Performing a medley of her “DFMU” and “Leave You Alone” singles, on Tuesday (5.17) Ella Mai brought her signature style of retro R&B to The Tonight Show.
From the UK singer’s latest full length, Heart on My Sleeve, “DFMU” (aka “don’t fuck me up”) is Mai’s first single since 2020’s “Not Another Love Song.” With lyrics reflect her asking a lover to reveal their true feelings, Ella sings “You got me questionin’, what have you done to me?” “Used to be out of reach/Feel like you’re testin’ me, you’re the necessity/Full court press on me.”
Competing in the Best R&B Album category, Ella Mai received her third Grammy Award nomination in 2020, with her self-titled studio LP, after her debut single, “Boo’d Up,” won the singer a Grammy for Best R&B Song in 2019. The track was also nominated for Song of the Year.
