Mrs. Whoever / Something in the Water – Single

Mrs. Whoever / Something in the Water is a two-track release. They are Saba’s first release as a primary artist since his December 2018 track, “Where It’s At.”

Saba started teasing new music September 15th 2020, in a series of cryptic tweets. With one of them revolving around a rotary phone and phone number.

The phone and number would end up playing a major role in the rollout of the package. On September 16, Saba shared a link to his newly updated website that included a red rotary phone. Saba then asked his fans to crack the code for an early listen. The code would end up being 773, the first three digits of the phone number. Also known as Chicago’s area code, the same place Saba was born and grew up in. This would lead fans to an early preview of “Mrs. Whoever’s” music video. While hitting number 6 would give a short snippet of Denzel’s verse, leading many to speculate the release of a Saba & Denzel Curry collaboration.

A day later, on the 17th, Saba announced the release of the two singles during a live Q&A, officially releasing both singles on streaming services as a 2-track package.
