"Loyal" is a song by American singer Chris Brown, released as the fourth single from his sixth studio album X (2014). The song was produced by Nic Nac and features a guest appearance from fellow rapper Lil Wayne and another rapper depending on the version. French Montana and Too Short feature on the East and West Coast version while Tyga features on the video and album version. "Loyal" has since peaked at number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song was promoted with performances by Brown and Lil Wayne at the BET Awards 2014, Summer Jam, 2014 Soul Train Music Awards, and the The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. This also marks the fifth Chris Brown and Lil Wayne collaboration and the second Chris Brown and Tyga collaboration.
On December 16, 2013, the audio to the song was premiered online. The song was originally released in two versions, an East Coast version and a West Coast version. Both versions feature Chris Brown and Lil Wayne, while the East Coast version features French Montana and the West Coast version features Too Short. Then on December 19, both versions of the song were released as digital downloads. It would be the fourth single released from his sixth studio album X.
"Loyal" is a single by New Zealand singer/songwriter Dave Dobbyn, released in 1988 from the album of the same name. The song reached number 19 on the New Zealand charts and has since become a cult song for the nation.
Dobbyn wrote the song in Sydney, with the opening harmonic progression coming about from playing with a newly bought guitar. He co-produced the single, and in retrospect is not entirely happy with the result, preferring live versions such as that from the Together in Concert: Live tour with Bic Runga and Tim Finn.
The music video for Loyal was directed by Kerry Brown and is a one-shot video of Dobbyn and a woman moving out of a house. It was met with mixed reception and there is some argument about the appropriateness of the imagery for the song. Dobbyn's patterned jersey also received some derision.
In 2001, Loyal was voted the 3rd best New Zealand song of the 20th century by APRA, and featured on the related Nature's Best CD. It was also included on the live album Together in Concert: Live, which was performed with Bic Runga and Tim Finn.
I can't remember last time I thanked you,
Keeping my distance unintentionally.
Too close for comfort, just ain't close enough.
If I could have more time we would brainstorm.
And I love you tender, but we must walk away,
Keeping you on my greeting card file.
And if it were different - did you know it ain't?
Let's get on with it love...
AND CALL ME LOYAL - I'LL SAY YOU'RE LOYAL TOO.
I KNOW YOU'RE LOYAL - I FEEL YOUR LOYAL TRUTH,
CALL ME LOYAL - I'LL HOLD YOU LOYAL TOO,
AND WE ARE LOYAL, KEEP IT THAT WAY...
Keep it that way girl...
Out in the battle, flung far and used.
Where does allegiance lie?
Sometimes when all of your hopes, and all of your dreams,
Are too much to value in one moment.
And all of us anxious, but why hurry love?
History's here and now.
Oh and why are you waiting - waiting for what?
The history of some love?
AND CALL ME LOYAL - I'LL SAY YOU'RE LOYAL TOO.
I KNOW YOU'RE LOYAL - I FEEL YOUR LOYAL TRUTH,
AND CALL ME LOYAL - I'LL HOLD YOU LOYAL TOO,
AND WE ARE LOYAL, KEEP IT THAT WAY...BABY...
And we are loyal - haven't you known me long enough girl?
If I could see your heart right now,
Maybe there'd be a change or two.
AND YOU CAN CALL ME LOYAL - I'LL SAY YOU'RE LOYAL TOO.
I KNOW YOU'RE LOYAL - I FEEL YOUR LOYAL TRUTH,
AND CALL ME LOYAL - I'LL HOLD YOU LOYAL TOO,
AND WE ARE LOYAL, KEEP IT THAT WAY...
LOYAL! - I WILL SAY YOU'RE LOYAL TOO!
I KNOW YOU'RE LOYAL - I WILL FEEL YOUR LOYAL TRUTH,
AND CALL ME LOYAL - I WILL HOLD YOU LOYAL TOO,
AND WE ARE LOYAL, KEEP IT THAT WAY BABY...
Keep it that way baby,
