An unreleased duet between Chris Brown and Rihanna just leaked and it’s, well, kind of icky. The song is called “Put It Up,” and it’s rumored to be a leftover from Brown’s last album, recorded circa 2013. Chris teased the song over two years ago, telling MTV the track was “youthful and at the same time sexy.” He was certainly right about the sex part.
Aside from the blatant display of PDA, this song also elicits the feels for an entirely different reason: It’s another disturbing reminder of their troubled relationship. It was hard enough for many of Rihanna’s fans to stomach the singers’ reconciliation, and now this song is like audio evidence of the tragedy. Lyrics like “Your property, treat me like I’m your property/ Do what you wanna, take command” are a whole lot heavier when they’re coming from these two.
