Ravyn Lenae shared a new single titled “Love Me Not” for her upcoming album, Bird’s Eye, on Friday. Along with its release, she dropped a music video to promote the track. For that effort, she got behind the camera and directed the piece. She revealed on Instagram that several of her family members make cameos in the video, in which the camera follows her as she walks around a house.

Lenae spoke about her ideas for the new album in a press release for the announcement. “Bird’s Eye signifies returning to a place of self-trust and unbending intuition while acknowledging the paths and turns I’ve taken to get here,” she said. “Revisiting the most basic parts of my identity has allowed me to fully embrace them and be proud of where I’m going.” In addition to sharing “Love Me Not,” she also dropped “Love Is Blind,” although there’s no music video for that song.
