GIVĒON Drops Mega-Anticipated Full-Length Debut Album Give Or Take
Delivering the R&B event of the summer, GRAMMY-nominated multi-platinum R&B star GIVĒON presents his anxiously awaited full-length debut album, Give Or Take, today via Not So Fast/Epic Records. Available HERE.
To celebrate the arrival of the record, he just shared the energetic and cinematic music video for the new single “Lost Me.” Upbeat production sets the track in motion as guitar wraps around the simmering beat. It culminates on an instantly catchy chorus, “ I’m not looking for the one, later but for now I’m having fun.”
It stands out as one level of the story at the heart of Give Or Take. Across the record’s 15 tracks, he relays his account of the past year to his mother, speaking bluntly on the ups, downs, romances, relationships, and everything in between. To bring this to life, he worked with an all-star cast of producers and collaborators, including Cardo, Boi-1da, Jahaan Sweet, Sevn Thomas, OZ and more.

The journey commences with the sparse piano of “Let Me Go” where his robust baritone echoes over 808s as he muses, “Either love me, or I gotta leave.” Elsewhere, “July 16th”highlights the dynamics of his voice as he confesses, “I’ve been down this road before,” in between string-laden piano. “At Least We Tried” reflects on a past relationship with candor and clarity, while the finale “Unholy Matrimony” hinges on airy production as he paints a picture of a, “White gown hanging in the closet, black tuxedo that I never got to wear,” as a dream of marriage fades to black.
Next up, he takes over the stage at the BET Awards this weekend. Be sure to tune in for what promises to be a show-stopping performance.
Honest, heartfelt, and hard-hitting, Give Or Take is everything R&B should be in 2022 and more.
In honor of Give Or Take, GIVĒON will launch his biggest North American headline tour in 2022. Canvasing the continent for nine weeks, it kicks off on August 16 in Philadelphia, PA, visits major cities coast-to-coast with gigs in Los Angeles, Boston, and New York. Check out the full confirmed itinerary below. Tickets are available HERE.
Known for his unforgettable live performances, this tour promises to be his boldest, brightest, and best yet—and it will sell out!
He heralded Give Or Take with the ballad “Lie Again.” It has already amassed over 12.2 million Spotify streams and 5.3 million YouTube views on the music video. Right out of the gate, Rolling Stone hailed it as “beautifully painful,” and Complex proclaimed, “He shows his strength in vocals as he asks his partner to lie to him about past indiscretions.”
Last September, GIVĒON shared “For Tonight,” the lead single off the record, which is now RIAA certified Gold. The song was praised by outlets such as Complex and Rolling Stone on its way to amassing more than 175 million streams worldwide. Earlier this month, GIVĒON released a live version of “For Tonight” as part of the VEVO LIFT performance series. That followed his appearance at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards where GIVĒON joined Justin Bieber and Daniel Caesar for a smooth, jam session-style performance of their chart-topping hit “Peaches.”
GIVĒON also just concluded his sold-out European tour titled “FROM THE FIVE SIX TWO” with dates in Amsterdam, Germany, France and Spain and will be headed back across the pond to perform at Wireless Festival in London on July 8th.
