R&B legend, Keith Sweat is back with a quiet-storm track for the lovers!
On Wednesday, February 14, the iconic singer-songwriter dropped his new single “Lay You Down.” Sweat is fully in his loverboy bag as he croons over an instrumental while listing off all the ways he wants to love his special lady. The smooth, slow jam is the first track from his forthcoming EP.
“Happy Valentines Day ❤️❤️❤️” Keith Sweat wrote in his Instagram caption. “I’m So Excited To Announce My New Single ‘Lay You Down’ Is Available Now On All Digital Platforms‼️ We Celebrating Love.”
“’Cause I just want to lay you down / I’m so into you, make love I will do / You got me thinking / I just want to lay you down / I’m so into you, there’s nothing I’ll do,” he croons on the chorus about his desire to get physical. Keith keeps it just as classy and respectful for most of the song, only getting a little risqué on the second verse with the lyrics, “Tasting your, your Nestle / ’Cause chocolate I adore / Ooh, baby / Want you to just kiss me / Let me see how it taste.”
“Lay You Down” is co-written by Jermaine Robbins, Wirlie Morris and Sweat. Morris is also the song’s producer and plays all instruments, laying down a silky sound bed of keys, bass and drums for Keith to do what he does best.
