kwn - "worst behaviour" ft. Kehlani: A Sultry R&B Masterpiece That Ignites the Senses

If you’re craving a track that blends raw passion with slick production, look no further than "worst behaviour" by rising East London R&B star kwn, featuring the inimitable Kehlani. Released on February 14, 2025, as a remix to kwn’s original November 2024 single, this collaboration is a steamy, unapologetic anthem that’s been lighting up playlists and turning heads ever since. With over 6 million streams already on Spotify for the original and a remix that’s quickly gaining traction, "worst behaviour" is proving to be a defining moment for both artists and for good reason.

The track kicks off with kwn’s bold, confident energy: “Shit, I pulled up unexpected, she’s excited / Skin-tight dress, take your guess, I’m finna swipe it.” Her verses paint a vivid picture of spontaneity and desire, setting the stage for a night that defies all plans and expectations. The minimalist beat, laced with dark trap undertones and a pulsating bassline, keeps things hypnotic yet restrained, letting kwn’s soulful delivery shine. Then enters Kehlani, whose verse “Keep drivin’ / One hand on the wheel and one inside it”—adds a layer of silky seduction and playful dominance that perfectly complements kwn’s vibe. Their voices weave together seamlessly, especially in the explosive chorus: “Need you on your worst behaviour,” a line that’s both a demand and an invitation to let loose.

The music video, directed by Chris Chance and shot in London, takes the song’s energy to another level. Set in an eerie, industrial garage, kwn rocks a leather jacket and jeans, exuding confidence next to a sleek car, while the tension builds to a jaw-dropping 30-second kiss that seals the deal. It’s bold, it’s cinematic, and it perfectly captures the track’s themes of uninhibited intimacy and primal urges. As kwn shared, the remix wasn’t even planned—Kehlani suggested it, and the rest was history. That organic spark shines through every second of this release.

For kwn, an independent artist from Walthamstow who’s been carving her own path since parting ways with Black Butter Records, "worst behaviour" is a testament to her growing artistry. After collaborating with Kehlani on "Clothes Off" from While We Wait 2, she’s back with a track that feels like a victory lap—a statement of identity and ambition. Kehlani, fresh off Grammy nominations for After Hours and her work with Jordan Adetunji, brings her A-game, proving once again why she’s a force in modern R&B.
