Quality Control’s first and only R&B artist Layton Greene is back with her first single since her debut EP Tell Ya Story was released in 2019. The project earned the 22-year-old Illinois-native a spot on VEVO and Billboard’s Artists to Watch lists for 2020, as well as receiving a Soul Train Award nomination. Off the tail-end of an obviously amazing year, the young artist has been working on some new music behind the scenes.
“Chosen One” arrives as the karmic lead single from Greene’s upcoming debut studio album. Produced by the female-production pair NOVA WAV, the track samples the wildly popular 80s hit “Juicy Fruit” by New York funk band Mtume and fuses it with more classic-sounding R&B production. The production duo is responsible for producing tracks like “CRZY” by Kehlani and “LOVEHAPPY” for Beyonce and Jay-Z’s 2018 joint effort EVERYTHING IS LOVE.

[Nova gon’ make that shit bang]
[Verse]
Something ain’t right
Baby I see the hesi every time I look in your eyes
So don’t be surprised
If I get intrusive
And ask you all the questions I know usually gone make you lose it
I know what you do when you push me away
Cause it’s scary, it’s gotta be scary
When you don’t know if I’m gonna fuck you over
Or buzz you over on the late night tip I’m not sober
It’s Scary, it’s gotta be scary
When you don’t know if I’m gon’ do you dirty
Or keep it sturdy
If I choose to bring you this far
[Chorus]
All of the hearts you done broke and
All of the lies you done told
My nigga I owe you one
Baby I’m the chosen one
For all of the damage you did
Karma’s a ruthless bitch
My nigga I owe you one
Baby I’m the chosen one
[Verse]
Let me put some drama in your life
I’m just fuckin around I wanna love you right
Sometimes
And others I feel like a vigilante
Drop them pannies and put it on you
Leave a note girl you back for a couple of days
I know a couple of ways
To break you down
Stop at you when I put my hands up
I just wanna reach out and grab ya
To give you everything that you ask and didn’t ask for
Something ain’t right
Baby I see the hesi every time I look in your eyes
Tell me what’s on your mind
Other than your conscience
Does the thought that you know I’m a problem
Make you cautious
A nigga on some petty shit
You hate to see the day
Well it’s scary, it’s gotta be scary
Cause you don’t know
If I’m gon’ bring you danger
Or keep you safe, yeah
I’m no demon, but I’m no angel
And it’s scary, it’s gotta be scary
Cause you don’t know
If I’m just out for blood
Or out for love
If I do you dirty, it’s for
[Chorus]
All of the hearts you done broke and
All of the lies you done told
My nigga I owe you one
Baby I’m the chosen one
For all of the damage you did
Karma’s a ruthless bitch
My nigga I owe you one
Baby I’m the chosen one
