Watch: Ryan Trey – “It’s About A Girl”
Ryan Trey has dropped a record specifically for the independent ladies called “It’s About A Girl.” He sets the tone for this song with his hypnotic vocal play and acclaims toward a special someone who’s “top 10 but not 10.” Moreover, the mellow R&B instrumental gives Trey leeway to express himself freely.
In the first verse, he describes the attributes that make his love interest a force to be reckoned with. Although she’s hard to impress, he’s showing her that he’s different than the rest.
He sings, “Still hold it down on the regular and lowkey/Still wakin’ up to different faces, yeah/She ain’t tryna to settle ’cause it’s complicated when you not basic.”
Deeper into “It’s About A Girl,” he doesn’t miss a beat as he continues shooting his shot. In turn, the august musician learns more about the apple of his eye. Since she refuses to settle, it seems like she’s bruised some egos along the way. That’s when Trey asks, “How many niggas can you curve in a night?” Although there are many men to choose from, she decides to wait it out. After all, every queen deserves a king.
To attest to her boss b*tch status, he drops these lines
“You in thе Range, changin’ keys on the regular/You be dubbin’ ’em with ease like it’s regular/On the ave pullin’ G’s off the cellular.”
Before the song closes, we learn that she’s given Trey a chance. As a result, guys on the sidelines begin to become envious. However, it doesn’t phase the East St. Louis artist. Instead, he advises the breadwinning ladies to give a peace sign to money-snatching men.
He croons, “Shawty said she lookin’ for a Trey, girl, I know/I’m a poppin’ n***a (Yeah)/East St. nigga (Yeah)/Please, get the f*ck up out my face, lil’ n***a, uh/B*tches come and go, I can’t relate, lil’ n***a.“
Last year, Trey gained high praise for his single “Rollin.” The record amassed close to 7 million streams on Spotify and became an instant fan favorite upon its release. Neil Dominique, who manages Bryson Tiller, Pardison Fontaine, and more, discovered Ryan three years ago. He is the first artist up on tastemaker Dominique’s #JUSTAREGULARDAY imprint.
