PARTYNEXTDOOR entered the world of animation in order to concoct the visuals for his song, “Savage Anthem,” off his latest album, PARTYMOBILE that dropped earlier this year. If it feels like a lifetime ago that PND came through with his first album in three years back in March, don’t worry—you’re not alone. Tons of pre-April releases have flown completely off the radar for many people as a result of the pandemic, but PND is not going to let PARTYMOBILE disappear from the public consciousness just yet. The R&B artist decided to turn his woes on one of the tracks, “Savage Anthem,” into a comic-book-style animated story.
In the “Savage Anthem” visuals, a cartoonified PND is shown grappling with love and all the problems that come with it. The purple-tinted video moves through scenes of text exchanges, strip clubs and late-night rendezvous as PND tries to come to terms with his feelings.

[Intro]
Don’t hold your breath
Don’t wait on my love
Don’t hold your breath
Don’t wait on my love
[Verse 1]
Don’t wait on my reply to your text
Don’t wait on my nut from your sex
Don’t trust me to capture the moment
Forgive me, it just was a moment
Don’t lay up, I’d rather her stand out
I heard number two is your man now
Don’t mind me bein’ number two now
I’ma man up, ain’t no man down
You see, I don’t give no fucks now
Is it somethin’ we discussed now?
The truth got you in disgust now
‘Cause I’d rather we just fuck now
[Chorus]
Don’t hold your breath (Don’t hold it, oh)
Don’t wait on my love (Don’t wait on my love, oh no)
Don’t hold your breath (Don’t hold it, no)
Don’t wait on my love (Ooh, don’t wait on my love, love)
[Verse 2]
I put the dirt into dirt bag
Still got your jacket in my bag
I stood you up, that was my bad
Gave me your heart, watch me break that
Many different bitches in the coupe
This is how low that a mack stoop
Me bein’ faithful’s the issue
Tryna clean up ’cause you comin’ soon
I broke her off in the livin’ room
There is a smell in the livin’ room
Know that’s fucked up, that’s what pimpin’ do
Ooh, know that’s fucked up, that’s what pimpin’ do, woah
[Chorus]
Don’t hold your breath (Don’t hold your breath, no, no)
Don’t wait on my love (Don’t wait on it, don’t wait on it, woah, woah)
Don’t hold your breath (You might suffocate, yeah, yeah)
Don’t wait on my love (Don’t wait on my love, don’t wait on my love, oh)
[Verse 3]
Wash my dick off before I get home
Maison Margiela on me, though
I’m the opposite of hero
The opposite of your hero
The make up, the breakup was see-through
The way I did you was illegal
Your girl was right, yeah, she called it
You should believe in your people
Tucked you, then went to the strip club
VIP, I got my dick sucked
Came back to you and I kissed ya
That led to fucking on the tour bus
Packed up and went back to Oakland
Finally, it’s out in the open
I gave you the hope, you did the hopin’
[Chorus]
Don’t hold your breath (Don’t hold your breath, don’t hold your breath, woo)
Don’t wait on my love (Don’t wait on me, I’ll let you down, I’ll let you down, yeah)
Don’t hold your breath (Oh-ooh)
Don’t wait on my love (I ain’t shit, you gotta know now, I ain’t shit, you gotta know)
[Outro: Choir]
Oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, hey
Oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, hey
Oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, hey
Oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, hey
Oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, hey
