Now that fans have had a sample of the set’s content via tunes ‘Circles’ and ‘Two Ways,’ Trey’s inviting them to see the menu of the soon-to-arrive full course.

Thanks to a viral Tik Tok challenge, ‘Savage Love’ has become one of the biggest hits of Jason Derulo‘s career.

In addition to being his first Platinum single since 2017’s Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla $ign-assisted ‘Swalla,’ the Jawsh 685-produced cut is Derulo’s first Hot 100 top 10 hit in 5 years (as we reported here).

Now, in an effort to push the tune to higher Hot 100 heights, the Miami dance machine has enlisted fellow stage blazers BTS to assist with its remix (as we reported here).

Will help from the K-Pop septet (who are currently sitting at #1 on the charts with their tune ‘Dynamite’) be just what’s needed to hoist ‘Savage Love’ to similar heights?

Three weeks ago, SZA sprung a surprise on fans with the unannounced release of new song ‘Hit Different’ – the kick off from her long-awaited sophomore album.

Featuring Ty Dolla $ign, the slow-burning tune boasts production from The Neptunes and saw its arrival accompanied with its official music video (directed by GRAMMY-nominated songstress herself).

Greeted with fanfare, ‘Hit’ – as we reported here – seemed to be an out-of-the-box hit as it scored SZA her highest Hot 100 premiere (as a lead act) ever.  Yet, its time in the tally’s top 40 was short-lived as peruse of the refreshed chart shows the cut has made a nearly 50-spot drop from its #29 debut.
