About Be Honest (feat. Burna Boy)

"Be Honest" is a song by British singer Jorja Smith. It features guest vocals from Nigerian singer Burna Boy and was released as a single through FAMM Records and The Orchard on 16 August 2019. The song was written by Smith, Burna Boy and Miraa May, and produced by Cadenza, IzyBeats and Kyle Stemberger. The song samples "Rastar" by Yung Tory. Commercially, it peaked at No. 8 on the U.K. Singles Chart, becoming Smith's first and Burna Boy's second top 10 hit.

"Be Honest" was written by Smith, along with Burna Boy and Miraa May. Smith was inspired by the Hot Girl Summer catchphrase coined by American rapper, Megan Thee Stallion. Initially Smith planned on giving the song away to another singer, but decided on keeping it due to the contrasting tempo to her previously sombre discography. The song was produced by Izy and Cadenza who previously produced Smith's 2016 song "Where Did I Go?", from her debut album. The song features guest vocals from Nigerian singer Burna Boy, making it the duo's second collaboration following "Gum Body" from Burna Boy's album African Giant (2018). The song was released as a single to streaming and digital platforms through FAMM Records on 16 August 2019.
