Tyla premieres “IS IT,” her second solo single of the year, released through FAX Records under exclusive license to Epic Records.
Produced by Mocha Bands, Sammy Soso, Ari PenSmith and Believve, the two‑minute track layers punchy percussion and atmospheric synths beneath Tyla’s confident vocals as she poses direct questions about independence and connection: “Is it the f‑cks that I don’t give? / Is it the men that I don’t miss?” The official video, directed by Aerin Moreno, captures her playful energy and bold style in a series of striking visual tableaux that emphasize movement and mood.
Since her breakout hit “Water” introduced her blend of Afropop and R&B, Tyla has built a reputation for charismatic performances and crossover appeal. Her previous single, “Bliss,” climbed to the top fifteen on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart and reached No. 11 on the Hot R&B Songs chart, demonstrating her growing influence in global R&B circles. In a recent interview with Nylon, she described “IS IT” as a return to fun in music—an invitation to listeners to embrace a new side of her artistry while maintaining the candid lyricism that defines her work.
Available now on all major streaming platforms and video channels, “IS IT” reinforces Tyla’s trajectory as a leading voice in contemporary R&B and Afropop. She continues to expand her creative range, balancing chart success with a commitment to authenticity and fearless self‑expression.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Is it the fucks that I don’t give?
Is it the men that I don’t miss?
Is this song why we get along?
Or am I coming on a little strong?
Is it the way this dress unzips?
Is it the girls that I came with?
‘Cause the more that you tell me “Don’t”
It’s the more that you turn me on
[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t leave, I can’t leave
Leave you alone with your eyes on me, no
I can’t leave, I can’t leave
Dancing alone don’t look right on me, yeah
I can’t leave, I can’t leave
Leave you alone with your eyes on me, no
I can’t leave, I can’t leave
Dancing alone don’t look right on me, yeah
[Chorus]
Is it wrong that I wanna get right
Wanna get right with you?
Is it wrong that I wanna get right
Wanna get right?
[Verse 2]
Is it the cup when it leaves my lips?
That got me thinking things like this (Like)
Like what it’s like when you take me home
And what it’s like when you take it off
Is it the idea that I like?
Or do I really wanna make you mine?
Or do we leave it all on the floor?
Either way I need a little more
[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t leave, I can’t leave
Leave you alone with your eyes on me, no
I can’t leave, I can’t leave
Dancing alone don’t look right on me, yeah (On me)
I can’t leave, I can’t leave
Leave you alone with your eyes on me, no (Yeah)
I can’t leave, I can’t leave
Dancing alone don’t look right on me, yeah
[Chorus]
Is it wrong that I wanna get right
Wanna get right with you?
Is it wrong that I wanna get right
Wanna get right with you?
[Bridge]
Leave, I, I can’t leave, no
Leave, I, I, leave, no
[Chorus]
Is it wrong that I wanna get right
Wanna get right with you?
Is it wrong that I wanna get right
Wanna get right with you?
