Lay your head on my pillow.
Lay your head on my pillow.
Lay down.
It always feels good to see things come to life, you know, from just an idea.
I think that this is the best music in my career, in my life and uh, I'm really pleased to be able to share it with people.
So Lloyd, you're rocking a new look here, your hair totally different.
Tell me about it.
I'm rocking a new everything.

I like your braids.
Long hair, don't care.
I loved it.
It's a, it's a low fade, still paid.
It's a new me.
I think people have never heard me sound like this.
And uh, never have seen me look like this.
I'm a big fan of um, spontaneity and showing people different sides.
It's just like being in a relationship with someone.
You wanna spice it up, you wanna change things up every now and then, just to uh, keep it interesting.
Yeah, music is always evolving and I see you're evolving physically.
And your music, it sounds amazing.
I've been hearing it on playback.
Tell me about this music video.
We're in Voyeur obviously, a club in LA, which I've never seen during the day.
It's so weird to be in a club during the day, isn't it?
You've obviously been here.
No, because most of the times when we go to the club, we in there until the sun comes up.
So I mean it just feels like your all.
Yeah, it feels like, you know, we just about to leave the club actually.
So tell me about the music video.
What's the theme behind it, the message?
The theme behind the video is just a really sweet way to say, let's do something raunchy, let's have sex, let's just get crazy, you know, let's have a night of do something.
unadulterated pre-marital bliss.
Oh no.
Going past first base.
Before marriage?
Yeah, we just going straight there, straight there.
Skip all the extra stuff.
I ain't, the first line of the song is, I ain't Casanova.
Me and Romeo ain't never been friends.
I ain't Casanova.
Me and Romeo ain't never been friends.
But it's a lot of sweet messages.
The album is titled King of Hearts.
We're exploring all different sides of love.
Do you think the sound of your album is kinda like your look?
You look a little bit more mature, a little bit more seasoned.
Do you think that's what your album's gonna sound like?
Well, I'm still 24.
So there's still youth in the music, but it's very cocky.
It's a cocky youth.
It's like an experienced youth.
You know, I'm the kid who always was around people older than me.
I grew up fast.
I've been in the game for a long time.
So, you know, you add all of that up and, and mix it in and you kinda get this ahead of my time, but still a part of the time.
Yeah.
And I know you know how to move.
Are you gonna be dancing in this music video?
Yeah, why not?
I know you know how.
I mean, people all around the world like to dance, so, we gonna.
Well, I made you do the Soulja Boy three years ago.
I, I won't make you do it again.
We won't be doing.
But will you be dancing in the video?
We won't be doing the Soulja Boy today.
No?
Yeah, that's, that's, let that go.
