Giveon is proving to be the musical gift that keeps giving.

For, fresh from releasing his album ‘Give or Take,’ the R&B crooner has unwrapped brand new song ‘Time.’

Lifted from the ‘Amsterdam’ movie soundtrack (due October 7), the moving mid-tempo was penned by the singer alongside Drake and Daniel Pemberton. The latter of whom co-produced with Jahaan Sweet.

Speaking on the record, Giveon said:

“The depth and timeless feel of the record, as well as the incredible cast of talented actors starring in the movie immediately made me gravitate towards the film. I grew up listening and studying Frank Sinatra’s music, so I was excited to convey my admiration while channeling the feel of this film through that sound. Being a part of this incredible record has granted me the opportunity to step outside of my comfort zone.”

Drake also recently reflected on the song, saying:

“Loved working with this talented group and honored to help create something special and original for this meaningful film.”

The arrival of ‘Time’ comes as Giveon gears up to set sail on tour.
