Background and composition

"Angel Numbers / Ten Toes" is an R&B track, composed by two different parts. The song's first half was described by Kayla Sandiford of Renowned for Sound as an "emotive, dreamlike acoustic introduction", with Brown seeking out "healing through a wish for refuge from the pressures of mental health". [2] Edward Bowser of Medium said that "The first half sets an acoustic, almost intergalactic feel" with Brown embracing the 11:11 theme, while "Ten Toes" "ramps up the intensity" towards a more hip-hop-influenced sound, while the crooner "speaks candidly about battling anxiety". [3] According to Billboard, lyrically the track is about fighting anxiety and depression. [4]

Music video

Chris Brown released the music video for "Angel Numbers/Ten Toes", directed by Jamar Harding, on Valentine's Day 2024. It stars Sierra Capri in the role of a siren.

Synopsis

The music video opens with a scene of Brown entering a car in the desert, reminiscent of his "Don't Judge Me" visual. He carries a large, oversized bag in the backseat. He embarks on a drive through the desert. The car eventually runs out of gas. Forced to continue on foot, he walks through the desert carrying the bag. He eventually collapses under the weight of the bag. As he lies on the ground, his chakras are highlighted. Suddenly, he is buried alive in the sand. As he sinks deeper, he reaches out with his arms.

As the intro to "Ten Toes" plays, Brown finds himself lying on the ground in a dark forest. He then begins to walk deeper into the woods. Lurking in the shadows are creatures silently observing him. Brown turns around and forcefully stomps the ground. As he continues, a siren emerges from the water, accompanied by snakes. She approaches Brown, trapping him against a tree with the snakes. A light appears from a distance, capturing Brown and the siren's attention, causing the snakes to release their grip. He attempts to flee, but the siren tackles him with a snake, dragging him across the forest floor. Brown is overwhelmed as the snakes swarm over him, completely enveloping him. He suddenly awakens in the desert. As he slowly gets to his feet, he sees his three children waving at him. The video ends with him walking towards his children.
