Among the selection of new arrivals on the R&B circuit this weekend is a single from California-based duo THEY., called “Set Me Free.” The nearly three-minute-long title landed on Friday (December 2) and has since earned upwards of 65K streams on Spotify alone.
Dante Jones lays out an undeniably smooth instrumental for the song. At the same time, vocalist Drew Love shares lyrics about staying sane even during life’s toughest moments.
“I’m in the city full of lies, started out as dreams / Victims of our pride and insecurities,” he sings. “I’m tryna get back to myself or who I used to be / Lost my train of thought with my sanity.”
As Rap Radar reports, “Set Me Free” is just one of the recent offerings from the group that’s due to land on their upcoming album. Others are to arrive throughout 2022 include “Lonely” with Bino Rideaux and “Comfortable” with Fana Hues.
Additionally, we heard from THEY. on Wiz Khalifa’s Multiverse album. Specifically, the group appears on “1000 Women,” which quickly became a fan favourite.
Before that, back in May, Dante and Drew made a splash with their sultry “Blü Moon” single.
“Ain’t gotta say nothin’, you know I been around the way / Skip that bullshit, you might as well just tell it to me straight / Girl, you been caught my eye / I’m thinkin’ we might tonight,” the song’s sultry lyrics go.

[Verse 1: Drew Love]
Jealousy’s a drug, feel it in my veins
Smell it in the air, see it on their face
Wanna feel alive, still I’m out of place
Waitin’ for my time, hope I’m not too late
I’m in the city full of lies, started out as dreams
Victims of our pride and insecurities
I’m tryna get back to myself or who I used to be
Lost my train of thought with my sanity
[Chorus: Drew Love]
I’m on my knees
Prayin’ that somebody
Will come and set me free
What do you want from me?
See me runnin’, don’t come for me
Just let me be
[Post-Chorus: Drew Love]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 2: Drew Love]
Even wrong, I never said I’m right
Hope this feelin’ doesn’t stay the night
Way too deep in this state of mind
Maybe there’s really no savin’ me
Maybe this wasn’t the place for me
I gotta stop thinkin’ these crazy things
[Outro: Drew Love]
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Set me free, set me free
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Set me free, set me free
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Set me free, set me free
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Set me free, set me free
