"Freedom Rings" is a song by American singer Brandy. Conceived during recording sessions for her seventh studio album B7 (2020), it was written by Norwood, Ryan "Ryghteous" M. Tedder, Sebastian Kole, and Jeff "Gitty" Gitelman, while production was helmed by Gitelman and Tedder. A bluesy mid-tempo track that is built on heavy guitar riffs and a foot-stomping groove, its lyrics have been described as a "declaration of independence."
Its standalone release through Norwood's newly founded label, Brand Nu Inc., and eOne Music on September 27, 2019 commenced with the 25th anniversary of her eponymous debut album Brandy in 1994. Her first release since 2016's "Beggin & Pleadin, it earned generally positive reviews from music critics, particularly for its vocal performance, and peaked at number seven on the US Billboard R&B Digital Songs in the week of October 12, 2019.[1]
