"To My Bed" is a song by American singer Chris Brown, taken from his eight studio album Heartbreak on a Full Moon. Despite not being released as a single, the song was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
In November 2016, Brown released videos on his Instagram account where he teased snippets of then-unreleased songs, including "Surprise You", "I See You", "To My Bed" and "Classic You".[2] When Brown unveiled Heartbreak on a Full Moon 's initial track listing on May 2, 2017, "To My Bed" was not included on it.[3] On September 10, 2017, the illegal website MusicMafia, leaked "To My Bed", after reaching 500.000 clicks of request for the song following their teaser for it.[4] On October 13, 2017, the song was announced to be included on the album, with its final tracklist being revealed.[5]
"To My Bed" is a "trap-styled" alternative R&B slow-jam, with a "skeletal" production.[6] [7] It contains an interpolation of the 1997 song "Nice & Slow", by Usher.[1] The song's lyrics feature Brown expressing to a girl his sexual desires towards her and how their chemistry would result in them making love even before they get to his bed.[8] Vulture found the track to be part of Heartbreak on a Full Moons "sultry" side.[8] Brown's vocal performance showcases his singing on the majority of the song, switching to his rapping on its last verse.[8] "To My Bed" features screaming background vocals throughout the track.[8]
"To My Bed"'s music video was directed by Brown with Daniel CZ, and was released on July 2, 2018.[9] According to XXL Magazine, the video "draws inspiration from the movie Blade Runner 2049 with its other worldly elements", being located in a "futuristic utopia", with Brown performing "his signature dance moves as he attempts to gain the attention of an elusive love interest".[10] HotNewHipHop praised it, stating that "the highlight of the video is the extraordinary choreography that goes with it".
