In “To My Bed,” Chris Brown sings about being with his lover and how they won't make it to the bed. The song tells a story about a couple who can't keep their hands off of each other, indulging in passionate escapades on the floor, the staircase, and everywhere else in the house. The song starts with Brown commanding his partner to close the door and take off her clothes where she is. He likes to see her glowing and can tell it's good by the way she walks. Brown then proceeds to touch and pull his lover, expressing his pleasure in feeling her come down. However, the mattress seems too far away, and Brown's clock is watching, so there is no time to waste. Brown's hands are already down his partner's waist, and he asks her to show him that she wants it right away. He then sings about how he will freak her right, using his foreign skills, and then expresses that they might not make it to his bed, but it doesn't matter. The song continues with Brown describing how they are speeding, eating up, and getting high while doing the most on the floor. He concludes the song singing about how they are "tearing up the sheets."

I'm not sure if a lot of people really understand how gifted this dude is..He is yet to do a song that I don't like. He can sing. He can write songs. Best dancer right now as far as I'm concerned. He can act. And he can create wicked visual art. I think if he didn't have that cloud over his head that a lot can't move on from, people would really see a new King of R&B
Fina Cooper
What cloud?
the_weeknd_is superior
@Fina Cooper That HUGE Rihanna cloud. Ya know the one where he could've potentially ruined his career and life. The one where he abused Ri Ri. All girls are important and none deserve to be abused but Rihanna and Beyonce are basically huge no nos unless you wanna ruin your career. You mess with Beyonce or Rihanna you got the whole world coming after you. If he didn't do that one mistake he would have a ton more fans than he already does
tiffany devins
Wys!
Stoopid Ali
Shawn Nwahs I understand where you’re coming from I’m not done CB Stan or trying to defend abuse. Buuut Rihanna did start the fight and hit, scratches and pulled his area. Soo they’re both in the wrong, yess Ik how he hit Rihanna was worse but this double standard thing should stop
Michael Hennis
Chris is the king of R&B. Would love to hear about any competition he has in that department.
