“Wait for U” is a standout R&B single by Future, featuring Drake and Tems, released on May 3, 2022, under Freebandz / Epic Records. It’s the second single from Future’s ninth studio album, I Never Liked You.
The track samples Tems’ song “Higher” from her 2020 EP For Broken Ears, with writing credits including Future, Drake, Tems, ATL Jacob, FnZ, Tejiri Akpoghene, and others. Lyrically it explores the painful cycle of toxic relationships — the guilt, the waiting, the vulnerability — with Tems’ vocals setting the tone, Future bringing heartache, and Drake delivering introspective reflection.
Commercially, “Wait for U” debuted at #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100, making it Future’s second Hot 100 leader, Drake’s tenth, and Tems’ first ever No. 1. It won the Grammy for Best Melodic Rap Performance and has racked up serious streaming numbers globally. Fans can stream it across all major platforms, and look out for the mp3 download through official digital outlets.
