Hrs and Hrs

Muni Long came up with the song one night when she was washing dishes. To pass time, she searched for beats on YouTube and played them. She came across an R&B beat which she immediately started freestyling to and began writing the song to the beat. According to Long, it took about 20 minutes. The next day, she went to the recording studio with songwriter Kuk Harrell, and recorded the song there.{{Cite web|last=Mowatt|first=Robyn|date=January 28, 2022|title=Muni Long Was a Pop Songwriter – Then She Bet on Herself as a Solo R&B Act|url=https://www.okayplayer.com/originals/muni-long-hrs-and-hrs-tiktok-interview.html|website=Okayplayer}}{{Cite magazine|last=Mamo|first=Heran|date=February 1, 2022|title=Chartbreaker: Muni Long's 'Hrs and Hrs' Came From Years and Years of Hard Work|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/muni-long-hrs-and-hrs-tik-tok-february-2022-chartbreaker-interview-1235025762/|magazine=Billboard}} Initially, Long did not plan to include the song on her EP Public Displays of Affection, but it became a last-minute addition to the project.

Shortly after, actress Bre-Z (a friend of Long's) and her fiancé Chris made a video of their relationship, accompanied by the song. Weeks later, in December 2021, Long posted the video on TikTok. It quickly went viral and the "Hrs and Hrs Challenge" was soon launched; the challenge was popular among the LGBT community, who thought the song meant "Hers and Hers". In January 2022, the song entered multiple Billboard charts, and helped Long move to number one on the Billboard Emerging Artists chart.

"Hrs and Hrs" is an R&B ballad containing "swoon-worthy, bass-thumping production" by Dylan Graham and Ralph Tiller. It finds Muni Long singing about her willingness to do certain things with her loved one for hours.{{Cite magazine|last=Aniftos|first=Rania|date=January 27, 2022|title=Here Are the Lyrics to Muni Long's 'Hrs and Hrs'|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/lyrics/muni-long-hrs-and-hrs-lyrics-1235024281/|magazine=Billboard}}

Elias Leight of Rolling Stone wrote, "There's not much that's dry and bland about Renea's 'Hrs and Hrs', a decadent R&B ballad — shot through with honeyed, high-wire runs, acrobatic ad-libs, and references to three different kinds of showers (champagne, thunder, traditional) — that went viral over the holidays."

A remix of the song featuring American singer August Alsina was released in 2021.{{Cite web|last=Zidel|first=Alex|date=December 29, 2021|title=Muni Long & August Alsina Sound Incredible Together On "Hrs & Hrs"|url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/muni-long-and-august-alsina-sound-incredible-together-on-hrs-and-hrs-new-song.1993655.html|website=HotNewHipHop}} Another remix featuring American singer Usher was released in 2023.{{cite web |last1=Abraham |first1=Mya |title=Muni Long Confirms Mariah Carey's 'Made For Me' Remix Is On The Way |url=https://www.vibe.com/music/music-news/muni-long-mariah-carey-made-for-me-remix-preview-1234877394/ |website=Vibe |access-date=August 29, 2024 |date=May 9, 2024}}
