Before wowing Essence Festival attendees with a stunning tribute to Aaliyah over Independence Day weekend, Chloe Bailey gave fans another reason to be jaw-dropped: the music video for her newest single ‘On Your Own.’

A standout track from the critically acclaimed ‘Resurrection‘ mixtape with producer extraordinaire Timbaland, the clip’s arrival follows ‘Better Than She Can,’ ‘Priorities,’ and ‘Talking Dirty‘ as the latest fan-favorite from the project to be granted the visual treatment.

“I’ve seen it all before, I know you want it off right now (right now) / Impatient (Impatient) / I just can’t take it, slow down (She said, she said) / Nothing lasts forever, only get it right one time, oh / How can you make it on your own? (On your own),” wails Bailey over thumping production from Timbo.
