“My Oasis” which comes following Smith’s decision back in March to postpone and rename their third studio album, was originally titled To Die For. It was slated for a May 1 release, but the singer revealed in an Instagram post that the timing and title of the album didn’t “feel right” to them. He promised fans that “I am still going to bring out some new music over the next few months.”Smith and Burna Boy wrote the song with Jimmy Napes.
