Kehlani is gearing up to release a new project While We Wait this month and today, she comes through with her new single, "Butterfly." The track serves as the second single off of the project following "Nights Like This" with fellow West Coast crooner, Ty Dolla $ign. Kehlani serves up a smooth, late-night vibe on "Butterfly." The production is simply carried by a guitar lick with a muffled vocal sample sitting in the background while Kehlani shows a softer side before closing things out with a spoken word-type piece.

The release of her new track comes shortly after winning a Grammy for her contributions to Cardi B's Invasion Of Privacy. Her new project is set to drop on Feb 22nd and features appearances from Dom Kennedy, Musiq Soulchild, 6lack, and Ty Dolla $ign.

Peep the tracklist below.

1. Footsteps ft. Musiq Soulchild
2. Too Deep
3. Nunya ft. Dom Kennedy
4. Morning Glory
5. Feels
6. Nights Like This ft. Ty Dolla $ign

9. Love Language

Quotable Lyrics
I see you duck and dodge at every bend
Afraid to play your card, be forced to show your hand
I hope you take from this that it'll make you no less of a man
To break your walls and simply grab my hand
