Popcaan’s “Firm & Strong” Plays During Lesbian Scene on Power Book IV: Force

Popcaan’s “Firm & Strong” was placed on the score for the third episode of season 1 in the Starz Cable Network’s Power Book IV: Force. The show which premiered on the Starz app and Starz network on February 6, is the third spin-off to Power Produced 50 Cent and created by Courtney Kemp.

Popcaan’s Firm And Strong appears in Saturday’s episode playing in the background of a closing scene sequence where two women kissed while naked in bed, then the scene cuts to Tommy atop a roof, reading a text message from Gloria.

Social media reacted immediately to hearing the dancehall track during the scene sequence.

In today’s episode of @ForceStarz, @PopcaanMusic’s 2018 single “Firm & Strong” is part of the episode’s score. It’s so cool to see dancehall getting placements in shows and in scenes (inclusive but also) transcending Jamaica. Dancehall is a score for everyday life. #PowerForce pic.twitter.com/eLDdoPHVa6

When Popcaan "Firm & Strong" started playing in Force tonight the Jamaican jumped right out of me. Lone Bap! Bap! Bap! I don't think we realize how International Popcaan is. I love the love Jamaica is getting in this series 🇯🇲 #PowerForce #PowerTV #powerbook4 #PowerGhost pic.twitter.com/ulMMayP71D

^{Firm And Strong was first released in 2018 as a lead single on Popcaan’s Forever Lp produced by Dre Skull. He then released a music video in 2019 which was his first visual after signing to Drake’s Ovo Sounds.} 

^{The 20 Voice Choir featured in the song are known as the “Blessed Choir” produced by Ken Lewis and Directed by Alvin Fields. This is the same choir that appear on Kanye West’s On Sight on the Yeezus Album, Drake’s song “Lord Knows”, and various tracks on J. Cole’s sophomore album “Born Sinners”. Per Genius.}

Popcaan told Billboard Magazine that song, “Firm and Strong,” is just [about] things I’m going through in the industry. I was in a mood, so I just sang it and freed my mind. A lot of people don’t like to see somebody else striving. So you have to not pay attention and give that less energy. So the more positive thoughts you keep in your mind … that’s why I just try to block negative thoughts in my mind.”

Popcaan announced the name of his upcoming album recently while on tour on Ghana.
