Keke Palmer’s “My Confession” Is the Ultimate Clapback – A Sexy, Soulful Slapback to the Drama

Keke Palmer is not here for the nonsense — and she’s making that crystal clear with her bold new single, “My Confession.” Dripping with confidence, raw emotion, and no-holds-barred energy, the track feels like a musical mirror held up to all the mess that tried to dim her light. And let’s be real — she shines too bright for that.

After catching heat from her ex (yep, the baby daddy himself) over that viral moment with R&B king Usher during his Las Vegas residency — cherries, curves, and all — Keke is taking back the mic. Instead of clapping back on socials, she slid into the booth and delivered a soulful, sexy, and savage response — one that lives in the beat, bleeds through the lyrics, and bites harder than any tweet could.

The song samples the iconic Usher track of the same name (irony not lost on us), but Keke flips it into something entirely her own. Her voice floats and punches all at once — vulnerable but untouchable. She sings:

“…72 hours now your feelings’ hurt/my fans dragging you because you had the nerve/ you almost turned me into a cliiche/thought havin your baby would make me wanna stay…”

“F*CK yo projections / these are my Confessions / gotta let it burn/ these are my confessions/another lesson learned…”

Whew. Every note drips with that “I said what I said” energy.

“My Confession” is a reminder that Keke Palmer isn’t just a media darling or an actress — she’s a full-blown artist with something to say. The track builds with hypnotic rhythm, sultry undertones, and a fiery undercurrent that feels like closure served hot. The layered harmonies, assertive cadence, and undeniable vibe make this a standout moment in her music catalog.

This isn’t just a diss track. It’s a declaration — Keke Palmer is unbothered, unbent, and unapologetically herself.

“My Confession” is the lead single from Keke’s upcoming album “JUST KEKE,” with the follow-up track “Off Script” set to drop on May 30th. The full album will be released globally on Friday, June 20th.
