"Company" is a song by American singer Tinashe for Nightride. The single was released by RCA Records on September 16, 2016. The song was written and produced by American R&B producer The-Dream. The song follows her previous single "Superlove", released on July 15, 2016.[1][2][3][4][5] The song's official video was met with acclaim, with Billboard calling it "choreographic perfection".[6]
On September 15, Tinashe performed the song, alongside "Superlove", on MTV's Wonderland program.[7]
Critical reception[edit]
Danny Schwartz of HotNewHipHop described the song as if Tinashe were "taking applicants for a no-strings-attached situation that literally millions of young men would be more than happy to fill". However, Schwartz continued that "despite her lack of a companion", the sexual tension on the track was described as "somehow through the roof".[8]
Music video[edit]
The song's accompanying music video directed by Jack Begert premiered on January 6, 2017, via Tinashe's Vevo account on YouTube.[9]
