Bobby Brown has debuted his new single, “Don’t Let Me Die,” as a tribute to his ex-wife, Whitney Houston, who passed away on February 11, 2012.
Brown’s single, which he performed on Jay Leno’s show, includes the lyrics:
“I guess I messed up pretty bad … I didn’t know who you were … I didn’t know what we had. Now I’m stuck living in the past … trying to get the pieces back … but I guess now you’re gone.”
Bobby Brown has only opened up a couple of times about his late ex-wife, who died of an accidental drug overdose in a Hollywood hotel.
MTV reports that the new single by Brown portrays his feelings since Houston’s death, singing about things that went wrong in their relationship, and reminiscing that:
“I didn’t realize that every breath I took was from you…You were my air.”
TMZ reports that Bobby Brown’s new song will be featured on the upcoming album, The Masterpiece , which is set to debut on June 5th. This will be his first album since Forever , which debuted in 1997.
According to The Washington Post, Brown reportedly stated that the new album is:
“It’s what I’ve been through throughout my life, and just trying to heal myself through my music.”
Th 43-year old singer believes that this new album is his best so far. He also says:
“But I’m going to do better in the near future. I just want to get back to what I do, which is entertainment, and this is the start to me getting back to what I want to do.”
Bobby Brown attributed his long absence in music production as taking time to figure himself out, and to straighten himself out. He stated that:
“When you’re working on yourself, you have to really concentrate on working on yourself and it takes a back seat to what you want to do and what I’m gonna do”
