Ahead of the release of his upcoming album Better Me Than You, Big Sean dropped off a loosie on SoundCloud, and he sounds confident as he sets things off on the Kanye-produced track with lines such as “We in this b—h, back focused, right?/F—k that overnight success, I want it over life? I’m overseein’ what I’m seein’, f—k a oversight/ From the other side of the screen like a poltergeist/ I’m in this b—h, droppin’ gems like I’m off the heist/ They had to name they son Sean ’cause the boy that bright.”
“Fighting Fires” is essentially a different version of Ye (formerly Kanye West) and Ty Dolla $ign‘s Vultures 2 song “My Soul.” The Detroit rapper teased the song in July on Instagram Live and even stated it could end up on his former label boss’ album.

During the same IG Live session, the Detroit rapper shared he has dealt with mental health issues and second guessing decisions when it comes to this project. “I’ve been having a hard f—king time, dawg, I’m not gon’ lie,” he said. “Been in this b—h trying to finish a album, and I’m kinda tired of overthinking it. … And, by the way, n—a, like me, I’ve been trying to be on some sober s–t so a n—a out here raw-dogging his emotions, bro.”
As his release date gets closer, Sean revealed that he’s been doing too much overthinking as he held back tears. “I am a chronic overthinker,” he said during an emotional Instagram Live earlier this week. “I’m a chronic, constant worker. And I’ve been having a hard time lately, straight up. It’s not been easy … But it’s worth it. The whole concept of the album, though, is like Better Me Than You. So, it’s like when you go through your s—t, it’s like you the one that can handle it… ’cause it gets hard. Your faith gets tested, for sure.”
He credited his mom for helping restore his confidence. “When me and Jhené [Aiko] were giving our son a bath last night, my mom called me and she was just giving me them words,” he said. “And I was just like, ‘Look, I can keep working and make it exactly how I want it and I’ll be pushing it back forever. Or I can believe in the fire-a– work that I got right now and that’s what I’ma do. I appreciate my mom for being that guardian angel and always giving me that advice. She really talked me through it, for real.”
