BOTHER ME Lyrics – Tommy Richman (feat. Brent Faiyaz)

Tommy Richman teams up with his mentor Brent Faiyaz on Bother Me, the slick standout from his new project Worlds Apart, out today November 21, 2025, via ISO Supremacy/PULSE Records, and it slinks in like a late-night confession you didn’t plan on making, all smooth grooves and that push-pull of wanting space but craving the chaos.

Tommy’s been on this wild ride since Million Dollar Baby blew everything wide open last year, and linking back with Brent—who signed him and put him on Upset—feels like coming full circle. The track’s got that hazy alt-R&B vibe he’s mastered, funky basslines under Tommy’s falsetto flips, with Brent sliding in on the second verse like the cool voice of reason who’s been there. It’s about those early morning regrets, scraping by on minimum wage memories from Sheraton Drive, and realizing you kinda want someone to shake you out of your head, even if it hurts. They cooked it up quick in the studio, keeping it raw with no overthinking, just two DMV guys trading truths over a beat that nods to old-school funk without forcing it.

Worlds Apart is a tight eight-track vibe, clocking in at 20 minutes of Tommy stretching further into his pocket—introspective openers bleeding into these moody collaborations that show he’s not chasing the viral wave anymore, he’s building something that lasts. Brent’s feature anchors the middle, bridging the solo cuts that dig into isolation and the ones that flex a little harder. The whole thing’s got that post-Coyote glow, less about proving the hype and more about settling into his sound. Stream it everywhere now, or hit the pre-save if you’re catching up—it’s the kind of short listen you loop twice before bed.

Tommy’s in a strong place right now, headlining spots that sold out fast and turning skeptics into fans one funky hook at a time. At 25, with Brent’s guidance still in the mix, this feels like him owning the awkward in-between of fame without losing the edge that got him here.

X warmed up quick with the video drop yesterday, folks clipping Brent’s verse over rainy drive clips and calling it the collab we waited a year for. If Coyote was the arrival, this one’s the quiet confidence that follows.
