I’ll Be Waiting

Lenny Kravitz

I'll Be Waiting works as a pop selection rather than an automatic party anthem. This is a deeper cut for listeners who know Lenny Kravitz well. Treat it as a performance piece, not a guaranteed group singalong.

Useful detail

Performance tip

I'll Be Waiting will land more clearly if you use the short lines deliberately; clean releases will keep them from sounding disconnected. Rehearse that transition in I'll Be Waiting before worrying about stage movement.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

I'll Be Waiting is worth singing if a consistent emotional point of view comes naturally to you. Expect a clearly recurring hook and room to shape the lines without cramming them. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
