Tion Wayne Reflects On How Far He’s Come On New Song “Healing”

It’s the U.K. rapper’s first single of 2023.

Rising U.K. rapper Tion Wayne returns today with “healing,” his first new single since dropping the 2022 Aitch-assisted “Let’s Go.” Fans must have been waiting for new music from the MC—upon release, the song quickly found its into Genius Top Rap Songs chart.

Produced by Crumz and GA, “Healing” is backed by a gritty drill sound and finds Wayne reflecting on how far he’s come and where he’s going from here. On the hook, which opens the track, he explains that he’s put in a lot of time and energy into his work, and now he’s finally in a position to attain some peace.

If you don’t hear, must feel it (Mm-mm)

All that time I spent on roads, I’m healin’

He reflects on everything he’s had to go through to get to a place of healing on the first verse. Not all of it was music-related—or legal.

Before the TikTok shit, had to flip the script ‘cah rap didn’t give man riches

T Wayne, I don’t fuck with snitches (Grrt)

From Rambo blades in kitchens (Woo)

Nearly cried at my first six figures

Now that he’s made it, his lifestyle is much more lavish. He can drop thousands on a pair of slippers or treat his girl to pretty much whatever she wants.

It’s funny how things change (Things change)

Thousand pounds on slippers (Slippers)

Twenty pads on my shooter (Shooter)

Fifteen bags on my Mrs. (Eh-hah)

He continues his flex on the second verse, where he boasts about copping a new truck and a new watch before asserting that it’s no surprise to the people around him that his talent would take him places.

Even my mum called me prodigal yute (Woo)

Even the opps know I don’t need groups

As the verse goes on, Wayne makes some predictions about his future. He has some lofty goals, but he’s confident he’ll make them happen.

What? What? Hundred milli’ soon, watch, watch (Brrt)

“Healing” arrived alongside an official music video—partially shot in Nigeria—featuring North London rapper wearing his signature green color.
