American singer-songwriter and actress Coco Jones released a new song “Here We Go (Uh Oh)” on May 3, 2024.
The song will appear on her upcoming debut album (yet untitled), which is expected to be released this fall.
The debut album is the follow-up to the 2022 EP “What I Didn't Tell You” included “ICU”, which won Best R&B Performance at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards.
She recorded 40 songs for the album.
The new track samples Lenny Williams' 1978 ballad “Cause I Love You”.
It was written by Carl McCormick, Courtney Jones, Kelvin Wooten, Lenny Williams, Michael Bennett, Sara Diamond, and Sydney Floyd. Produced by Cardiak and Wu10.
The accompanying music video was directed by Joy 'Simi' Hubbard.
Coco Jones said of the song, “It's the impossible mission to move on from this chapter, from this person, from this cycle.”- She told Rated R&B about the song, “I think my intention was urgency. I feel like the reason I even proceeded to write 'ICU' was because that music felt unskippable, you know? That's my goal with anything that I do. So, when I heard the Lenny Williams sample, I immediately was like, 'Huh?!' That was urgent. The record in itself just feels like a whole world - a whole thing is happening, you know? I just ran with that feeling.”
She continued, “I think the music inspired the song concept because I feel like with the sample, it feels like this orchestra and like a mystery. [It's] like this mission is happening like 007 or something. I was like, 'What could be the mission here?' And the mission, I feel like, is to be free from this person that constantly comes back in - to get over that hurdle.” - source : Apple Music
