"'Single Again'" is a single by American rapper Big Sean. It was released on July 26, 2019 by GOOD Music and Def Jam Recordings. The song was features background vocals from American singers Jhen Aiko and Ty Dolla Sign, as well as production from Johan Lenox, Amaire Johnson, Take a Daytrip, Cam O'bi, Dee Lilly, and Big Sean himself. The song samples "I Wish" by Carl Thomas and interpolates Sean's song "I Don't Fuck with You".
Background and composition
For about three years, Big Sean and Jhen Aiko dated one another on-and-off, but in March 2019, Aiko confirmed that they broke up. "Single Again" marks the first collaboration between them ever since.
Lyrically, Big Sean mulls over the end of his relationship with Aiko and unnecessity of entirely blaming the shortcomings on the other person. He also recognizes the importance of taking time for himself to focus on his own needs, as well as the impact on his mental health resulting from the breakup. Prior to releasing the song, Sean tweeted lyrics of the song, as well as a message that details the song's meaning and the importance of finding solace in a relationship with himself:
I never knew that I didn't know how to be alone in life. I always would find so much joy n happiness in a relationship or being with friends, but I didn't know how important it was to be in a relationship with yourself.
