‘Girls’ Night Out,’ the latest studio album from singer-songwriter-producer Babyface, is out now and there’s no better way to celebrate than to give music lovers yet another taste of what it’s offering.

Having already bagged critical acclaimed for the 12-song project’s previously released songs ‘Game Over’ with Queen Naija,  ‘Seamless’ with Kehlani, and ‘Keeps on Fallin with Ella Mai (which peaked at #1 on R&B charts), the 11-time Grammy winner is looking to elicit a similar response for another of the set’s housed cuts: the delectable ‘Liquor.’

Assisted by R&B diva Ari Lennox, the dynamic duo use the metaphor-driven love song to compare their love interests to libations.

“Two shots of liquor, no chaser, no rocks, no blend, straight up, just you / Two shots of liquor, uh uh / I need 100 from my man he can’t be 80 proof / When he ask me throw it back I tell him absolutely, uh uh,” Lennox croons on the sultry cut.
