The track premiered on Beats 1 and was released on November 15, 2018. It is set to be included on Normani’s debut album 713. BackgroundNormani originally performed the song without 6lack at a Tidal X concert in Brooklyn on October 23, 2018. Billboard reported on the performance, calling it "slow-churning" and its hook "intoxicating".[1] Covering the concert, Paper called the song an upcoming single in October.[2] The singer announced the song on Twitter and shared its cover art on November 14.[3] "Waves" premiered on Beats 1 and was released as a single on November 15.[4] Normani explained to Zane Lowe on Beats 1 why she chose to work with 6lack: {{Quote|text=He's an amazing lyricist, and I feel like he took the record to a whole other level. I already love the record as is, but he totally exceeded any expectation I even had, which was pretty high, because I admire him as an artist.[5]}}On February 9, 2019, Normani posted a teaser of the music video on social media, announcing that it will premiere on February 12. The single will appear on her debut album, which is scheduled to be released at the beginning of 2019.[6] CompositionMusically, 'Waves" is an "alluring and hypnotic" R&B slow jam.[7] The song opens with "atmospheric" synths, before being met with skittering percussion and throbbing bass bombs."[8] Lyrically, Normani refers to a relationship she finds herself going back to on the song, singing "When I have you, wanna leave you/If you're gone, that's when I need you."[1] Originally, the pre-chorus for the single, as well as some lyrics, were different, however it was changed once 6lack began working on the single.[8] Critical receptionJon Blistein of Rolling Stone called the track a "brooding break-up song", saying that Normani and 6lack both give "deft vocal performances".[9] Rap-Up called the single a "seductive jam."[10] Brittany Spanos, also writing for Rolling Stone, called the single "worthy of the type of star Normani sees herself as and wants to be."[7] Music videoThe music video was released on February 12, 2019, and was directed by Emil Nava.[11] The video's opening sequence features Normani waking up on a deserted planet next to a white Beats Pill. She performs in various dance sequences in a sheer body suit and slicked-back bun, accompanied by dancers wearing identical costumes. The video is also intercut with scenes of her caressing a starry silhouette on a diving board in the sky, lying on a mattress floating on the surface of a dark ocean, floating underwater, and disappearing into a star field. 6LACK then appears on the surface of the Moon as he and Normani embrace while shooting stars fly past. The video ends with them holding hands as they lie on mattress floating in the middle of a submerged crater as the camera zooms out. Caitlyn Becker writing for the Daily Mail, described the video as "out of this world" and praised the choreography as "sultry and at times robotic".[12] James Dinh for IHeartRadio described the collaboration as "brooding", adding that the clip feels "psychedelic" and "worth the wait".[13] PersonnelAdapted from Tidal.[14]
