Skylar Simone delivers versatility and vocal brilliance on her new tracks “What’s In It 4 Me” and “Do U Ever.”

Sometimes, we overcomplicate the process of recognizing greatness — and Skylar Simone is the perfect reminder of that. It only takes a couple of minutes of listening to realize she has “It.” Her voice carries emotion with ease, her songwriting feels lived-in and relatable, and her charisma makes every performance shine. With her latest dual release, “What’s In It 4 Me” and “Do U Ever,” Skylar continues to prove she’s one of the most promising artists rising right now.

“What’s In It 4 Me” flips the classic “Give It To Me” beat from Busta Rhymes into something fresh and funkier. Skylar floats over the instrumental with a sensual yet confident energy, her vocals weaving effortlessly between soft coos and bold high notes. Lyrically, she plays with themes of attraction and control, asking the ever-relevant question — what’s really in it for me? The Mariah Carey interpolation she slides in is both clever and nostalgic, showing her ability to honor influences while still keeping her sound uniquely her own.

Meanwhile, “Do U Ever” slows the pace but keeps the emotional intensity. With its quirky, fast-paced production and Skylar’s dynamic range, the track feels intimate yet energetic. She questions whether that special someone ever thinks of her when they’re apart, capturing a universal mix of vulnerability and longing. Her melodies glide effortlessly, turning introspection into pure ear candy.

Altogether, these two tracks show why major outlets like BILLBOARD, GALORE, and VARIETY are paying close attention to Skylar Simone. Stream “What’s In It 4 Me” and “Do U Ever” below and see why Skylar Simone’s moment is only just beginning.
