With temperatures rising and summer creeping in, Lisa has officially set the season’s tone — and the thermostat — with her steamy new single “When I’m With You,” a standout from her solo project Alter Ego. Teaming up with South African hitmaker Tyla, the pair deliver a sultry, confident track that fuses pop, R&B, and rap into one glossy, late-night anthem.
Released on May 16, the music video — directed by Olivia De Camps — leans fully into the heat of the track. Featuring sensual choreography, luxurious poolside escapism, and the unmistakable chemistry between its stars, the visual isn’t just another summer video — it’s a statement. Lisa and Tyla aren’t chasing summer vibes. They are the summer vibe.
The song finds both artists exploring their edgier sides, lyrically and sonically. Tyla’s melodic vocals glide over the beat with lyrics about giving in to passion and letting control slip away: “All my pride goes out the window / When I’m with you,” she confesses with soft defiance. It’s a departure from restraint — a full embrace of desire.
Lisa, on the other hand, is all swagger and intent. Her verses hit with precision: “Quick trip, one way, and I’m there for you / Good girl, I’ll dare, but I’m bad for you.” It’s a solid reminder that beyond her global pop star status, Lisa can hold her own as a rapper, weaving charisma into every bar.
Both vocally and visually, When I’m With You is polished but personal, seductive but playful — a perfect storm of two artists at the top of their game. As Alter Ego continues to unfold, this track proves Lisa isn’t just experimenting outside of her group work — she’s thriving.
