"'Ready for Whatever'" is a song recorded by American singer Ma. It was written and composed by Kevin McCall, Ma, and Lamar "MyGuyMars" Edwards while production duties was helmed by the latter with additional contribution from Khirye Tyler. A seductive midtempo song, "Ready for Whatever" serves as the lead single from her eighth studio album 'TKO (The Knock Out)' (2018) and as an intimate request from an unsatisfied lover to her man to make her a priority in his life and refuses to let anyone or anything get in the way of her love. Musically, "Ready for Whatever" is built around tinkling synths, breathy coos and a thick synth bass line which automatically sets the mood to be tantalized and teased. "Ready for Whatever" was released September 22, 2017 on all digital platforms. A music video shot and directed by Ma features her dancing in blue and purple haze lighting, modeling in a sports car, and hanging out at a skating rink co-starring Kevin McCall as her love interest.

Background



As tradition, on February 14, 2016, Ma released her seventh studio album 'Smoove Jones' (2016) to commemorate the release of her debut single "It's All About Me" and eighteenth anniversary in the entertainment industry. The release paid homage to R&B/soul/hip-hop with old school elements from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s and was released exclusively through Apple Music. Critically, 'Smoove Jones' received "generally favourable" reviews from music critics. In 2017, 'Smoove Jones' received a nomination for Best R&B Album at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards, which were held on February 12, 2017. Two days later, as a gift to her fans and commemorating her nineteenth anniversary, Ma released a music video for the fan favorite "Coolin'". Filmed in Sydney, Australia, director Matt Sharp captures the singer's unmistakable beauty while she lets her vocals do the rest on a sandy beach.

Part II



Approximately, two months later, a new mix featuring new vocals and arrangements from Ma was released aptly titled "Ready, Part II Bedroom Mix." Distinctively different than the original, musically and lyrically, "'Ready, Part II'" was written by Shaunise "Niecy" Harris, Sydnii Raymore, Ma and R.Kelly. While production was helmed by the latter, Lamar "Mars" Edwards and Khirye Tyler. Described as a sensual, slow burner, "Ready, Part II" was inspired and utilized R.Kelly's It Seems Like You're Ready (1993) as its musical foundation. Chosen as the second single from her eighth studio album 'TKO', "Ready, Part II" was released November 24, 2017 on all digital platforms.
