UPDATE Feb. 7th, 2026: Watch New Official Music Video Below!
Many who heard Karyn White on the radio with a series of crossover (R&B, pop and dance) Billboard number one tracks including “Secret Rendezvous,” “The Way You Love Me” and the empowering “Superwoman” recognize her distinctive voice and her respect for invigorating lyrics. Though she has been away from the studio for awhile, with the exception of Carpe Diem and the semi-autobiographical soundtrack entitled Gale & The Storm, White still tours such as the 2026 Soul Train Cruise (featuring Johnny Gill & The S.O.S. Band). But she has not forgotten how to craft a hit in 2026, delivering the magnetizing “You’re Gonna Want Me Back” (Karyn White Enterprises), guided by Carpe Diem producer Derrick “DOA” Allen. This bold statement presents a new journey in love, no matter what the romantic past:
“You tried to spin it, but you’re still the same/
I ain’t that girl, you know I’ve changed/
I found my rhythm, while you played your part/
You want the history, but not my heart.”
Welcome back Karyn White with “You’re Gonna Want Me Back,” currently available on most digital platforms.
