“Folded” was released on June 11, 2025 via Atlantic Records as the lead single from Kehlani’s self-titled fifth studio album (April 24, 2026). Produced by Andre Harris, D.K. The Punisher, Don Mills, and Khris Riddick-Tynes, the track marked the opening of Kehlani’s boldest musical era yet — raw, unfiltered, and emotionally direct. The song went on to win two Grammy Awards at the 68th Annual Grammy ceremony: Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song, marking Kehlani’s first Grammy wins.
“Folded” became Kehlani’s biggest commercial breakthrough, peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 — their first-ever top 10 on that chart. It simultaneously reached No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, Rhythmic Airplay, Adult R&B Airplay, and R&B Digital Song Sales. The song accumulated over 800 million global streams and peaked at No. 22 on Billboard’s Global 200. Its cultural impact extended further through the “Folded Homage Pack,” a remix series featuring Toni Braxton, Brandy, JoJo, Mario, Ne-Yo, and Tank.
It’s so silly of me to act like I don’t need you bad
When all, all I can think about is us since I seen you last
I know I didn’t have to walk away
All I had to do was ask for space
I’m telling you, be on your way
When I told you to fall back
