Omarion has released an official video for his viral hit “Serious.”
In the video, Omarion plays an inmate who behaves well in prison to be released and reunites with his significant other.
It wouldn’t be an Omarion video without some choreography. In this one, he begins a dance battle in the chow hall and breaks out moves in the lineup room.
Towards the end, the video takes a more serious turn and is dedicated to Anthony “Boaner” Martinez and other men of color who have been wrongfully incarcerated.
“Serious” is a song from Omarion’s album Full Circle: Sonic Book 1, released in 2023. The track, produced by Greg Curtis, MilToneK, and Kenneth Paryo, was the second single from the album.
Recently, “Serious” gained popularity on social media and reached the No. 1 spot on iTunes’ R&B/Soul Singles and Amazon’s R&B Best Sellers charts. At this publishing, there are four different versions of it in the top 10 of the latter chart.
On Spotify, “Serious” has received nearly four million streams, making it one of his most popular songs on the platform.
Omarion released Full Circle: Sonic Book 1 in May. The 11-track project, released independently, includes the lead single “Big Vibez.”
It features guest appearances from Sevyn Streeter, RILEY (formerly known as Amber Riley), BJRNCK, Rileyy Lanez and Nah Nah.
Discussing the album, Omarion said, “There aren’t many artists who can inspire positivity. Not many people can invoke that feeling of, ‘I feel good’ or ‘I want to do something with this.’ Through this project, I’m inspiring people. This is that full-circle moment of me coming back to a place where there’s power in my vulnerability. That’s what my music means to me at this time.”
Omarion is planning to release a sequel to Full Circle: Sonic Book 1. No release date has been announced at this time.
