More Stalk Ashley songs

“Stay With Me” – Stalk Ashley & Sean Paul (2024)

The obvious first stop: the slower, more tender duet from Stalky the Bratt that “Ready for the Ride” follows up, so you can hear how the pair’s dynamic has grown.

“Really Like U” – Stalk Ashley x Skillibeng (2024)

Her smooth melodies against a deejay’s gruff flow make this her other big duet, and it earned a Dancehall Collaboration of the Year nomination at the 2025 Caribbean Music Awards.

“Big Vibes” – Stalk Ashley & Valiant (2024)

Another duet from the same album, reuniting her with Valiant, her partner on “Narcissistic” (all their songs together).

“HEAT” – KJ Spio, KiDi & Stalk Ashley (2025)

Sean Paul duets with the same chemistry

“I’m Still in Love with You” – Sean Paul feat. Sasha

From his 2002 album Dutty Rock, this classic romantic duet with Jamaican singer Sasha reached No. 6 in the UK.

“(When You Gonna) Give It Up to Me” – Sean Paul feat. Keyshia Cole (2006)

“Rolling” – Sean Paul & Shenseea (2017)

Almost ten years before this link-up, Sean Paul shared a single with another rising Jamaican woman artist, with the same easy back-and-forth.

“Lying If I Call It Love” – Shenseea feat. Sean Paul (2022)

Here the roles flip: he guests on her debut album Alpha, adding his voice to a relationship song led by a woman.

“Push 2 Start (Remix)” – Tyla & Sean Paul (2025)

Released on Valentine’s Day 2025, this remix of Tyla’s amapiano-tinged hit samples his own “I’m Still in Love with You”, making it the closest recent match for the global sound of “Ready for the Ride”.

A mellow, melodic cut from Popcaan’s album FIXTAPE, for when you want the smooth side of the song more than the bounce.

A Jamaican deejay and a Nigerian singer on a song about keeping a relationship together, from Masicka’s album Generation of Kings.
