Summer may be coming to a close but Khalid is still vibing hard through the season. Evidence of this is found in his new video for ‘Right Back’ – the latest release from his first chart-topping album, ‘Free Spirit.’

Tapping rapper A Boogie With Da Hoodie to assist, the Stargate-produced tune follows the success of ‘Spirit’s leading singles ‘Talk’ and ‘Better’ (both peaked in the Hot 100’s top 10).

“She got every pair of Chanel out in SoHo/ Tried backdoor, hit the city for sure/ And when you get dressed up, you take hours/ Baby girl, you know you can do whatever,” Boogie spits on the opening verse.

Is it set to follow in its predecessors’ footsteps?  Listen inside and tell us:
