"Poison," the new single from Aaliyah featuring The Weeknd, has dropped.
The track, which was released on Friday, is from Aaliyah's upcoming posthumous album, "Unstoppable," due in 2022.
During the song, the late R&B singer questions the relationship she's in and whether it's love, before concluding that their time together has come to an end.

The mellow song was first teased just hours before its release, when Background Records tweeted, "Aaliyah x Abel. That’s it. That’s the tweet."
A few hours later, they shared the release date and cover art for the single, which features a bottle of what's presumed to be poison, surrounded by a beautiful and exotic, but dangerous-looking plant.
