Songfacts®:

• "It Depends" is a 2025 single from Chris Brown featuring Bryson Tiller. Built on soft-spoken seduction and ambiguous intentions, the track is essentially a musical version of the phrase "let's see where the night takes us" delivered with just enough late-night haze and bedroom confidence to make it sound profound.
• The song is a waltz through mixed signals and emotional fine print. Brown and Tiller trade verses wooing women who might already be claimed, though the song is careful to say that everything, from eye contact to after-hours decisions, is negotiable. As the title tells us (in case we miss the point the first dozen times), it depends on the mood, the moment, and the mutual desire in the air.
• One of the track's most arresting features is its sly lift from Usher's 1997 slow-jam classic "Nice & Slow," which gets reimagined in the pre-chorus with a moodier, more atmospheric spin. Producers Nico Baran and RIOTUSA (Ice Spice's go-to beatmaker) cloak it in shadows and candlelight, giving the late '90s R&B polish a 2025-style gloss.
• The song arrived on July 25, 2025, as part of the promotional rollout for Brown's Breezy Bowl XX stadium tour, with Tiller as a featured act, continuing a long and fruitful bromance in R&B. The duo racked up several collaborations over nearly a decade, including Breezy's tracks:
  
  2015 "Proof"
  2016 "Keep You In Mind"
  2022 "Need You Right Here"
  2024 "Run Away"
  
  If these songs tell us anything, it's that Brown and Tiller share a musical wavelength that thrives on slow tempos, complicated emotions, and an unspoken rule that everything is negotiable - depending, of course, on the moment.
• Chris Brown released "It Depends (The Remix)" on October 17, 2025. The new version adds Usher to the track, creating a three-generation collaboration between some of the genre's biggest names.
  
  Usher opens the remix with a playful verse where he talks about getting the call from Brown to do the remix, then he delivers his signature smooth vocals with lines about realigning chakras and taking things to another level.
