About This Track

'Confidence' finds Chris Brown in a smooth, island-inflected groove, the track built around a simple but potent hook that circles back to the pull of self-assurance. The song treats desire as a form of control, the narrator drawn to a partner's assertiveness and command. References to 'Fifty Shades' anchor the song's fixation on power dynamics and secrecy, the plea to keep their arrangement hidden running through both verse and chorus. Brown frames the affair as something fractured and incomplete, the second verse catching him caught between wanting more and the impossibility of having it. The production stays measured and sensual, letting the vocal melody do most of the work, whilst the repetition of the title phrase builds a kind of hypnotic pull. It is a track about being wanted for the wrong reasons, and knowing it.

"Confidence" is a track by Chris Brown, from the album Heartbreak on a Full Moon, released 21st October 2017. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Confidence

[Intro]

Yeah, oh

Yeah

[Verse 1]

Tell me what you feelin'

Wanna know what's on your mind

I know he ain't committed

But we do this all the time, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

Please don't tell nobody 'bout this affair

Baby, go and dirty whine it out, thank you, baby

We might not make it to the room from right here

I love it when you tell me what to do, like sit right there

Yeah, I need that

Fifty Shades, ooh

Tie your hands properly

I'm lovin' it

[Chorus]

It's your confidence (Oh-woah)

Your confidence (Oh-woah)

Your confidence (Oh-woah)

Confidence (Confidence)

It's your confidence

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh (Oh, yeah)

Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-woah

Oh-woah

Ooh-ooh-ooh (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah-yeah)

Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-woah

Oh-woah

Your confidence

[Verse 2]

Is this how we're livin'?

I'm thrown off, I can't have you all the time

And girl, I wish you made your decision

Girl, go ahead and make up your mind (Mind)

Got me all out here fiendin'

[Pre-Chorus]

Please don't tell nobody 'bout this affair

Baby, go and dirty whine it out, thank you, baby

We might not make it to the room from right here

I love it when you tell me what to do, like sit right there

[Chorus]

It's your confidence

Your confidence

Your confidence

Confidence (Confidence)

It's your confidence

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah-yeah)

[Outro]

Fifty Shades, ooh

Tie your hands properly

I'm lovin' it

Get on top me

Inside you is where I wanna be

I love everythin' but most importantly

It's your confidence
