In the realm of music, it is not uncommon to see children take over their parent’s legacy. After all, that has been the case for many great artists. One of them is Willow Smith, the daughter of the ‘Getting Jiggy With It’ icon, Will Smith. Although she has since broken out of her father’s gigantic musical shadow, the singer stunned her fans with her 16-month-long break from creating new music.

Even though the world will forever have her debut song, ‘Whip My Hair’, stuck in their heads, she has released multiple other hits after that. In fact, she might be replacing all of those catchy tunes with a new track soon.

Willow Smith is no stranger to the world of music. After all, she has been a part of it since she was just 10 years old. However, after putting out her 5th studio album, the singer took some time off to focus on herself. Now, over a year after her last musical endeavor, she unveiled her plans for an upcoming single. She took to her Instagram to give her 11.3 million followers a peek at her collaboration with music producer and singer Eddie Benjamin.

The post was a carousel that was filled with videos of the two in the studio working on a new track. Willow Smith even captioned the “BIG GRATITUDE to @eddiebenjamin for putting up with my shenanigans.” She also revealed that he had played “damn near every instrument in the studio” to bring their collaboration to life. The single is set to release on November 3rd, which is only days away.
