Rising East London singer-songwriter kwn drops bold self-produced single “do what i say,” streaming now.
East London-based singer, songwriter, and producer kwn releases her latest single “do what i say,” a sultry, self-assured R&B cut that blends her signature intimacy with daring lyrical confidence.
Written and produced entirely in her bedroom, “do what i say” captures the blend of playfulness and authority that defines kwn’s rising star. From the commanding chorus — “you gone do what I say” — to lines like “paint your nails the way I like them,” the track draws you in and holds your attention.
“I made it just to experiment,” kwn says. “It was originally half the speed. I sped it up and something clicked. Lyrically, it’s me just having fun, seeing how cheeky I could get.”
The track follows a wave of breakout moments for kwn. She was recently named Billboard’s “Rookie of the Month,” and earlier this year joined Kehlani on the European leg of her Crash World Tour. Their remix of “worst behaviour” generated viral attention, with over 7 million views on its steamy music video and acclaim across social media.
Previous releases like “eyes wide open” have helped solidify kwn as a powerful new voice in UK R&B — honest, vulnerable, and unapologetically bold. Whether through her solo work or features like Jordan Adetunji’s “Too Many Women,” her vision and voice are undeniable.
With “do what i say,” kwn continues building a body of work defined by emotional transparency, fearless songwriting, and total creative control.
