"I’m so excited about this! Travis is awesome and Willow... I have to listen to this. Yay!! I love Willow Smith."

@kiddpremeshawty said:

"People forget that her mom was in a metal band so this is pretty cool tbh."

@indyjoneschick commented:

"People forget Jada was part of Ozzfest one year. She rocked out with the metal heads. I'm not into this but maybe Willow is still trying to find her voice. She's trying different things, so good for her."

@lame_lauren wrote:

"Willow already has four great albums with a variety of sounds. Would recommend a listen! Some of my fave songs by her are Marceline, Wait A Minute!, Warm Honey, Overthinking IT, Meet Me At Our Spot... Willow already has a pretty good handle on her ‘voice’."

"I don't know about this track cause I haven’t listened yet, but Willow can actually sing good."

@Skipper6758 added:

"I love Willow Smith’s music. I haven’t heard her new song but I was pleasantly surprised by her voice. She got Prince’s attention. He named her as one of his favourite young artists. That’s what made me check out her music."

In other entertainment news, Briefly News previously reported that Hollywood actor Will Smith’s son Jaden Smith is also a homeowner just like his younger sister Willow.

The 22-year-old purchased a mansion worth $4 million back in 2017 and started living on his own at the age of 18. Just like his parents and sibling, the actor, who also doubles as a musician, settled for luxury and comfort.

His home, located in a gated community tucked within the famous Hidden Hills area, reportedly consists of six bathrooms, five bedrooms and a massive living area. According to Daily Mail, the celebrity’s home was bought back in 2003 through his parents’ trust.
