Last week, H.E.R. debuted "I Can't Breathe," a powerful new track written in the wake of the recent senseless deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor at the hands of police brutality. She delivered a moving performance during an iHeartRadio Living Room concert, and on Juneteenth, the singer officially released the single on buying and streaming platforms.
