"Gotta Move On" is a song by American rapper and record executive Diddy, featuring guest vocals from singer Bryson Tiller and production from producers Teddy Walton, J-Louis, RNSM, Roark Bailey and additional production from SlimWav. Influenced by dancehall, it was released as a single on June 14, 2024 and intended to lead his fifth album, The Love Album: Off the Grid (2023); however, the song was only included on the album's expanded edition. "Gotta Move On" peaked at number 79 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became Diddy's first entry on the chart since his 2010 single "Coming Home" (with Dirty Money featuring Skylar Grey).

Contents

The song contains additional vocals and songwriting from rapper Wale. The accompanying music video was directed by singer Teyana Taylor under the pseudonym "Spike Tee". [3] [4]

Background

The song marks Diddy's first record to not be released by his label, Bad Boy Records, for which he was the flagship artist and founder. After a lukewarm commercial and critical response from his previous decade of material, the song finds Diddy in a less-braggadocious state of vulnerability as he laments on unrequited love. [5] According to Diddy, he co-wrote the song with Tiller to help both of them move on during a period when they each were moving on from failed relationships. [6] Tiller, however, claims the song was originally written and recorded by him c. 2018, and his brother mistakenly sent the song to Diddy in 2022, which led to their collaboration. [7]

Remixes

The song spawned three official remixes with varying guest performers and producers, including City Girls, Ashanti, Fabolous, and Cool & Dre. The remix with former two was titled the "Queens Mix." [8]
