First off idk if anyone else can HEAR how her overall confidence has grown over the years! I love that I’ve got to witness this growth of an artist!!! 💚🔥🔥🔥🔥

I think Serpentina will be the ultimate culmination of how BANKS has grown as an artist over the years, from her vocals to her lyrics to her production. Honestly can't wait.

‘I want you more than moonlight, I want you more than sunshine’ ugh yes RUN THAT BACK, JILLIAN!

I absolutely admire how she is sticking to her guns. This song emanates the vibe of an artist doing whatever the eff' she wants and what the music calls for rather than an attempt to make a hit.

"When the truth is tough Honesty may not be enough" ... Poignant wording🔥🔥🔥

Holy fuck how her voice has strengthened! This is what I've always waited for!

the beat is so hard and it fits with her voice so well

Literal chills wow…I’m literally speechless. This song is amazing

BANKS LITERALLY DOES NOT HAVE ONE BAD SONG. NOT. A. SINGLE. ONE. I LOVE THIS WOMAN SO MUCH!

BANKS CONFIDENCE ALWAYS SHINED! IM NOT SURPRISED. She has always been here ahead of her time. A sound meshed together that I love and finally someone has been making and is still here!

This is my favourite from Serpentina. It's a nice sibling song to Gemini Feed from The Altar. What happens when you're so used to fighting from past dysfunctional relationships, but then you luck out and end up with a sweet heart where "not every conversation is a new grenade."

Literally crying, shes coming back soon, she’ll bless us with an album with her iconic beats and vocals, can’t wait. This ones so good, now imagine the album-

[Intro] Love, love is holding back I know I’ve done you wrong Did I say too much? Drowned my sorrow’s, called you up When the truth is tough Honesty may not be enough [Chorus] ‘Cause love is holding back I know I’ve done you wrong Lead me on my way I’ll see you in the morning And lovin’ is holdin’ back And now you’re feeling wounded Ever told you that I’ve seen the light?
You know I pushed you ’cause I go too far
Something ’bout what you said in the morning
Never gave me a warning, ah
Now while you’re walking free
I’ll stay in the middle unaccompanied
Missin’ you a little, won’t you come and see?
I wrote you a melody, can’t you see that?
It’s you I’m lovin’, babe
I know you won’t admit it, but we’rе something, babe
All I wanna do is get you lovеd and laid
I wrote you a melody, can’t you see that? [Chorus]
Love is holding back
I know I’ve done you wrong
Did I say too much?
Lead me on my way
I’ll see you in the morning
And lovin’ is holding back
And now you’re feeling wounded [Verse 2]
I remember when you locked us out
We had to climb in through the window
How lifted me up, was on the second floor
And I always loved that story
And won’t you talk to me?
You don’t think I listen, but I do, you see
Words are never bitter ’cause your voice so sweet
Your voice is like a melody, can’t you see that?
Baby, don’t be afraid
Not every conversation is a new grenade
All I wanna do is get you loved and laid
I wrote you a melody, can’t you see that? [Chorus]
Love is holding back
I know I’ve done you wrong
Did I say too much?
Lead me on my way
I’ll see you in the morning
And lovin’ is holdin’ back
And now you’re feeling wounded [Bridge]
Anything
I want you more than all time
I want you more than moonlight
I want you more than sunshine
I want you more than water
I want you more than high tides
So don’t you say that our time is up
Our time ain’t up, oh-ooh-ooh-ooh
‘Cause I want you, I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you (I want you)
Give me love, give me love, give me love
Give me love, give me love, yeah
I want you, I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you (Want you, want you, want you, want you, want you)
Give me love, give me love, give me love
Give me love, give me love, yeah (Give me love, yeah) [Chorus]
Love is holding back, yeah
I know I’ve done you wrong
Over and over
Lead me on my way
I’ll see you in the morning
And lovin’ is holding back
And now you’re feeling wounded
Love is holding back, yeah
I know I’ve done you wrong (Oh, na na na na na na)
Lead me on my way (Oh, na na na na na na)
I’ll see you in the morning (Oh, na na na na na na)
(Baby, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you)
And lovin’ is holding back
And now you’re feeling wounded

I'm a man and I've been cranking her music for years now lol 🔥

This song is amazing. It’s the perfect blend of sonic production from her past 3 albums

This song is sooo moving! You can really feel her emotions!

