Big Sean has just released a new single and music video called “On Up” ahead of his upcoming album Better Me Than You. The song is heartfelt and is now available through Def Jam Recordings. Pay attention to this and observe this.
Sean’s track is a celebration of fatherhood, with a breezy, buoyant, and bold sound that samples Jodeci’s classic hit of the same name. With a lively rhythm and the support of handclaps, he delves into his thoughts, reflecting on the pure innocence he sees in his son’s eyes. Simultaneously, he skillfully portrays his initial experiences as a father. The author beautifully expresses his love and wisdom as he shares a special moment with his baby boy, envisioning a heavenly scene. The visual effectively immerses the viewer in the perspective of son, Noah Hasani. The video beautifully captures a candid glimpse into the daily life of the whole family, as proud parents Sean and Jhené Aiko share precious moments of playtime, bath time, and bedtime from the baby’s perspective.
“On Up” is the third track to be unveiled from the highly anticipated sixth studio album by the hip hop powerhouse, Better Me Than You. It follows the impactful debut of “Yes” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and the intense comeback single “Precision.”
PRE-ORDER FORTHCOMING ALBUM BETTER ME THAN YOU NOW
In a recent video shared on social media, Sean delved into the meaning behind the title of his upcoming album. He reflected on the idea that sometimes it falls on us to take on the challenges and hardships, to be the one who steps up and faces it all. Whether it’s breaking a cycle in our family or making a change in our environment for the sake of our loved ones, we come to realize that we are chosen for these roles because we have the strength to handle them. That’s the way it was intended for you by a higher power. It seems that you understand the situation and accept that I am the one capable of handling it. I am a superior version of myself compared to your capabilities, do you understand? When I cradle my son in my arms, I can’t help but feel the weight of responsibility resting solely on my shoulders. It’s the responsibility of Dad to handle the extras, and sometimes it falls on his mama to step up and be the one who has to endure it all. However, one day, it will be his turn to take on that role. And when it happens, I hope he understands that it’s not a burden. This is an opportunity. You are perfectly suited for this responsibility. Better Me Than You.
Sean is set to have a compelling and candid conversation with Charlamagne tha God on his “Out of Context” series, which will be available for streaming on Friday, August 2 at 9am ET. Check out the episode trailer right here.
According to Billboard, it’s safe to say that Big Sean season has made a comeback.
