"Gotta Move On" is a single by American rapper and record executive Diddy. The song features guest vocals from singer Bryson Tiller and production from producers Teddy Walton, J-Louis, RNSM, Roark Bailey and additional production from SlimWav. The dancehall-influenced track was originally intended for Diddy's fifth album, The Love Album: Off the Grid (2023), but was only included on the albums expanded edition. It peaked at number 79 on the Billboard Hot 100—making it Diddy's first entry on the chart since 2010's "Coming Home"—and contains additional vocals and songwriting from rapper Wale. The accompanying music video was directed by singer Teyana Taylor under the pseudonym "Spike Tee".[3][4]

Background

The song marks Diddy's first record to not be released by his label, Bad Boy Records, for which he was the flagship artist and founder. After a lukewarm commercial and critical response from his previous decade of material, the song finds Diddy in a less-braggadocious state of vulnerability as he laments on unrequited love.[5] According to Diddy, he co-wrote the song with Tiller to help both of them move on during a period when they each were moving on from failed relationships.[6] Tiller, however, claims the song was originally written and recorded by him c. 2018, and his brother mistakenly sent the song to Diddy in 2022 which led to their collaboration.[7]

Remixes

The song spawned numerous remixes with varying guest performers and producers, these include City Girls, Ashanti, Fabolous, and Cool & Dre. The remix with former two was titled the "Queens Mix."[8]