*holds hands above head and cries while clapping hard asf* SHES DONE IT AGAIN LADIES AND FUCKING GENTLEMAN HOW TF SHE'S BEEN SO SLEPT ON IS BEYOND ME.... I'VE LOVED HER FOR ABOUT NINE YEARS NOW

I am absolutely OBSESSED with this Queen! She does not disappoint. Ever. Banks is the best

Banks você é incrível em tudo que faz, entenda isso. ❤️🇧🇷

She just gets better and better, like a fine wine!

hello to everyone who's been here since the beginning, watching our evil queen grow and thrive. she never disappoints.

Needs to hit the radio already.

idk if it’s me but i feel the freedom and the excitement in this song.

Just copped the album about 30 minutes ago and this is the first track I had to put on repeat, that beat/hook is a standout.

🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️Serpentine was the best R&B Album of 2022

This song absolutely completely slept on 😭 like this song is so good it’s *ridiculous* how little attention it’s gotten!!

she never disappoints, seriously. she'll be my favorite singer forever

One of the most beautiful songs I've heard from Banks. You can feel the honesty in her voice.

I love, love, love Holding Back! I’m so ready for Serpentina (I love that name btw) BANKS never disappoints. ❤️❤️

She’s evolved so much as an artist, I’m genuinely so proud of her 🥰🥰🥰🥰

On repeat. ❤

I can't listen to this without sobbing help

I had tears in my eyes when I heard her voice come through from the tune. She is absolutely unreal 😣😩YOUR VOICE is like a melody .

tears in my eyes!!!!! and this is why banks will always be my favorite. so excited for the serpentina era and to hear the rest of the album - i missed that intoxicating signature ~banks~ sound so much

Amazing song. She always delivers. One of the most innovative and original artists around.

This song stopped me dead in my tracks…. like I forgot what I was even doing before 🔥🔥🔥

I couldn't expect less from Banks... stunning!! 🇧🇷

A breath of fresh air! It’s a new sound but still so uniquely banks. I’m still bumping III

She ain't holding back with this comeback! I'd love a dark ballad!

Amazing!!!!! Stayed up to watch you on Kimmel and recorded for my sister to see when she wakes up since she couldn't hang! We have been so excited for this release gonna blast it all day everyday so the neighbors hear!! Love you, thank you so much! 🐍💖🌹🔥😘😘😘

Something about this song is so ADDICTING 😩

Yoooooooooo baby I'm here before the million. 32k gang let's hold it down before "everybody" come over here.

She’s done it AGAIN she deserves all the recognition 😭😩🖤🖤

I was surprised when I read the lackluster reviews for this album, banks is at her prime here imo

Banks has everything it takes to be a STAR. She knows how to write songs with melody, rhythm, and intelligent inciteful lyrics. Maturity is strong in her writing and she has abstract artistic smarts in her work. She's a deep thinker without a doubt, and she captures the feminist p.o.v. HER way, not letting someone dictate to her how to do it. She is nobody's bimbo. The ONLY catch to her songs that spoil it all is that godawful wretched Autotune. It totally hoses and fucks everything up.

SHE IS IN HER BAG ONCE AGAIN!!!

This needs to be on R&b radio. This song is jammin'.

Essa mulher não tem absolutamente NENHUMA música ruim, sou viciada em todas 😍

Ok but like can we just acknowledge how incredible she has become over the years!!! Like she is so underrated. 😍😍😍

This song slaps so hard when the beat drops it hurts my soul so good 🥰

This woman has changed my life. Her words I always relate to you. Her sound always gets me moving and going. I love her as an artist she's absolutely amazing! I've literally grown with her over 10 years and her evolution is amazing

One of my favorite, emotion-charged vocal performances you’ve ever done luv🐍🐍🐍

queen has never missed

Songwriting always on point.

