"Steady" is the tenth track from Bebe Rexha’s debut studio album Expectations. It features Canadian rapper Tory Lanez.

Bebe Rexha and Tory Lanez sing about the complications of falling in love while on the influence of drugs on “Steady”.
The slow-burner trap-pop piece features dark undertones, grungy background guitars and heavy auto-tune on Lanez' vocals.
Lyrics
[Intro]
Steady
[Verse 1: Bebe Rexha]
Something 'bout a rapper, something 'bout a singer
Trying to make a feeling last longer than a linger
They knew exactly what they we're getting into
He was always sippin', she was something different
Together they were living, never ever overthinking
Falling in madly, running from their issues
And he's not to blame, and she's not to blame
Drinking the love that they pour in the cup 'cause it eases the pain
And he'll never change, she'll never change
Breathing the hope that they find in the smoke 'cause it eases the pain
[Pre-Chorus: Bebe Rexha]
We only love when our eyes get heavy
We only laugh, we only dance when the high gets steady
Yeah, we only touch when our heads get messy
We only laugh, only attach when the high gets steady
[Chorus: Bebe Rexha]
When the high gets steady
Hi-high gets steady
When the high gets steady
When the high gets steady
Hi-high gets steady
When the high gets steady
[Verse 2: Tory Lanez]
Tory
I pulled up on you last night
I didn't know what to do last night
Pulling out you, put me to my knees, baby
I was on the D, R, U and Gs, baby
Keep it G, baby
I've been way up, hundred way up
You know what it is, whenever I come through the cake up
And you say you get this feeling with me, baby, on the real
I get the same feeling witcha, I know how you feel
So keep it G with me
'Cause this one I'mma do with ya
I'ma keep it 78 plus 22 with ya
You know what it is when I pull up in that new, new thang
Looking for a new thang, oh
[Pre-Chorus: Bebe Rexha]
We only love when our eyes get heavy
We only laugh, we only dance when the high gets steady
Yeah, we only touch when our heads get messy
We only laugh, only attach when the high gets steady
[Chorus: Bebe Rexha]
When the high gets steady
Hi-high gets steady
When the high gets steady
When the high gets steady
Hi-high gets steady
When the high gets steady
[Outro: Bebe Rexha]
We only love when our eyes get heavy
We only laugh, we only dance when the high gets steady
Yeah, we only touch when our heads get messy
We only laugh, only attach when the high gets steady
When the high gets steady
Hi-high gets steady
Wish we could love
Sober the buzz, but I'm just not steady
