Dancehall singer Shenseea has released another single from her upcoming debut album Alpha scheduled for March 11.
The single titled “Deserve It” had fans calling for its release since Shenseea teased it a few months ago.
This is the 5th single from her Rich Immigrants/Interscope debut. “Run Run” which was the first announced track on Alpha 7 months ago is not listed on the official track list.
On Deserve It She sings:
Mi love how yuh deal wid me (Love how yuh dweet)
Mi love yuh touch, how you feel on me (Ooh)
You make me feel so welcome
And you so damn handsome (Ah, yeah)
I can see it by the look in your eyes (Uh, uh)
I can see you down to ride (Uh, uh)
Mi know you’ll go the extra mile for me
I know you do anything fi put a smile on me, eh
You put me first everytime (Everytime)
Put the pussy in the hearse everytime (Ooh)
I know I can be the worst sometimes
But yuh still give me all your time
And I appreciate that
And I won’t forget that
No, mi nah figet that (Ooh, ooh)
No, no, baby, no, mi nah figet that
Some fans on social media are calling Deserve It “a whole bop”, while others are urging the singer to return to her roots.

Her previous single “Lick” with Megan Thee Stallion received backlash on social media and in the press after industry players and fans alike have said the song sounded too much like Stallion’s previous hit WAP with Cardi B.
Minister Marion Hall formerly Lady Saw came out guns blazing with criticism online as she condemned the artistic paths of Spice, Shenseea and Jada Kingdom in a lengthy sermon on last Sunday.
The Minister revealed that she was compelled by God to speak up about the matter, as she singled Shenseea, “Shenseea yuh born look good, you never need anything else. What’s wrong with you!”
International DJ Duo Alric and Boyd also sent her a warning not to leave her roots. “Shenseea don’t leave you roots, do not leave your roots, because its your roots got you there”, they said at an event held at the US Embassy last week dubbed “Star Spangled Sit Down” hosted by media personality Debbie Bissoon.
Patricia Meschino, writer for Billboard Magazine and Rolling Stone also said,
“Its almost like she is dumbing down her skills for this acceptance that may never come and its like why would you want to dumb down yout talents, shine as brightly as you can, part of that shining is to be authentic and be who you are, again experiment, a little bit here and here sure, like any artist wants to do that should do it but i feel like sombody is in her ear telling her you have to do this to break bigger and there is no guaratee by doing this that you gonna break anyway.”
Shenseea seems unconcerned with the criticism however, as she presses on with Deserve It.
The Rebel singer makes her late night Tv debut on Jimmy Kimmel tonight.
