"B.S." is a song recorded by American singer Jhené Aiko featuring fellow American singer H.E.R., released on March 6, 2020 as a single from the former's third studio album Chilombo (2020). The song was written by the artists alongside Big Sean and producers the Fisticuffs (Brian Warfield and Mac Robinson). An animated music video for the song premiered in May 2020.[1] A remix of the song featuring Kehlani, was included on the deluxe edition of Chilombo, which was released on July 17, 2020.[2] The vinyl version of the remix features an originally intended verse by Kehlani.[3]

The song became Aiko's second top-forty entry on the US Billboard Hot 100 and her highest-charting song in New Zealand and the UK, following the album's release. "B.S." became the fourth consecutive release from Chilombo to receive gold certification by RIAA in May 2020, for selling 500,000 units. It was certified platinum in September 2020. "B.S." went on to top rhythmic radio in December 2020.[citation needed]
