The singer finds herself locked up in her Teyana Taylor-directed music video.

It's not like Monica is asking for much. Today, the singer dropped the visual for her single "Commitment," a song where she details the simple things that she needs from a relationship. You know, like a little time, a little affection, someone who knows how to sacrifice, and some good sex. The Teyana Taylor-directed music video begins with Monica finding her man out on a date with another woman. It's implied that she shoots him, as the remainder of the visual shows her making a new life for herself from behind bars.

Joining Monica in her Orange is the New Black-inspired scenes is her best friend and T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle co-star Tiny Harris along with Summerella and Big Peaches as Monica's jail mates. "Commitment" is said to be a single from Monica's forthcoming Chapter 38 album, a record that will be her first independent release under her MonDeenise Music, Inc imprint.
