“‘Do Me Dirty’ is a tongue in cheek song about my laying down my expectations for someone if they try to pursue me.” Says Reece about the single.
His debut album and follow up to his 2019 EP I’m Not Sure Yet, is his most magnetic project to date and focused on honesty, love, experience, and heartbreak, all introduced in this single.
