Rich Brian has also recently released a new single titled “Bali” which he did in collaboration with Guapdad 4000, inspired by the tourist favorite Indonesian destination.

“Bali is an island in Indonesia, it’s a very touristy area and very beautiful — people go there to experience nature, surfing, night life, just paradise for a few days,” he told Billboard about the song. “Every time I’ve gone there it’s been a lot of fun. Not every song has to have a super-deep meaning, but with every song I’m trying to let people get to know me. Even if this is a really feel-good song, you listen to it and you’re getting to know who I am. I really wanted to put that into the verses.”

He also teased that he’s been making a lot of music while in quarantine which can potentially lead to a new EP. He gave no promises, but we’re hoping that it does!
