Composition and lyrics

"Grass Ain't Greener" is an alternative R&B, mid-tempo song that features beats and minor influences of hip hop.[11] The production of the song is based on a roland TR-808. After the first two sung verses, Brown visits his rapping skills in the final verse of the song. Lyrically, the song combines passion and romance, even though Brown is wary of the intentions of his female liaisons. The crooner calls out an ex for fronting and admits he's fed up with blowing up her phone, as he sings "I know what you want, but you're not gon' get it / You do what you want with somebody else / I'm gone, baby".[12][13]

Music video

On May 5, 2016 Brown uploaded the video audio for "Grass Ain't Greener" on his YouTube and Vevo account.[14]
