Jhene Akio performed The Pressure at Streamy Awards
The song debuted on Vogue’s website and was released as the album’s second digital single on July 17, 2014, via ARTium Recordings and Def Jam Recordings.
The song’s accompanying video, created by rapper Childish Gambino and Calmatic, was released in 2014. It illustrates the difficulties of being in a relationship. Aiko is shown in the video with blonde dreadlocks and her daughter Namiko makes a brief appearance. [14] The video begins with a darkly lit Aiko as the camera pans through a succession of vignettes depicting the singer drinking beer and eating pizza with her friends, enjoying a herbal refreshment on a sofa with a gentleman, creating songs, and playing with her child. Friends argue, lovers leave, and Aiko sends her child go to enjoy a birthday without her, which is followed by Aiko fading away.
