"Talk" kicked off the rollout of Free Spirit, Khalid's second album, arriving on RCA on February 7, 2019 as the record's first single. Khalid wrote it himself and put the production in the hands of Disclosure, the English electronic duo, and the song did double duty, turning up as well on the deluxe edition of Disclosure's own third album, Energy. It's contemporary R&B with electronic producers at the controls.
It became the biggest solo hit of his career in the US, climbing to number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and giving him his fifth top-10 single there. It was up for Record of the Year at the 62nd Grammy Awards, and Billboard put it at 29 on its list of the 100 best songs of 2019.
