West Coast lyricist and creative force Jon Keith returns with a bold new single, “EYES ON US,” a dark yet vibrant pop record that centers listeners on the presence of God in the middle of heartbreak and chaos. The track, co-produced by Grammy-winning legend Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins and producer Enzo Gran, is his first solo release since dropping the collaborative album WEST INDIES with Miles Minnick—a high-energy, faith-fueled tribute to West Coast culture. This moment caps off a milestone year in which Jon surpassed 30 million lifetime streams.
Driven by an infectious hook and drums that demand movement, “EYES ON US” delivers sonic intensity and emotional resonance—a beacon of hope for anyone facing moments of darkness.
“I wrote this song as a response to watching the fires burn through LA at the beginning of this year,” Jon shares. “Being from San Diego, it was heartbreaking to see so many of my friends and family members have their lives turn to ash. I want this song to be like a friend to listeners in the midst of heartbreak and tragedy—something to remind them that there’s hope and love available when they need it, and that God sees and counts every tear because He cares.” – Jon Keith
The release follows a wave of momentum, including Jon’s national tour run with nobigdyl. (The People We Became Tour), performing at Rolling Loud Miami, and the BET-premiered music video for the NO LOVE, featuring powerhouse vocalist Annatoria.
With “EYES ON US,” Jon Keith continues carving his own lane—unapologetically honest, spiritually rooted, and sonically unshakable.
