Brittany Howard - What Now

I am so proud and excited to announce the release of my new song “What Now”.  It was written during the pandemic when the question “What now” was on all of our minds.  I think it is a feeling that has continued to the present moment in the world we live in. It is also the title of the new album and I think when you hear it you will understand why I landed on that title…but more on that later.  Thanks to Zac Cockrell, Nate Smith, Paul Horton, and Lloyd Buchanan for crushing it as always and to Shawn Everett for being my partner in crime.  Love you all.  Thank you for listening and being there for me through/with all my twists and turns.

“What now”

I don’t wanna confuse u for fulfillment

I don’t want to wonder what our love is

I might be the one to cause you trouble

I’ve been asking questions you don’t wanna know

I wonder if I’m here just so I’m not alone

It’s painful but I might as well say sorry

I surrender let me go

I don’t have love to give you more

You’re fucking up my energy

I told the truth so set me free

If you want someone to hate

Then blame it on me

I’ve been making plans that don’t include you anymore

My heart wants to stay but I don’t know what for

I can’t have it always thinking for me

I’ve been learning lessons I didn’t wanna know

I wonder if I stay because it’s comfortable

I wonder if you notice I ain’t trying

(Chorus)

I don’t wanna get used to all the tension

I don’t wanna worry what kind of mood you’re in

I don’t wanna fall for your potential

I’ve been staying open you don’t wanna grow

I’ve been seeing patterns that I can’t ignore

It is what it is I guess I’m sorry?

But I ain’t sorry
