WY@

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Faiyaz would state: “I’m a procrastinator, I’m a frivolous spender, and I definitely spend a lot of time with a lot of different women. That record reflects having access and opportunity, and having to say no to certain s–t or the inability to say no to certain s–t.”^[1] Going further into detail, "That record is about addiction in a way, shape, or form, but more from the perspective of submitting to it versus fighting against it. It touches on addiction in a way that makes it a little more seductive. That’s on some, ‘Where you at?’ That late-night text you send, you probably been drinking a little bit, been outside, know you shouldn’t do that sh*t — but f**k it. The access is always gonna be there, so I’m gonna pull up."^[2]

Faiyaz wrote "WY@" alongside its producers and engineers, Dpat, Berg, Anthoine Walters, Otxhello and Jonathan Wells. The song revolves around him being in a relationship that he knows is toxic,^[3] but he is unwilling to leave his partner, because he enjoys the thrills of their sexual activity.^[4][5] "WY@" includes vocals from a Latina singer who delivers sexually charged lyrics ("I'm waiting for you with my legs open and my heart open / I can still taste you in my mouth / No one can make me shake like you").^[4] The song's lyrics are centered around trust issues.^[6]

Robin Murray writing for Clash wrote the song was "a barbed piece of emotive R&B, a song about love, devotion, and the pain of parting."^[6]

Faiyaz teased the music video for "WY@" in January 2024.^[7] Mark Peaced would direct the music video for "WY@", which premiered on February 14, 2024.^[8]

Later it would be streamed as an Apple Music exclusive on November 29, 2023.^[9] In a press release, he said: “We had a time on the road. Thank you Apple Music for allowing me to bring the F–k the World It’s a Wasteland Tour experience to millions. Hope you enjoy the show.”^[10]
