Ella Mai How

She said she had poured her heart on her latest album, and Ella Mai wasn’t kidding. Today (May 6), the songbird shared her sophomore album, Heart on My Sleeve, and on the record, Mai collaborated with Latto, Lucky Daye, and Roddy Ricch. The trio are vastly different artists and add their own flavor to the singer’s project.

Ella Mai and Ricch collide on “How,” and ahead of its release, she spoke with Nadeska for R&B Now Radio on Apple Music about uniting with the Los Angeles hitmaker.

“Roddy [is] someone that is always at the same studio as me because of Mustard, but Roddy is also one of my favorite rappers,” said Mai. “So, I said to Mustard, I was like, ‘If there’s one rapper I do want on this album…’ And I think it’s a collab that people have been waiting for because Mustard and I work so closely together and so do Roddy and Mustard. I was like, ‘Yeah, we need to give them a Mustard-produced, Ella Mai and Roddy… song.’ Yeah, it was definitely time.”

Lyrics

[Chorus: Ella Mai]
How, how could you turn?
How could you switch up on me in my darkest hour?

[Post-Chorus: Ella Mai]
What’s the worst can happen rollin’ with myself?
I got too attached, now I’m workin’ on my health
Wanna be a savage, thinkin’ ’bout yourself
I had to attack, had to leave you on the shelf, oh, well

[Verse 1: Ella Mai]
Face facts, for you, I lost my head
Face that, it’s cool, we go again
Can’t let these heartless, broken boys win, no
I’m back, I’m on my shit again
Back to business, caught my fuel again
You out so I can let me back in

[Pre-Chorus: Ella Mai]
Now I’m, I’m in my ride
It’s me, myself, and time
That’s what it takes to break a heartache
I’m, I’m just gon’ drive
Just me, myself, and time
Before I lose my whole mind thinkin’ how

[Chorus: Ella Mai]
How could you turn?
How could you switch it up on me in my darkest hour?
How could you?
How, how could you turn?
How could you switch it up on me? Yeah
Switch it up on me, yeah

[Post-Chorus: Ella Mai]
What’s the worst can happen rollin’ with myself?
I got too attached, now I’m workin’ on my health
Wanna be a savage, thinkin’ ’bout yourself
I had to attack, had to leave you on the shelf, oh, well

[Verse 2: Roddy Ricch]
How you switch up on a nigga? I thought you would never leave
I know you hear my voice everywhere you be
Cold case, I had to give lil’ shawty back to the streets
Had to slide out to Maui, I’ll be back in two weeks
And it ain’t no turnin’ back, had to put her on the shelf
I can’t buy a hunnid bags, gotta be loyal by yourself
And I can’t reward disrespect, you know
Never give up soul ties, I’d rather have a hunnid hoes
I thought that you vowed to be a roller
You had the big champion, now it’s game over
Still outside, still keepin’ my composure
Still gettin’ wired, still killin’ ’til it’s over, ayy

[Pre-Chorus: Ella Mai & Roddy Ricch, Ella Mai, Roddy Ricch]
Now I’m, I’m in my ride
It’s me, myself, and time
That’s what it takes to break a heartache
I’m (Ayy), I’m just gon’ drive
Just me, myself, and time
Before I lose my whole mind thinkin’ how

[Chorus: Ella Mai & Roddy Ricch, Ella Mai]
How could you turn?
How could you switch it up on me in my darkest hour?
(How could you?)
How, how could you turn?
How could you switch it up on me? Yeah
Switch it up on me, yeah

[Post-Chorus: Ella Mai]
What’s the worst can happen rollin’ with myself?
I got too attached, now I’m workin’ on my health
Wanna be a savage, thinkin’ ’bout yourself
I had to attack, had to leave you on the shelf, oh, well

[Bridge: Ella Mai]
My bad for puttin’ my all in
Don’t give me back what you’ve stolen
How you acted then, it’s embarrassing, had to cap it

[Post-Chorus: Ella Mai, Ella Mai & Roddy Ricch]
What’s the worst can happen rollin’ with myself?
I got too attached, now I’m workin’ on my health
Wanna be a savage, thinkin’ ’bout yourself
I had to attack, had to leave you on the shelf, oh, well
