"Workin on Me" is a song by American rapper Russ and American singer 6lack, released on May 17, 2024.
Background
[edit | edit source]Russ gave some background information on the song to The Source: "I made this song a little over a year ago and didn't have a second verse on it. I included a snippet of the song on my fan voting platform and it was voted in the top 3. I sent 6lack the song to jump on and he killed it, and we're going on an arena tour this summer."[1]
Composition
[edit | edit source]The song uses a "downtempo, grungy" guitar loop, with lyrics revolving around failed relationships[2] and struggling in self-improvement.[3] Russ raps and croons for the first half of the track, before 6lack performs a verse in which he apologizes for his wrongdoings and promises to be a better person.[2]
Critical reception
[edit | edit source]Shawn Grant of The Source wrote, "This soulful and introspective track highlights Russ' vulnerable vocals and lyricism, complemented by a poignant verse from 6lack."[1]
