Sweat released “Lay You Down” on Valentine’s Day. The candy-coated track was produced by Wirlie Morris. It marked Sweat’s first song release since 2021’s “Can’t Nobody.” 

“At this stage of my career, I make music that move me to say something. I am not interested in releasing music for the sake of statistics,” Sweat said about the latter track. He added, “I really became a fan of Raheem last year when we worked together and wanted to do a song with him. This is the result of that collaboration.”

Sweat has not confirmed if “Lay You Down” is a standalone track or a single from an upcoming project. His last album, Playing For Keeps, was released in 2019. The project featured K-Ci Hailey, Teddy Riley, Tank and more.

Sweat will be traveling across North America this spring and summer, making stops in Macon, Georgia; Ontario, Canada; Concord, California; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and more. See his upcoming tour dates below.
