Background

"Saved" was written by Ty, E-40, Glenda Proby, Bobby Brackins, and its producers DJ Mustard and Twice as Nice. Ty and E-40 previously collaborated on the tracks "Chitty Bang" and "That's Right".[2][3] In 2015, after releasing "Only Right", "Blasé" and "When I See Ya" as first three singles of his debut studio album, Free TC, Ty released "Saved" as the fourth single (second sent to radio) of the album on October 15, 2015.[4] Free TC was released on November 13, 2015.[5]

Music video

A music video for "Saved" premiered on Ty's official YouTube channel on November 16, 2015.[6] It was directed by Elliott Sellers, who previously directed the video for Ty's "When I See Ya".[7] The video opens with Ty sitting atop a golden throne in the clouds. He’s surrounded by women who are trying to "get saved", but he ignores them all and sings, "I ain’t gonna save her." It also shows Ty standing in the clouds and performing with E-40.[8] The song's co-producer DJ Mustard also makes a cameo appearance.[6] The video received acclaim by music critics. Uproxx's Beware called the video "stunning" and wrote that it "not only looks beautiful, it fits the concept".[9] Ted Simmons of XXL commented that "the video is an example of Ty’s strength, marrying the high and the low".[10]
