"You Stay" is a song by American record producer DJ Khaled, featuring guest vocals from Colombian singer J Balvin and American musicians Meek Mill, Lil Baby, and Jeremih. Released on May 17, 2019, it is the fifth single from Khaled's eleventh studio album Father of Asahd (2019).[1]

Composition

The song samples "No Me Conviene" by Puerto Rican singer India and interpolates "Señorita" by American rapper Puff Daddy, which also samples the song.[2] Jeremih sings the hook and a verse, with Meek Mill, Lil Baby and J Balvin provide verses.[3] Lyrically, they ask women why they are still loyal to them when their significant other has not treated them well.[2]

Music video

A music video for the song was released on May 18, 2019.[4] It was directed by DJ Khaled, Eif Rivera, and Ivan Berrios, and shows a party at Khaled's mansion in Miami, where the artists hang out surrounded by women.[5][6] The artists are shown "strutting through the home's marble floors, poolside, and courtyard, all wearing an assortment of colorful suits."[3] The video features a cameo from Turkish butcher Salt Bae, who launches a slice of meat into Khaled's mouth.[3][6]
