Big Sean closed out Black History Month with a surprise freestyle, “Head to the Sky.” The track, which samples “Optimistic” by Sounds of Blackness, was shared on his social media with the caption, “Some bars on the last day of Black History Month…type shit. Sounds of Blackness.”
Despite the timing of its release, the song doesn’t focus directly on Black history. Instead, it delivers an uplifting message about overcoming struggles and embracing growth. With lines like, “See the magic in mistakes and start to embrace it,” Sean offers motivation for listeners to keep pushing forward.
The video for the track features people of all ages gazing up at the sky, reflecting the song’s message of optimism and hope. The visual perfectly complements the energy of the song, encouraging viewers to stay positive no matter what they face.
Recently, Sean has been making waves with new projects. Last month, he teamed up with Will Smith for “Beautiful Scar,” a song accompanied by a Matrix-inspired music video. In the visual, Sean plays Morpheus, offering Smith a choice between a red and blue pill—symbolizing the decision to either change his past or continue life as it is.
Though “Head to the Sky” is currently only available on Instagram and X, the strong response from fans and fellow artists like Bryson Tiller and 2 Chainz suggests it could land on streaming platforms soon. The track’s reflective tone and personal storytelling would fit well with his last album, Better Me Than You, which explored themes of growth, family, and self-discovery.
With this latest release, Big Sean continues to inspire with his words, proving once again why his music resonates with so many.
