Lucky Daye is back and aiming to blaze with his new single ‘That’s You.’

Produced and co-penned by Bruno Mars, the butter-smooth bop serves as the first taste of the GRAMMY-winner’s next project following his delicious sophomore set – 2022’s ‘Candydrip.’

Wasting no time lighting a match under the track, the R&B belter unlocked the song’s accompanying music video.

Directed by Nick Walker and conceptualized by Lucky, the visual – which was lensed on home soil in New Orleans – follows the performer as he encounters women whom he takes home as a sacrifice for the nucleus love interest who controls his heart.

Speaking on the release, Lucky said:

“I sang my heart out on ‘That’s You.’ I felt like I was on the moon. I want people to think about that one person they just can’t be without when they listen. Hopefully, that person is a good person.”

As previously reported, harsh criticism over the City Girls‘ ill-fated latest album, ‘RAW,’ turned into an all-out war between Yung Miami and Web personality DJ Akademiks.

And while the two are no strangers to having online beef with each other, the latest incident took a dark turn when Miami’s bestie – fellow rapper Saucy Santana – entered the chat in her defense.

Sparking a slew of homophobic remarks from Akademiks (born Livingston Allen) including threats of physical violence and dismemberment, those comments were not met with the vitriol of Santana’s who reacted to the DJ’s intimidation tactics with threats to sexually assault him.

The ‘Booty‘ hitmaker’s commentary left Allen butthurt, so much so he later took to social media in tears.
