Swim in the luscious ocean of jazzy R&B with Giveon. His new single is out on all platforms.
Today, R&B sensation 
Giveon released his latest single, Rather Be, via Epic Records, and it’s already stirring hearts and topping playlists. The track, a lush ballad, showcases Giveon’s signature baritone as he navigates the complexities of love with deep sincerity.
With lyrics like, “I’d rather be a fool than believe in someone new / I’d rather be with you,” the song captures the ache of choosing a flawed but familiar love over the uncertainty of moving on.
Produced by a stellar lineup—Sevn Thomas, Maneesh, Matthew Burnett, Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman, and Jahaan Sweet—Rather Be wraps listeners in a warm, ‘60s-inspired soundscape, complete with rich horns and a retro R&B groove.
The accompanying music video, directed by Loris Russier, elevates the experience with Giveon performing alongside a live band in a sleek, cosmopolitan setting, interwoven with nostalgic glimpses of a past romance.
Following the success of his 2025 single Twenties, which climbed into the Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs chart, Rather Be feels like a prelude to Giveon’s highly anticipated sophomore album.
With its lyrical authenticity and crystal clear sound, “Rather Be” solidifies Giveon’s place as a leading voice in modern R&B. This is one to play on repeat, whether you’re reflecting on love or just vibing to its soulful rhythm. Stream it now and get lost in the feeling.
