Halle Bailey fans will soon have her second solo single, “In Your Hands,” in their hands.
The singer announced the new track on Wednesday (March 6) by previewing almost 40 seconds of the sweeping ballad in a behind-the-scenes video of her Essence cover shoot. “You guys have asked for it, so i’ll gladly give it to you,” she wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter. The song will arrive next Friday, March 15.
“Whenever you’re down and sufferin’, I promise that I’ll be your only friend/ ‘Cause I know that the demons comin’ again, and we will never, ever let ’em in,” Bailey croons before bellowing the hook. “In your hands, in your hands, the world is yours!”
Outside of her contributions to movie soundtracks of films she’s starred in — “Part of Your World” from Disney’s live-action remake of The Little Mermaid and “Keep Pushin’” with Missy Elliott, Rico Santana and Corte Ellis from the 2023 adaptation of The Color Purple — Bailey has released only one solo single. “Angel” arrived on Aug. 4, 2023, via Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records, and the R&B/gospel track was nominated for best R&B song at the 2024 Grammy Awards.

And another angel arrived last year: She and boyfriend DDG welcomed their first son, Halo. “Even though we’re a few days into the new year, the greatest thing that 2023 could have done for me, was bring me my son.. welcome to the world my halo,” Bailey captioned an Instagram photo of the newborn’s tiny hand wearing a gold bracelet inscribed with the name Halo. “The world is desperate to know you.”
