Lil Tjay taps back into emotion on 'Used 2 Love'

Lil Tjay looks ready to reclaim his footing, and his new single 'Used 2 Love' feels like a step in the right direction. After a rapid rise that once placed him at the center of the mainstream conversation, the Bronx artist has spent recent years quieter than fans expected. Now, he’s signalling a potential comeback by returning to the sound that first connected him with listeners.

'Used 2 Love' finds Tjay at his most vulnerable, leaning into heartfelt emotion over a mellow, somber instrumental. The track plays like a late-night confession, built around reflection, love, and loss. It’s soft, melodic, and intentionally restrained, allowing the emotion to carry the record rather than chasing radio appeal.

For longtime fans, this is the version of Lil Tjay they’ve been waiting to hear again. Whether the new drop marks the start of a full resurgence remains to be seen, but it’s a promising reminder of what he does best when he leans into honesty and feeling.
