"Stay Down" is a song by American musicians Lil Durk, 6lack, and Young Thug. It was released on October 30, 2020, as the second single from the former's sixth studio album, The Voice. The melodic track finds the artists melancholically detailing their quest for love and loyalty. The song was written by the artists alongside producers DY of 808 Mafia and Metro Boomin.

Composition

"Stay Down" is a melancholic and melodic track,

flow that could almost have served as a second hook".[5]

Critical reception

Complex's Jordan Rose stated: "All three artists have become masters at being able to dip their hands into either a melodic, melancholy bag or, conversely, their hard hip-hop pockets and that skillset is made evident again here. While 6lack cruises over the beat with a more smooth, crooning sound, Thug and Durk are spitting about how loyalty and love are the perfect pairings".[6] HipHopDX named "Stay Down" among the best hip hop songs of 2020, calling it an enjoyable track and praising 6lack for his "silky hook and verse on the track that stole the show".[7]

Music video

The song was released alongside a video directed by Collin Fletcher and Nick Vernet. It shows Lil Durk riding a

heavy duty trucks, performing their verses.[3][5]
