Lyrics of wrong faces. by Brent Faiyaz
[Chorus]
You’ve Been Looking for Love
In All the Wrong, the Wrong Places (oh, Yeah, Yeah-yeah)
You’ve Been Looking for Love
In All the Wrong, the Wrong Faces
[Verse 1]
Ain’t No Way Out
I Know That You’re Searchin’ for Mine
You Like to Stay Out
Think About Who You’re Hurtin’ for Months (oh-woah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Who Brought You to Me?
Give Me a Reason ’cause I’ll Be Your Reason to Stay at Home (oh-woah, Yeah-yeah)
Who Brought You to Me?
Give Me a Reason ’cause I’ll Be Your Reason, You’re Not Alone
[Chorus]
You’ve Been Looking for Love (mhm)
In All the Wrong, the Wrong Places (oh, Yeah, Yeah-yeah)
You’ve Been Looking for Love
In All the Wrong (in All the Wrong), the Wrong Faces
[Verse 2]
Maybe You’ll Figure It Out
Lately Our Heads in the Clouds
I Wish I Could Lay You Down
But Maybe You Wouldn’t Be Down
We’re Going Backwards
Even Though You Know That Hurts
Promise, This Ain’t Just Your Words
You Live and You Learn (oh, Oh-woah; It’ll All Make Sense)
[Pre-Chorus]
Who Brought You to Me?
Give Me a Reason ’cause I’ll Be Your Reason to Stay at Home (oh-woah, Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Who Brought You to Me?
Give Me a Reason ’cause I’ll Be Your Reason, You’re Not Alone
[Chorus]
You’ve Been Looking for Love (mhm)
In All the Wrong, the Wrong Places (oh, Yeah, Yeah-yeah)
You’ve Been Looking for Love
In All the Wrong (in All the Wrong), the Wrong Faces
About “wrong faces. by Brent Faiyaz”
Brent circles the same ache in every hook, his voice low and steady, reminding you how easy it is to chase shadows instead of the real thing.
The song builds around that core idea of misplaced affection, flipping between gentle advice and personal longing. The chorus hits repetitive and catchy, drilling in the message that love keeps getting rerouted to dead ends. Mood-wise, it’s introspective R&B at its core—melancholic but not defeated, with a subtle groove that keeps it moving. Production from Mathaius Young keeps things minimal yet layered, letting Brent’s vocals breathe over soft keys and understated drums. It’s the kind of sound that feels intimate, like a one-on-one conversation in dim light.
Icon feels like Brent’s most deliberate statement yet, a ten-track meditation on legacy, relationships, and self-worth. Executive produced by Raphael Saadiq, the album pulls in a range of producers including Tommy Richman and Chad Hugo, blending classic soul influences with modern edge. After teasing fans with singles like “Have To” (which topped R&B charts) and earlier promo tracks that didn’t make the cut, this version of Icon strips back to what’s essential. The vision seems centered on timeless themes—fame’s isolation, love’s missteps—delivered with the polish of someone who’s spent years honing his craft.
The album lands February 13, 2026, via ISO Supremacy and UnitedMasters, right in time for Valentine’s weekend vibes. Pre-save is live on Spotify, and the trailer Brent dropped gives a cinematic tease of what’s coming. No big features announced beyond what’s subtle, but the focus stays on Brent carrying the weight. Fans have been waiting since the September 2025 delay—he pulled the plug last minute back then—but now the date looks locked in.
Brent’s career keeps evolving without losing that magnetic pull. Post-Wasteland and Larger Than Life, he’s in a phase where he’s owning his space as an R&B auteur, experimenting with production while staying true to emotional rawness. “Wrong Faces” fits right in as a standout moment on Icon, showing his growth in turning vulnerability into something sleek and replayable. It adds another layer to his discography, proving he can still surprise while building on what made him stand out.
