The summertime goals are on the final lap with Labor Day Weekend officially on deck so why not keep the heat brewing courtesy of singer Halle? It’s all about the new songs and visual flexing like her ‘Because I Love You’ anthem.

The single goes hard but how about having storytelling on display courtesy of the new visual? Say less.

Today, global superstar singer/actress/versatile powerhouse Halle (Bailey) delivers a sublime new sound with latest single release “Because I Love You.” Co-penned by the British phenom Raye, “Because I Love You” introduces a new side of Halle—mature, confident, and ten toes down for her paramour, while also playfully reminding him of her own worth— “you ain’t used to girls that can do it high fashion, you f***** with a ten, amen.” 

As Halle reflects, “Because I Love You” is a song for anyone who has ever been deeply in love. It’s an anthem that tells the story of all of the beautiful passion and euphoria you can feel with that person.” She then touches on the song’s accompanying visual. “The video dives deeper into how vulnerable it makes you feel. I hope people enjoy listening and thinking of the person they love the most.”
