'Solo' appeared as the sixteenth track on 'HNDRXX', released on 24th February 2017, seven days after Future had issued another album titled 'FUTURE'. The song runs four minutes and twenty-five seconds, built around a refrain of reassurance, 'I don't wanna let you down', that Future repeats over a production stripped back enough to foreground his voice. The lyrics catalogue luxury and routine in equal measure: Gucci purchases, Rollie watches on ice, first-class flights, twenty-ounce steaks that cannot fit the plate. Future frames these details as gestures of provision, promises made to someone who now 'got it made right now', who has maids and need not pump gas. The chorus pivots to solitude, the title assertion arriving late: 'I been solo now, I've been going solo now.' The track handles a break-up by listing what was offered and acknowledging what remains, the 4 AM timestamp suggesting the hour when both claims feel sharpest.
"Solo" is a track by Future, from the album HNDRXX, released 24th February 2017. Full lyrics are available below.

Rockstar has confirmed a dynamic score and an evolved in-game radio system for ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’, while keeping the mechanics under wraps.

The liquid-filled limited edition sold out in under an hour, with resale listings now reaching more than four times its £108.99 original price.

A 34-track soundtrack featuring Travis Scott, Yung Lean, Keith Richards and more will arrive alongside ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ on 19th November.

A wave of GTA VI-styled social posts has prompted soundtrack speculation, but the publicly reported confirmation list is far shorter.

Spotify billboards using the same visual language as a wave of musician posts have prompted speculation about a 'GTA 6' campaign, though neither Spotify nor Rockstar has confirmed a partnership.
