Tell us about your latest single.
'Full Speed' is a record that means a lot to me, the song is a replica of something that most of us go through in our era. 'Full Speed' talks about a story about a guy who gave his all to a girl, but unfortunately, it was given at the wrong time and place. The guy continued his life normally and then once he found someone new, the old girl tried to interfere in his life which is why the song emphasizes "You Gotta Leave, Full Speed!"

Walk us through the production process.
When it comes to production, I always like to choose the beats based on my mood. With 'Full Speed,' I wanted to create a vibe. A vibe that a lot of people seek when driving at night, but also I wanted to make it easy for the listener to visualize the song as I love storytelling in the records I produce!
What's the core message of the song?
Your time will come when it comes to love, it's all about timings in the world we live in.
What makes 'Full Speed' special from your other works?
I feel like every song I do will always make it special from my other work. We as artists in this region, always want to challenge ourselves and get better with every song we make.
Saad Brizzy believes in making music for every situation – for tougher experiences in the region, for personal experiences we encounter in the East and West, and for times when it is necessary to enjoy life. "As an artist, I have to believe in myself and put the hard work and let the music speak for itself,” he concludes.
'Full Speed' will be available for stream and download on all platforms March 1, 2022.
