Teyana Taylor has began her roll out for her visual album “Escape Room” with a new video for the track “Long Time”
Watch:
Long Time is actually the lead track for her upcoming album, Escape Room, which is due out sometime in August.
With an infectious electronic vibe and a bassline that grabs you from the start, the song builds up to a bold, explosive chorus that makes you wish it lasted just a little longer. But what it lacks in length, it makes up for in vibe, emotion, and straight-up artistry.
Teyana doesn’t just sing — she tells stories, and “Long Time” feels like a page ripped from her real-life journal. With all the headlines surrounding her split from Iman Shumpert, it’s hard not to think this track is touching on some very personal chapters.
And let’s not ignore the tea — her rumored romance with British actor Aaron Pierre has the streets talking, especially since he made an appearance in that steamy Escape Room trailer. If this is a taste of what she’s bringing on the full project, we’re definitely ready for more.
It’s been almost five years since The Album, and this moment feels like the comeback we’ve been waiting on.
Sis has been missed — and she’s clearly got a lot to say.
Quotable Lyrics:
I lent you my fire (Fire)
You let me get tired (Tired)
And the truth is, I didn’t end when it was over (Over)
Baby, it’s been over a long time
Didn’t end whеn it was over (Didn’t end when it was ovеr)
Now the door is closed for closure
