Contents 1 Critical reception 2 Promotion 3 Charts 4 References 5 External links Critical reception Sydney Scott from Essence wrote that the song `` feels like a sexy return to pure R&B, a soundtrack to a romantic evening that ends in the bedroom ''. Courtney Bryant of Parle gave a positive review to the song saying it `` has a sensual vibe to it '' and `` definitely delivers just as much as his past work, if not better ''. Promotion The music video for `` When We '' premiered via Tank 's YouTube channel on August 16, 2017. While talking about the video in an interview with Billboard, Tank said : `` Well, I wanted the song to sound literal. But, I also wanted people to explore their horizons, in terms of their sexuality. I think sometimes people can be basic in these moments. And, it is not because they are trying to be basic. Sometimes, you just get accustomed to doing a certain thing all the time. And it works for you. Sometimes we forget to be creative ( in bed ). We forget to use our imagination. So, even though the song has a very literal word, that word can go so many different ways. That is what I wanted to show. How deep, and how dark this word can be. And, how beautiful at the same time. '' Tank performed the song live at the Soul Train Music Awards in November 2017. On February 2, 2018, in an Instagram livestream Tank played the official remix of `` When We '' featuring American singers Trey Songz and Ty Dolla Sign. He released it on February 13, 2018.
