’t worry about who it is I’m fuckin' or who I am lovin', just know that it is not you
This isn’t up for discussion, I wish you good luck man
Some of these lyrics seem to reflect her May 2019 release, “Triggered (Freestyle),” where she sang about feeling disrespected in a relationship and trying to move on without exacting fantasies of revenge. The song was widely believed to be about Big Sean.
The Detroit rapper comes in at the end of the song to deliver his side of the story, but his most eye-catching lyrics come at the end, when he recalls exactly what made them so good together in the first place:
But every time I lay down I think about you naked
And if you find my replacement, how could you?
I made you cum nine times in one day
Your two lips should come in a vase, you rode my face
I realize you look as good as you taste, hmm (Yeah)
Big Sean and Jhené Aiko have a long history of collaboration, going back to songs like 2012’s “I’m Gonna Be” and 2013’s “Beware.” They linked up for the collaborative EP Twenty88 in 2016, too.
