Lil Yachty and Steve Aoki have reunited on “Pretender”—an upbeat single assisted by indie pop trio AJR.
Aoki announced the track, which arrived Thursday night, nearly one month ago on social media and has since previewed the record during live shows.
I look happy in every picture
Just so you'd think I am I never say no to pictures
Because that's just the person I am
In high school, I was tryna figure myself out
I was tryna be just like him
Tryna do things I don't usually do
I'm pretending to be too cool
“Pretender” is a catchy song with a nice mix of the electronic, pop, and rap genres. Aoki provides the infectious, atmospheric beat; AJR takes care of the chorus; and Lil Boat handles the final verse, rapping:
You can listen to “Pretender” now on Apple Music/iTunes as well as Spotify.
The track is expected to appear on Aoki’s long-awaited studio album Neon Future III.
