Three months after watching her 2018 eponymous debut album reach 2x Platinum status in the United States (signifying sales of 2 million copies), Brit-born beauty Ella Mai is hoping to do the same with its follow-up.
Sending her fans into a frenzy earlier this week with the official announcement her ‘sophomore era’ had begun (as we reported here), the GRAMMY winner also unveiled news of the project’s first single – ‘DFMU’ (an acronym for ‘don’t f*ck me up’).
“Don’t f*ck me up, don’t let me down / You know I wanna be around / You tuggin’ war with my heart / Didn’t think it’d evеr be so hard / Crazy I’m lettin’ down my guard,” she croons on the chorus of the R&B bop.
Ahead of the premiere of its accompanying music video Friday (January 28) at 9AM PST, look inside to hear ‘DFMU.’

She sounds so UGLY on here. Her vibrato is overwhelming. She could use a new vocal producer. Song is underwhelming.
Girl you never having another Bood Up. Get a new vibe.
Fete Dobson clone
I like it!! The background harmonies add a full sound that real r&b songs should have. I am gonna need an up tempo banger from her though.
See, you know your stuff lol 💯 She sounds good 🎶
Flop
Like your titts?
I want her to win so badly as she is talented but this is generic, boring, c.breezy sounding song. Underwhelming for a first single, not another love song was better and that was boring as well. She needs to release an r&b banger, something a bit more uptemp but that still has that old skool sound. Sort it out Ella asap. Demote this to buzz single as it is going to flop hard. yawn.
I disagree. C.Breezy inspired songs stay on Urban radio hun hence many rappers themselves working w/ him as oppose to Trey Songz who’s on the R. Kelly wave OR Brent Fiyaz who’s music is actually 90’s inspired.
Unfortunately that’s NOT the style of R&B the people are requesting. Chris Brown song w/ Drake is almost Diamond whereas Brent Fiyaz song w/ Drake hasn’t reached platinum status.
This is gonna sound good on the radio getting some Mickey D’s lol 🍟 🎶 Ella knows her niche…get on the radio and stay there lol..it’s a grower 💯
You know what, in all honesty- 🥱
Why does she sound like she is singing under water? She sounds terrible.
