Osiris Williams was born in Jacksonville, Florida in 1998. Growing up with a passion for old-school soul, classic R&B, and modern pop and rap sounds, he started making music of his own at a young age. He first uploaded songs under the name Osiris, posting his single, "Fake Love," in 2017 before taking on the YK Osiris moniker for future productions. "I'm Next (Freestyle)" was released in January of 2018, quickly going viral and collecting millions of streams. The buzz around the young rapper began to draw attention from the record industry and this interest was further stoked by the release of his next single, "Valentine," two months later. "Valentine" was an even bigger hit, amassing over nine million streams within several weeks of its release. A remix version of the song featuring a cameo from Li'l Uzi Vert appeared shortly thereafter, and YK Osiris fielded offers from various labels, eventually signing with Def Jam. His single "Timing" was released in July of 2018, followed by "Run It Up" and the Big40 collaboration "Ride 4 Me." In early 2019, he entered the Billboard Hot 100 with "Worth It." That song, along with another single, "Shakira," later appeared on Osiris' debut album, The Golden Child, in October of that year.

YK Osiris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where you at? What you doin'? You ain't seen it yet
I'm seein' blue, blue, blue, baby, that's a bag, uh
Call you one time, 'cause I gotta check, ooh-ooh
How you not gon' answer? Postin' on your Insta'
Baby, where your manners? Don't you know I hit ya? Ayy
Silence ain't that good, ain't talkin' more expensive
You act like I ain't worthy of no second chances
Oh, you mad-mad, huh?
That's what you best at, huh?
Girl, it's only midnight, oh-oh

Sayin' that I'm talkin' to my exes
You ain't gotta, leave me on read
I'm stressin', actin' like you didn't get the message
Sayin' that I'm talkin' to my exes
You ain't gotta, leave me on read

YK Osiris's song "Leave Me On Read" talks about the struggles of communication in a relationship. The rapper begins by expressing his frustration over not receiving a response to his double text, wondering where his partner is and what she's doing. He mentions seeing blue, possibly referencing iMessage, as he's waiting for a response. YK Osiris then calls his partner once, trying to check on her. However, he receives no response, and she's instead posting on Instagram. He expresses his disappointment, questioning her manners and telling her that silence isn't always a good thing.
As the song continues, YK Osiris becomes increasingly agitated, accusing his partner of flexing and acting like she didn't get his message. He also denies talking to his exes, a subject that his partner brought up, indicating a lack of trust in the relationship. The rapper also mentions that his partner is around her friends and just wants attention, implying that she's neglecting him. Despite his efforts, he hasn't been able to make her listen to him, leading to frustration and stress.
Overall, "Leave Me On Read" can be seen as an expression of YK Osiris's insecurities and the difficulties of maintaining communication in a relationship, specifically in the digital age. The song's title represents the feeling of being ignored or dismissed by one's partner, leaving the other person feeling unwanted and frustrated. It also sheds light on the importance of respect and honesty in a relationship, as both partners need to communicate openly and honestly to build a strong and healthy connection.
