Next Lifetime

"Next Lifetime" is a song recorded by American singer Erykah Badu for her debut studio album Baduizm (1997).

A mid-tempo ballad, the song describes being in a relationship but longing for another man.

At the start of the song, Badu is heard talking to a man about how they can't be together even though they both have feelings for one another.

The accompanying music video for "Next Lifetime" starts with the title "a story by Erykah Badu".

Pete Rock, Method Man and Badu's then-boyfriend André 3000 all appeared in the video.
