Chris Brown Tries to Win His Girl Back in “Anyway” Video

Chris Brown is set to drop his third studio album in two years this Friday when Royalty hits shelves, but before then, Breezy's got yet another video from the album. "Anyway" features Tayla Parx, one of the album's few guest spots, and puts CB in that dance R&B meets house space that he's occupied so well and frequently over recent years.

The video itself is a case of reclaiming the one who got away, as Brown's love interest ignores his calls and even takes a date with another man. As things reach their conclusion, Brown is able to win her back, but the video closes with an odd sequence in which the singer punches the other would-be man in the face. Considering Brown's history with violence and short fuses, the portrayed act is questionable at best. Wouldn't walking away demonstrate a greater sense of reform? Even the female lead in the video asks Brown why he'd do such a thing.

Royalty drops this Friday Dec. 18 with lead singles "Liquor" and "Fine By Me."
