"Tone It Down" is a song by American rapper Gucci Mane, featuring American singer Chris Brown. It was released on June 20, 2017. The song was written by Mane and Brown, and produced by Cardiak & Hitmaka.
"Tone It Down" was released about a month after he dropped the commercial mixtape Droptopwop. Mane and Brown had collaborated on previous releases like Brown's hit single "Party" co-starring Usher, Mane's b-side "MoonWalk" co-starring Akon, and "Ms. Breezy" off Brown's 2010 mixtape In My Zone 2.
The song is based on a flute-driven production from Cardiak & Hitmaka. Lyrically the track has Gucci reminding the people around him that he is not messing around, and that whatever kind of foolishness they're pulling needs to end. "Hold up lil homie tone it down/'Cause the jewelry that you're rockin' is for kids/I'm a grown up," the rapper insists in his first verse.
