Teyana Taylor feat. Lucky Daye – Hard Part [Video]
Breakups are messy; the real work starts after. “Hard Part” puts that aftermath under a desert sun and lets it breathe.
A standout from Taylor’s August album “Escape Room“, “Hard Part” pairs her smoky lead with Lucky Daye’s velvet replies—grown-folks R&B, no melodrama needed. The studio cut clocks in at a tight ~2:38 and sits right in the pocket for repeat plays.
Directed through Taylor’s all-women production house The Aunties Inc., the film drops her and Daye in the Joshua Tree expanse. They glide in a convertible, hit a lonely gas station, and trade the kind of glances that say everything a bridge can’t. It plays like a mini road movie—sun-bleached, unhurried, and mature.
The visual cut runs about four minutes, giving the song space for visual storytelling—breathing room for guilt, pride, and the slow walk toward acceptance. Elegant, adult, and beautifully restrained. “Hard Part” doesn’t chase virality; it trusts craft—and wins. Watch the video once for the story, again for the details, then add the song to your late-night rotation.
