Background

Chris Brown teased the song on Instagram on July 15, 2025, asking "Should I drop this?" in the captions. The song attracted significant interest from fans, after which he announced the release date on July 23. Its release coincided with the start of the North American leg of Brown’s "Breezy Bowl XX" stadium tour.

Composition

"It Depends" is an R&B song with Bronx drill‑inspired percussion. The song finds the singers expressing passionate love toward their respective romantic interests, although the women they are addressing seem to be already involved with someone else. It contains a slowed-down sample of the bridge from Usher's "Nice & Slow", a track that Brown had previously interpolated in his 2017 song "To My Bed".

Critical reception

Zachary Horvath of HotNewHipHop stated "In general, it's nothing too out there for either artist, but they do display some nice chemistry, which they have done on several occasions."
