The Worst

The Worst

Jhené Aiko

From the “Sail Out” EP, this song was released January 14, 2014 as the album’s second official single through ARTium and Def Jam Recordings. It offers a sample of the 2003 single “Excuse Me Miss” by Jay Z.

The song’s lyrics explore Aiko’s regret towards falling in love with someone not right for her. It peaked at #43 on the Billboard Hot 100. The accompanying video directed by Danny Williams depicts the aftermath of the murder of Aiko’s boyfriend (presumably because of his mistreatment of her described in the song).
