Following a recent guest appearance at Bring Me The Horizon’s incredible NX_GN tour, YUNGBLUD has also been gearing up to release brand-new music.

And today the musician – real name Dominic Harrison – has unveiled his first new single of 2024, When We Die (Can We Still Get High?), featuring Lil Yachty. Speaking about finally sorting out a long-awaited collab with the Georgia rapper, YUNGBLUD says that it came about after he went to New Orleans to start working on new material – with When We Die… being one of the first things he came up with while he was there.

“Me and Yachty have been talking since 2019 and I’ve always thought we were on the same trip – fuck the rules, push things forward,” he says. “So, when I wrote the song I knew he’d add something amazing. I wanted this moment to be a collision of each other’s imagination and sound. I’m really excited about it and for what it could potentially inspire between the future of alternative and hip-hop. Press play.”
