In a statement, Monét described “SOS” as a playful song about desire. “It’s about the urgency you feel when you need some love, physical touch, and quality attention,” she explained in a press release. “Sometimes that desire can feel as urgent as being rescued from a natural disaster, or in this case, rescued from your own sensual urges.” Almost a week before “SOS” dropped, the Jaguar artist teased its release and surprise feature with a sensual 20-second video on Instagram. With minimal details, the reel showed an intimate view of the “On My Mama” singer as her vocals played in the background of the short clip. Fans quickly filled her comment section with their best guesses on the surprise feature. Miguel, Ari Lennox, Coco Jones, and Teyana Taylor were a few of the predictions (all of which make perfect sense). But the only correct answer, which Monét revealed a day later, was the king of R&B – Usher.
