Video Premiere: Mila J - Times Like These
Mila J is a ride-or-die chick that stands by her man in times of crisis in the cinematic visual for her new single "Times Like These", lifted from the R&B songstress's recently released 5-track EP 'M.I.L.A.', which debuted last week in the top 5 on the iTunes R&B Charts and is currently sitting at number 4 with her younger sister Jhené Aiko holding the number 2 spot with the deluxe version of her debut studio album 'Souled Out'. "Times Like These" is a soulful ballad written by Mila J, real name Jamila Chilombo and Eric “Cire” Crawford who also produced the track together with Brad Kershaw.
The Blue Gregory-directed music video features a story of a young couple played by Mila J and fellow Los Angeles singer-songwriter Kevin McCall, who go through financial difficulties when the man, who's clearly the breadwinner, loses his job and his car gets repossessed. He turns to drug dealing in order to make fast money and eventually gets caught by the police and arrested. He refuses to cooperate with the authorities so the cops raid their place and, in a surprising twist, Mila J ends up taking the fall.

[Verse 1]
Let me take a minute to explain to you
All this time you've been in my corner like a trainer
Now you down, think it's time that I return the favor
As long as we got each other, what's there to be afraid of?
[Pre-Hook]
Cause I'mma ride witcha no matter what
And if the car ran out of gas break out the chucks
The we can walk it out, walk it out
Real bitches know what I talk' about
[Hook 1]
And I will never leave you, in times like these
Is when you need most love, in times like these
And I will be your shoulder, in times like these
Know I do what I gotta do, in times like these
Times like these, in times like these
When you need the most in times like these
I will be your shoulder, in times like these
In times like these, in times like these
[Verse 2]
When I say what I tell ya, you know I really mean it
Nothin' or nobody ever gonna come between
Yeah, cause you're my ****a
Finger on the trigger
And if some shit's about to go down
Know I'm goin' out witcha
[Pre-Hook]
[Hook 2]
And I will never leave you, in times like these
Is when you need most love, in times like these
I will be your shoulder, in times like these
I'll do what I gotta do, in times like these
In times like these, in times like these
When you need the most love, in times like these
Like Kobe and Vanessa in times like these
I wonder what I gotta do, in times like these
In times like these
[Break] (x2)
Said I'm in it for the long haul
If you fall, I fall, the we both fall
But if you ball, I ball, then we both ball
