Chris Brown is back at it again, blessing fans with the highly anticipated music video for his chart-topping single, “Residuals.” The visual, which dropped on January 23, 2025, takes viewers on a cinematic journey that perfectly matches the song’s smooth, soulful vibe.
Directed by the talented Travis Colbert, the video is a mix of electrifying live performance clips and intimate behind-the-scenes moments. Fans get a front-row seat to Chris’s sold-out stadium shows in South Africa and Brazil, where his signature dance moves and undeniable stage presence are on full display. But it doesn’t stop there—Brown takes the storytelling up a notch with a dramatic plot twist. After a life-altering car accident, he finds himself in a surreal dreamscape, navigating themes of love, loss, and redemption.
“Residuals” is one of the standout tracks from the deluxe edition of Brown’s album 11:11. The song has been making waves ever since, climbing to No. 1 on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart and earning its spot as a fan favorite. It even cracked the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 76—a testament to its universal appeal.
With its silky production courtesy of Blaq Tuxedo, “Residuals” delivers that classic Chris Brown sound we all know and love: smooth vocals layered over hypnotic beats. Interestingly, the track was originally meant for his Breezy album but found its true home on 11:11. And judging by the way fans have embraced it, it was worth the wait.
To top it all off, “Residuals” is already generating major buzz ahead of award season. The track has snagged multiple Grammy nominations, including Best R&B Performance—a well-deserved nod for one of the genre’s most consistent hitmakers.
