What is the name of Muni Long’s new album?

Muni Long’s second album is titled Revenge. She first revealed the track in an interview with Bru from Audacy and has since shared it during her performance at Chris Brown’s 11:11 leadthat supports them.

What is the meaning behind Revenge?

Revenge is more than what people expect from the title. In an interview with Audacys Bru, Muni Long explained what her second album, Revenge, represented.

“When you think of revenge, you think, ‘Oh, I’m going to get you,’ but in my world, the best revenge is success, and continuing to show up and continuing to win and living my best life. That’s what this album is about,” Long noted.

She added: “The idea behind it is a series of relationship songs. I have a song about my best friend, songs about my relationship with cars and stuff like that.”

Which songs are on Revenge?

“Made For Me” was released on September 15, 2023 as the first single from Revenge. The heartwarming ballad, produced by Bryan-Michael Cox and Jermaine Dupri, has since been certified platinum by the RIAA for selling over one million copies. It also peaked at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent 13 weeks at number one on the R&B Digital Song Sales chart.

In an interview with Genius, Long shared the story behind the creation of “Made For Me” and also talked about how the production evolved after she hired Cox and Dupri.

“I started ‘Made for Me’ at home with Jelli (Dorman), one of the engineers I work with. It was just piano (and a) vocal,” Long said. “So we took it to JD and Brian-Michael Cox, and they actually produced the record. JD was like, ‘I’m telling you, I’m telling you, this record is a monster.'”

On January 17, Long released the official music video for “Made For Me,” which also stars R&B singer and actor Luke James.

“I wanted to have fun with this video and really think outside the box. It’s my little nod to AI mixed with Frankenstein,” Long explained. “If you want to find the perfect person in a limited dating pool, maybe you just have to create them! Right now, that’s just science fiction, but given the speed at which technology is changing, could that be our reality one day?”

On May 21, Long released her “Made For Me (Remix)” featuring Mariah Carey. “When I got the call from JD to collaborate on the ‘Made For Me’ remix, I immediately said yes,” Carey said. “Muni is an amazing songwriter and artist, and this collaboration is a match made in heaven!”

It’s worth noting that Long has not confirmed whether the remix will appear on her new album.

“Make Me Forget”, the second single from Revenge, was released on May 31. The song, which interpolates D’Angelo’s classic “Untitled (How Does It Feel)”, was produced by Tricky Stewart, MOMBRU and Jehreeus.

Regarding “Make Me Forget,” Long said: “For me, it’s like a warm bath. It’s a love letter. It says, ‘You’re not perfect. We have a lot of things to work on, but can we focus on the great feeling we have when we’re together?'”

Although only two singles have been released so far, Long has released more music from Revenge during her performance at Chris Brown’s 11:11 lead.

Long’s setlist includes two unreleased tracks from her new album, including the heartbreaking “Ruined Me.” Long sings, “After you / I’ll probably never love again / This kind of heartbreak never ends / Baby, you ruined me.”
