Miguel unloads new “Number 9” track with Lil Yachty (+Lyrics)

Miguel releases the new Lil Yatchy-featured track, “Number 9” co-produced by Miguel & Brook D’Leau.

A collaboration that maybe most might have not seen coming, Miguel and Lil Yachty. They have just dropped a brand new single called “Number 9.” This is the R&B star’s second single of 2023 and his first collaboration with Lil Boat. With the Georgia native exploring more left-field sounds with his latest release, Let’s Start Here., Yachty has proven to be one of the best artists this year. Now, the colorful rapper teams up with a top-tier singer for an angelic cut, “Number 9.”

The Californian’s last song “Give It To Me” was well-received with tremendous production that includes drums, guitars, and oh, of course, Miguel’s heavenly voice. The vibe on that track is similar to what we are getting here with this latest effort. “Number 9” possesses more of an R&B vibe than “Give It To Me,” but honestly it does not make the track any worse. The beat is more simple, however, still feels like there are layers upon layers to peel back which makes for a terrific listen.

If you want to be transported to another world then we implore you to give the track a spin. Lil Yachty and Miguel work so well together and the sound choice just works here. It runs just over 3 minutes so it does not overstay its welcome. There is an accompanying visualizer and they are just as trippy as the song itself. The catchy hook and euphoric feel are sure to stimulate all the right senses.

Lyrics

[Chorus: Miguel]
Wide awake, keep up
Fallin’ shapes, don’t die
On my tongue, a lap
On my lap, a gun
In the gun, a kiss
Let it blow your mind
‘Til the dust returns
To the number nine

[Verse 1: Miguel]
Break lights off in the distance, don’t follow me
And the sky came crawlin’ out beneath the waves
Crashin’ into the sun, ain’t no stoppin’ me
And when the checkered flags are waved
There’ll be no one else and nothing left of me

[Chorus: Miguel]
Wide awake, keep up
Fallin’ shapes, don’t die
On my tongue, a lap
On my lap, a gun
In the gun, a kiss
Let it blow your mind
‘Til the dust returns
To the number nine

[Verse 2: Miguel]
Break lights off in the distance, don’t follow me
And the sky came crawlin’ out beneath the waves (Huh)
Crashin’ into the sun, ain’t no stoppin’ me
And when the checkered flags are waved
There’ll be no one else and nothing left of me

[Chorus: Miguel]
Wide awake, keep up
Fallin’ shapes, don’t die
On my tongue, a lap
On my lap, a gun
In the gun, a kiss
Let it blow your mind
‘Til the dust returns
To the number nine

[Bridge: Lil Yachty, Miguel]
I am the grim reaper
I’m the streets sweeper
I am the nightmare dream-stalker
There’s not too much that gets past my two eyes
Even at night
Better think twice
Feel your deep-rooted emotions
Fulfill the devotions
Don’t you get away, I’ll be on your skin like lotion
Livin’ inside your brain, I’m the rizz and your mind’s open (There’ll be no one else and nothing left of me)

[Chorus: Miguel]
Wide awake, keep up
Fallin’ shapes, don’t die
On my tongue, a lap
On my lap, a gun
In the gun, a kiss
Let it blow your mind
‘Til the dust returns
To the number nine

[Outro]
(With my eyes wide shut)
Wide awake, keep up
Fallin’ shapes, don’t die
(And my mind goes blank)
On my tongue, a lap
On my lap, a gun
(When I don’t know time)
In the gun, a kiss
Let it blow your mind

‘Til the dust returns
To the number nine
