Canadian rapper Nav has once again tapped producer extraordinaire Metro Boomin for “REAL ME,” his first offering of 2025.

Over Metro’s warbled, dream-like production, “REAL ME” sees Nav’s playboy facade fall to reveal his vulnerability as he says, “Girl, don’t you ever leave me alone.”

The accompanying video features vignettes of women-filled house parties, walls covered in Nav’s lyrics, and surreal shots of him with women, morphed into stunning collages and unfamiliar shapes.

The track arrives eight years after Nav and Metro’s collaborative mixtape, Perfect Timing, featuring Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, Offset, 21 Savage, Gucci Mane and more.

“REAL ME” is also the latest peek at the XO signee’s first album in three years, OMW2 Rexdale, which refers to a Toronto neighborhood. The album arrives March 28, and you can preorder it here.
