"'Hrs and Hrs'" (pronounced "hours and hours") is a song by American singer Muni Long from her EP 'Public Displays of Affection' (2021). The song gained recognition through TikTok in late 2021, and was sent to rhythmic contemporary radio on February 1, 2022, as the third single from 'Public Displays of Affection'. "'Hrs and Hrs'" is an R&B song detailing her love for someone.

It became Long's first song to chart on the 'Billboard' Hot 100, peaking at number 16. The song also topped the R&B Songs chart, becoming the first single by an independent female artist to top the chart. The song's success earned her a record deal from Def Jam Recordings in March 2022.

Background



Muni Long came up with the song one night when she was washing dishes. To pass time, she searched for beats on YouTube and played them. She came across an R&B beat which she immediately started freestyling to and began writing the song to the beat. According to Long, it took about 20 minutes. The next day, she went to the recording studio with songwriter Kuk Harrell, and recorded the song there. Initially, Long did not plan to include the song on her EP 'Public Displays of Affection', but it became a last-minute addition to the project.

Shortly after, actress Bre-Z (a friend of Long's) and her fianc Chris made a video of their relationship, accompanied by the song. Weeks later, in December 2021, Long posted the video on TikTok. It quickly went viral and the "Hrs and Hrs Challenge" was soon launched; the challenge was popular among the LGBT community, who thought the song meant "Hers and Hers". In January 2022, the song entered multiple 'Billboard' charts, and helped Long move to number one on the 'Billboard' Emerging Artists chart.

Composition



"Hrs and Hrs" is an R&B ballad containing "swoon-worthy, bass-thumping production" by Dylan Graham and Ralph Tiller. It finds Muni Love singing about her willingness to do certain things with her loved one for hours.

Critical reception



Elias Leight of 'Rolling Stone' wrote, "There's not much that's dry and bland about Renea's 'Hrs and Hrs', a decadent R&B ballad shot through with honeyed, high-wire runs, acrobatic ad-libs, and references to three different kinds of showers (champagne, thunder, traditional) that went viral over the holidays."

Remix



The official remix of the song features American singer August Alsina, and was released on December 29, 2021.

Commercial performance



"Hrs and Hrs" debuted at number 83 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100. In the week ending January 6, the song reached number 34 on the Hot 100, with 11.5 million streams in the United States (up 89%) and 3,500 downloads sold (up 81%).
