After sharing her own version of Drake‘s ubiquitous and heavily meme’d-over “Hotline Bling,” Erykah Badu has put forth her own response to the mega-hit called “Phone Down,” another #relatable track about mobile phones and the way they rule our lives. Badu wrote in the release, “This one’s for Aubrey.”

It’s a cut from her forthcoming mixtape But You Caint Use My Phone, due out over Thanksgiving weekend. Stream it on your smart phone below, or keep it in mind for the next time you need passive aggressive ammunition to fire at your phone-addicted significant other.
