Bobby Brown admitted wrong doing in his new track dedicated to Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston’s ex-husband Bobby Brown has released a new song titled Don’t Let Me Die, a tribute to his former wife.

Debuting the track on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Bobby Brown, 43, appeared emotional as he sang through the lyrics, all whilst wearing a pair of sunglasses onstage.

In the track Bobby Brown seemingly admits some kind of wrong doing, singing how he “messed up pretty bad”.

“I guess I messed up pretty bad … I didn’t know who you were … I didn’t know what we had. Now I’m stuck living in the past …trying to get the pieces back … but I guess now you’re gone,” he sang.

“I didn’t realize that every breath I took was from you … You were my air.”

The new track will be featured on Bobby Brown’s new album The Masterpiece, which will be released on June 5.

It is the first album he has recorded since his 1997 LP Forever.

It comes after Bobby Brown hit back at claims last month that he was responsible for introducing his former wife to the drugs, which played a part in her untimely death.

“I didn’t get high [on narcotics] before I met Whitney,” Bobby Brown told The Today Show’s Matt Lauer.

“I smoked weed, I drank the beer, but no, I wasn’t the one that got Whitney on drugs at all.”

He said drugs were a part of the singer’s life “way way before” they got together. Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown married in 1993 and had daughter Bobbi Kristina, now 19-years-old, before divorcing in 2007.

Bobby Brown added: “It’s just unexplainable how one could, [say that I] got her addicted to drugs. I’m not the reason she’s gone.”
