As first teased on a befitting image of a church sign, Lil Uzi Vert has indeed linked up with Bring Me the Horizon and Daryl Palumbo of Glassjaw for a new track.
Titled “AmEN!,” the song—the cover art for which was designed by @alissic—opens with BMTH’s Oli Sykes urging someone to “have fun rotting in hell.” Uzi joins the mayhem in the second verse, reflecting on “fanatics” who “prey” and “hate” on them. Like Oli in the opening lines, Uzi has some firm advice for such people:
“Get your head from out of my ass/Got me feeling like a human centipede
Just let me breathe/Stay the fuck away from me”
All three voices careen in and out of the mix in the track’s bridge and outro, landing on a closing hit that’s followed by Uzi remarking, “That’s really cool.”

The track’s unveiling was further commemorated with a live debut of the song during a BMTH tour stop in Budapest on Thursday, as seen below.

As fellow longtime fans will note, Uzi’s affinity for a variety of rock subgenres is well-documented. Before rolling out their BMTH and Glassjaw collab, they joined Hayley Williams of Paramore at Madison Square Garden for some "Misery Business" action. Uzi, of course, has long cited Hayley as being massively influential on their work.
"Tonight you have the honor and the privilge of witnessing the one and only Lil Uzi Vert," Hayley told the audience at the band's show earlier this week when welcoming Uzi to the stage. "Give it up for Uzi!"
From there, Hayley noted this was their first time meeting in person, although they've been in contact for some time now.
"You've said too many nice things about me," Hayley told them. "You are so sweet."
See the full moment below, including Uzi and Hayley bringing their voices together for the classic track's bridge.
