Corbyn Besson Heats Things Up with “Tied Up”: A Confident, Magnetic Step Toward Solo Stardom
Written by: Keyali Mikaela
With the release of his bold new single “Tied Up,” Corbyn Besson officially kicks off a new era — and it’s one laced with sultry vocals, slick production, and a fearless sense of artistry. Once known as one-fifth of Why Don’t We, Besson is now stepping fully into the solo spotlight, and “Tied Up” makes one thing clear: he’s not here to play it safe.
Sonically, “Tied Up” channels the smooth, seductive energy of early 2000s pop-R&B. It sits comfortably alongside the work of Justin Timberlake, Usher, and Mario, with a modern polish that keeps it fresh. The production is tight — a rhythmic beat layered with subtle bass and shimmering synths that wrap around Corbyn’s confident delivery. Lyrically, it’s a flirty, high-energy anthem that blends charm with just the right amount of edge.
“Double knot it / We could get tied up / If you want it / Then I’m on it…”
It’s an infectious hook that lingers long after the track ends.
But it’s the music video that takes “Tied Up” to another level. It opens with a cinematic twist: Corbyn and his girl robbing a store together, setting the tone for a Bonnie-and-Clyde-inspired storyline. What follows is a series of passionate, high-stakes visuals — scenes of them tangled up in a dimly lit hotel room, dripping with chemistry and danger. The video leans fully into the sensual undertones of the song, adding a visual narrative that’s both thrilling and seductive.
Then comes the plot twist: after luring him into a sense of comfort and trust, she turns the tables and robs him. It’s a sharp, unexpected ending that flips the power dynamic and adds a layer of emotional depth to what initially feels like just a steamy love story. In that final moment, the message is clear — not everything (or everyone) is as tied up as it seems.
Beyond the song and visuals, “Tied Up” is a full-circle moment for Corbyn Besson. It’s his first major solo statement, and he delivers it with style, substance, and intention. The inclusion of choreography — another first — proves he’s ready to step into the pop-R&B performance lane, a space dominated by artists who can both sing and move with precision. Corbyn slides right into that space, exuding confidence and control in every frame.
This isn’t just a reintroduction — it’s a redefinition. Corbyn is no longer just the sweet vocalist from a boy band. He’s a grown artist with a vision, taking bold creative risks and pulling them off with finesse.
“Tied Up” is sleek, sexy, and smart — a multi-layered rollout that shows just how serious Corbyn Besson is about his solo career. If he keeps this pace, he’s well on his way to becoming a household name.
Corbyn Besson is a superstar in the making — and “Tied Up” is just the beginning.
