'Use Me' appeared on 'HNDRXX' in February 2017, a production credit shared by Detail and Miami trio The Track Burnaz. The track opens with a repeated refrain about distrust and false promises before pivoting to an extended offer of material support and emotional availability, Future cataloguing gestures of devotion whilst questioning the motives behind them. The verses sketch domestic scenes and logistical favours, picking up a partner's child, driving her car across state lines, confronting an ex, all framed as tools she might deploy at will. The chorus returns to suspicion, the word 'tries' sitting alongside 'lies' as if effort itself were suspect. The bridge and outro invert the dynamic: Future asks to be used, instructs the listener to use him, the repetition turning vulnerability into a kind of dare. The production, helmed by Detail, keeps the arrangement spare enough that the contradiction between generosity and wariness holds the centre.
"Use Me" is a track by Future, from the album HNDRXX, released 24th February 2017. Full lyrics are available below.

A guide to the April 2024 exchange behind Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Euphoria’, from ‘Like That’ and J. Cole’s withdrawal to Drake’s ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’.

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.
