"Pressure" is a song by American singer Ari Lennox, released as a single on September 10, 2021, through Dreamville and Interscope Records. It is the lead single from Lennox's second studio album Age/Sex/Location, and samples the bass line from Shirley Brown's 1977 song "Blessed Is the Woman (With a Man Like Mine)". Produced by Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox, and Elite, "Pressure" is Lennox's highest-charting solo single, reaching number 66 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Latesha Harris of NPR described the track as "a half-Motown, half-808s fantasia about being the center of attention during foreplay" and wrote that it "elevates [Lennox's] status as a neo-soul touchstone, referencing the soul divas before her and leading the way for those to come with fearless, intoxicating charm".[1]
