Victoria Monét and Usher Are ‘Too Sexy to Be Alone’ on Steamy Duet ‘SOS’
Summer’s almost over, but the temperature is still rising thanks to Victoria Monét and Usher. The pair have just released “SOS (Sex on Sight),” their hot and heavy new duet off Monét’s upcoming Jaguar II Deluxe.
Produced by Camper (Coco Jones, Doja Cat), “SOS” is a classic R&B slow-jam that rides a sweaty bass line. Monét sends out a signal to her prospective lover and Usher promises to be there soon. “I’m way too sexy to be alone,” the pair sing on the song’s pre-chorus.

In a statement, Monét says the song “is about desire.” She continues, “It’s about the urgency you feel when you need some love, physical touch and quality attention! Sometimes that desire can feel as urgent as being rescued from a natural disaster, or in this case rescued from your own sensual urges. Just like a storm, ‘SOS’ summons and forewarns a lover of the rainfall that is to come and welcomes the beautiful relief from that desire. It feels romantic, playful, sultry and direct.”
Earlier this year, Monét took home three Grammy Awards for Jaguar II, including Best New Artist. Usher kicked off the year in a massive way as well, headlining the Super Bowl halftime show. The pair have been publicly mingling for months now, with Monét gifting Usher a congratulatory Super Bowl leather jacket and later performing his hit “Bad Girl” with Teyana Taylor as part of a lifetime achievement tribute to the star at the BET Awards.
While Monét has confirmed that Jaguar II Deluxe is on its way, she has yet to reveal a release date.
