"Loyal" is a song by American singer Chris Brown, released as the fourth single from his sixth studio album X (2014). Produced by Nic Nac and Mark Kragen, the song features American rapper Lil Wayne and another American rapper depending on a specific version: Tyga on the album version, French Montana on the East Coast version, and Too $hort on the West Coast version. The song was written by Brown, Wayne, Bobby Brackins, Ty Dolla $ign, and the producers, as well as different interpolative-credited artists, varying for each respective version.
"Loyal" received praise from critics, that commended its musicality and unapologetic lyrical content. The song became the highest charting song off the X album, peaking at number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100. It stayed on the chart for 36 weeks. Among the certifications it gained, it was most notably certified 6× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), 3× Platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), and 2× Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). The song was promoted with performances by Brown and Lil Wayne at the BET Awards 2014, Summer Jam, 2014 Soul Train Music Awards, and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Background and theme
Producer Nic Nac and American R&B singer Ty Dolla $ign, started the work of the song, creating the beat and a first version of the hook.{{cite web | url=https://www.complex.com/music/a/david-drake/interview-nic-nac-producer-chris-brown-loyal | title=Interview: Producer Nic Nac Talks About the Making of the Other Song of the Summer, Chris Brown's "Loyal" | website=Complex Networks }} Nic Nac's manager played that unfinished demo for Chris Brown's manager, then Brown heard it and immediately decided to create a song off of it. Talking about the making of "Loyal", Brown said: “Nic Nac and Ty Dolla Sign came with a couple concepts for it, and wrote the pre-demo before I finished the record off”.{{cite web | url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BH71mjrv97s | title=MC 100: Chris Brown on "Loyal" | website=YouTube | date=29 December 2014 }}

Critical reception
The song was met with positive reviews. Brad Wete of Billboard praised the track for its "anthemic" hook, and "playful" instrumental.{{Cite magazine |last=Wete |first=Brad |date=2014-09-15 |title=Chris Brown, 'X': Track-by-Track Review |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/chris-brown-x-track-by-track-review-6251517/ |access-date=2024-02-28 |magazine=Billboard |language=en-US}} The Guardian said that "Loyal" exemplifies how "Brown’s amorality, trust issues and joyless acquisitiveness have occasionally made for unwittingly spellbinding songs".{{Cite news |last=Beaumont-Thomas |first=Ben |date=2017-10-31 |title=45 songs by Chris Brown, anyone?

Just like Chris Brown", stating that it "could only be made by someone who is so deeply imperfect, that you take everything he's saying to heart", adding that "if you look past the glossy veneer of misandry, you see that the song acts as a cautionary tale for men who are foolish enough to try to pursue the same women that will run into Chris Brown at some point in their lives".
HotNewHipHop called the track a "worthy addition to the impressive body of work Chris Brown has been developing over the years".{{Cite web |last=Lilah |first=Rose |date=2013-12-16 |title=Loyal |url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/552209-chris-brown-loyal-feat-lil-wayne-french-montana-new-song |access-date=2024-02-28 |website=HotNewHipHop |language=en}} Complex defined “Loyal” a "catchy" track "drenched in ego and materialism".{{cite web|url=http://www.complex.com/music/2014/09/chris-brown-x-review|title=Chris Brown's 'X' Is Bitter Progress|work=Complex|last=Arceneaux|first=Michael|date=September 16, 2014|access-date=September 30, 2014|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006074023/http://www.complex.com/music/2014/09/chris-brown-x-review|archive-date=October 6, 2014}} HipHopDX found Nic Nac's production on the song to be similar to DJ Mustard's production style.{{cite web|url=https://hiphopdx.com/reviews/id.2343/title.chris-brown-x |title=Chris Brown – X |work=HipHopDX|last=Dowling|first=Marcus|date=September 15, 2014|access-date=July 2, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160421191256/https://hiphopdx.com/reviews/id.2343/title.chris-brown-x|archive-date=April 21, 2016}} XXL called it a "record-breaking" song, finding it to be an "up-tempo" and "dance driven record".{{cite web|url=http://www.xxlmag.com/rap-music/reviews/2014/09/chris-brown-x-album-review/|title=Chris Brown Delivers Standout Hits On 'X'|work=XXL|last=Johnson|first=Miranda|date=September 16, 2014|access-date=September 24, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140920004310/http://www.xxlmag.com/rap-music/reviews/2014/09/chris-brown-x-album-review/|archive-date=September 20, 2014}} The Los Angeles Times affirmed that on the song Brown "pairs his coarsest, most mean-spirited thoughts", praising "Loyal" for its "sleekest, most irresistible beats".{{Cite web |date=2014-09-16 |title=Review: Chris Brown plays it both ways on long-delayed 'X' |url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/posts/la-et-ms-review-chris-brown-plays-it-both-ways-on-x-20140915-story.html |access-date=2024-02-28 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}} Stereogum, while reviewing Brown's X album, highlighted the song, saying that "the glaringly hypocritical yet musically brilliant “Loyal” still makes me feel terrible for losing myself in its playful neon twirls".{{Cite web |date=2014-09-18 |title=The Week In Pop: Are You Ready For Some Chris Brown?
