DDG And Kevin Gates Pledge To “Love Myself” In New Music Video

DDG has teamed up with Kevin Gates for the seventh single off of his second studio-album It’s Not Me, It’s You. The track, “Love Yourself” is a wake up call to focus on what needs to be done for self before giving your all to someone else. The Diesel Films-directed video shows Gates and DDG at a mansion with women in bikinis as destruction takes place far into the horizon.

The heavy-bass fused with guitar strings gives the track an easy-going mellow feel. Gates starts off melodically rapping, “Dealin’ with past traumas, patternistic in nature/ Healin’ to break the cycle/ Been a bit commitment shy, but I’m willin’ to make you my love/ You’ve been indecisive lately, I’m willin’ to make your mind up.”

DDG comes in with, “My love come with a career attached, I can’t love everybody/ It don’t cost you a thing to give me a call and tell me you care about me/ I put my ex on and she left me, and now she for everybody/ I can’t let nobody finesse me, I gotta watch everybody,” before singing the chorus of, “Can’t love you ’til I love myself/ Don’t hug me, I’ll hug myself.”
