Now, he's teasing a possible special guest.

One thing that’s certain is that we are right now in times that none of us have ever experienced. I thought it would be special to put together a time capsule of both my intimate and extended family living through what we would have never imagined. From my home to yours, this is my new single Back Home ft @summerwalker @davidcamarena @biancasamadhi & @mizzr3d for contributing to bringing the vision to life Link to full song and video in my bio

After resurfacing on social media with pics of his son and his son's mother, Trey Songz has some new music.

The VA native released a new single titled, "Back Home," featuring Summer Walker, along with a quarantine-style video to accompany the track. His baby boy Noah (who just turned 1) is featured in the visuals, along with Trey's family and friends.

“One thing that’s certain is that we are right now in times that none of us have ever experienced,” Trigga wrote on IG. "I thought it would be special to put together a time capsule of both my intimate and extended family living through what we would have never imagined.”

Ain’t gon lie...it scares the hell outta me to be this vulnerable and share my world in this way. The way we tear each other down worries me, but fuck it, because I’m guilty of it too if we really being honest. Whatever happens, I do know that now more than ever, sharing moments I normally keep to myself could help others in their time of need. So here it is, my most personal & precious moment; flying back home to Virginia for my son’s 1st birthday. A first that many families have had to celebrate with their loved ones virtually. I couldn’t miss it even with the world shut down. Thank you for all the love and positivity you’ve been sending to my boy.
