Megan Thee Stallion has revealed the release date for her highly anticipated single, “Lover Girl,” set to drop on October 24, 2023. The announcement came through her Instagram account, where she shared a vibrant teaser featuring a red, heart-shaped lollipop emblazoned with the release date. This new track follows a series of social media teasers that have heightened excitement among her fans.
The song prominently samples Total’s 1996 R&B hit, “Kissin’ You.” In “Lover Girl,” Megan raps lines that reflect her personal life, including: “My man, my man, my man, my baby, my baby / D**kin’ me down, spoiling me, driving me crazy.” Many fans speculate that the lyrics are inspired by her current boyfriend, Klay Thompson, the NBA star for the Dallas Mavericks.
Fan Reactions and Relationship Insights
In her announcement post, Megan expressed her enthusiasm simply with the caption: “LOVER GIRL FRIDAY.” Fans quickly took to the comments section to share their excitement. One user exclaimed, “GIRL FINALLY!! WHAT THE HECK?!?” while another commented, “Yay! I don’t even have a man tho, but who cares! We streaming.” The buzz surrounding the song is palpable, especially with references to Klay Thompson appearing frequently in the dialogues.
Megan and Thompson confirmed their relationship in July, making their red carpet debut together at the Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York. During the event, Megan spoke candidly about her feelings for Thompson, stating, “This is my first relationship where I’ve ever been with somebody who’s genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy.” She added that she appreciates the authenticity of their connection, emphasizing, “I just never dated somebody like him before, and I’m just grateful that he’s here by my side and he feels the same way about me.”
Upcoming Projects and Future Plans
Alongside the excitement for “Lover Girl,” Megan is also working on her third studio album, which fans eagerly anticipate. She confirmed the album’s progress during a TikTok Live session back in March, stating, “Y’all know I don’t give away too much stuff about my music, but ACT III is being made.” At that time, she mentioned her focus on selecting potential features for the project, hinting at a thoughtful and collaborative approach to her upcoming music.
With “Lover Girl” poised for release, fans can expect a blend of Megan’s signature style and personal narratives, further solidifying her place in the contemporary music landscape. As the release date approaches, interest in both the single and her evolving relationship with Thompson continues to resonate deeply with her audience.
