After dropping “Whenever” in April, Megan Thee Stallion has shared her second solo single of the year. “Lover Girl” features a prominent sample of “Kissin’ You,” the 1996 R&B hit by Bad Boy Records girl group Total.
Megan Thee Stallion shared her last studio album, Megan, in 2024, following it up with the deluxe expansion Act II a few months later. In January, the Houston rapper was granted a restraining order against Tory Lanez, who is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence after being found guilty of shooting her. Lanez was stabbed in prison in May, prompting Megan to share a new statement calling out further online harassment she had subsequently received.