Yes MA'AM!!!!!! That's what I thought. Nothing but absolute perfection here. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

I’m convinced banks and Florence are real life sirens. They love water lol, and I swear their voices could lure me anywhere

JILLIAN what are you doing to me 😱 this new music is 🔥

That sample is 🔥

To this day she is still so underrated for me I love being able to witness her growth in music it’s amazing

I'm very excited for this era and happy that the new album 'Serpentina' will be released one day before my birthday, April 8th. I love this song and will be listening to it every day until the album comes out. 🇧🇷

⚡✨Waah. The chills. every. time. It's been years, since the very beginning and I'm so proud. Banks never gets old, it's amazing how much she's grown. I can't wait~ 🖤🐍💜

I think she would've shined more if she stripped the production 2 notches down, the chorus has many sounds competing with one another :/ Reminds me of 2016

My girl never disappoints and she’s in love!

LITERALLY HAVEN'T STOPPED PLAYING THIS SONG SINCE IT WAS RELEASED SO EXCITED FOR SERPENTINA

Only Banks makes such quality music.I'm a fan.

Been here since Goddess, never leaving💙

So far the best single coming off this new album or ep she is working. I have a great feeling of the project. Production was on point lyrics are on point and BANKS on point.

Banks is so underrated. She def deserves more recognition

She is so amazing each melody she creates and builds and layers so so well. All of our favs🙌

BANKS!!!! Thank you so much!!! I think you just healed my relationship. I've been waiting so patiently for this release!! We got to watch your performance together before work and we both cried. I love the way your songs make me feel! Thank you for being so real to the world. You are amazing!

So much soul OMG

a mulher sempre entregando tudo em cada lançamento❤

Not a fan of the high pitched auto tune on the chorus but really good song :) Can't wait for the new album!!

Essa musica parece uma abertura/encerramento de uma série ou anime, PERFEITAAA

i can’t stop listen this work of art 😭 it’s amazing

An artist in voice, vision & visuals 🥰🙏🏻

Yeah this shit is amazing

AN ANTHEM for all of the beautiful things about this world… overwhelming and moving

Screaming Crying Throwing Up

wow she did it!!! i was so afraid she would sell out herself doin songs of 2 minutes for tiktok but this....this is a MASTERPIECE!!! cant wait for the album

absolutely yes.

chills all over my body... this is SO GOOD!!

OH MY GOD WHAT IS THISSSSS!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Music is a language that everyone can understand but few can speak, and many try to impersonate, but Banks feels like a teacher 🤍

I love this. It reminds me of the BANKS that first cams out. I love everything about this

HER BJORK BREAKTHROUGH ALBUM ERA BYEEEEEEE 💕💕💕😭😭

Been listening to Banks since Goddess and the evolution of her artistry is just absolutely insane she never disappoints ✨🖤

this is a bop no doubt

This song is amazing

Ela tá de volta🇧🇷🇧🇷❤

Can we talk about the dancing for a moment? How amazing was that choreo and the talent? Kaycee Rice AND Banks are both QUEENS. Absolutely ICONIC.

She’s definitely unique and I’m her own lane. Love her music

Bruh I just now found this. Don’t worry, I’ll have you at a million views soon :) idk how it’s not already.

OH THIS SLAPS!!!!!!!

Gosh this should've been the album cover

Honestly, I think this is the best vocal performance of her career, next to maybe Better. Just incredible. You feel every word she sings so powerfully 💗

you’ll probably never see this BANKS but you are absolutely incredible

PERFEITAAAAAA, TE AMOOOOOO, NÃO ERRA NUNCAAA

truly the definition of for better of worse, i wish unconditional love for everyone

Best song yet - NO CAP
