The six-time GRAMMY nominee, who recently went through a highly publicized divorce from his longtime partner Samantha Lee Gibson, unveiled the deeply personal tune to question his ex’s true intentions during their marriage.

“I’ve never felt so vulnerable and exposed in a song. This is my life, this is my story, this what really happened,” Ty revealed in a statement about the Brandon ‘B.A.M.’ Hodge-produced song. “[Lenny] connected with my vulnerabilities instantly and took the conviction and emotions of this song into new heights.“

As has seemingly become a tradition, Mario delivered a special musical gift for Valentine’s Day – this year in the form of the Ty Dolla $ign-assisted ‘Used to Me.’

Produced by D’Mile, the tune sees the GRAMMY-nominated duo trade verses about ex-lovers they can’t seem to get out of their heads (or out of their beds).

“Girl, don’t get used to your bed / If I’m not there with you / Girl, don’t get used to me begging / But I’m f-cking you tonight / ‘Cause we ain’t really got a lot to say,” they croon on the banger’s chorus.

Speaking on the sensual song, Mario says he didn’t have to look further than his own romantic past for motivation.

“The inspiration behind ‘Used To Me’ is my life,” he shared in a statement. “I don’t like to move on too fast. When I have a connection with a woman, I go all in, even if we are going through some struggles. Sometimes the combination of passion and pain brings about new levels of connection.”

Shortly after the arrival of ‘Used,’ Mario tapped famed director Ben Marc to helm its official music video. See it inside.
