Bow Wow is putting those retirement plans on pause with hopes fans will be pressing play on his new song ‘Use Me‘ with Chris Brown.

“It’s been nearly a decade since I dropped a full project, and to still be going strong twenty-five years after my debut is a blessing,” said Bow about the new song dropped on Friday (March 28). “Getting back in the studio with Chris [Brown] feels like a full-circle moment. Every time we connect, we create something special.”

The longtime collaborators have delivered multiple Urban music favorites over the last 20 years including ‘Run It (Remix)’ and ‘Shortie Like Mine,’ but ‘Use’ comes as their first joint effort since 2010’s ‘Ain’t Thinkin Bout You.’

“I’ll let you use me, yeah / Use me, yeah / You’re so sexy, won’t you come bless me? Quit playin’ / Do what you wanna do with me, do your thing, baby,” Brown croons over production from Hitmaka and Go Grizzly.
