Halle Bailey is one busy woman, and it sounds like she’s about to get a whole lot busier. On April 30, the star of Disney’s upcoming live-action “The Little Mermaid” revealed a snippet of a new song on Twitter. While Bailey didn’t share the title of the song, she did tease fans would be hearing more music from her “in due time.”
The song in question gives off major slow R&B jam vibes and includes lyrics that allude to the struggle that comes with starting over with someone new after a heartbreak. “And I know it’s cause I’m not what you’re used to/Get out your feelings for me, babe,” she sings. Later in the song, Bailey can be heard crooning, “I deserve a love that doesn’t hurt.”
What’s unclear is whether this song will be included on any potential future album. Bailey captioned her tweet, “little blip from todayy another random ideaaa.” She followed that tweet up with a message from her cat, Poseidon, which read: “Hey guys Poseidon here . . . you all have been messaging my mommy about when she’s releasing music and she will in due time. The creative process is a wild one so you have to be patient.”

It seems that for the moment at least, Bailey is still in the early stages of working on her solo music, which is understandable given just how many projects she has coming up. In addition to starring in the live-action “The Little Mermaid,” which is set to premiere in 2023, she’s also currently filming “The Color Purple” musical with Danielle Brooks, Fantasia Taylor, and Colman Domingo and the upcoming thriller “The Line.” With so many high profile Hollywood projects on the horizon, it’s no wonder the multi-hyphenate star is trying to keep her fans’ expectations low on the music front for now.

Still, Bailey’s tweet reveals music is still a priority for her, and if that snippet is any indication, her solo album will be well worth the wait whenever it arrives.
