The world’s highest paid DJ has teased the upbeat track on Instagram and Snapchat since January. And on Tuesday, he revealed the song’s title, credits, and cover art on Twitter. It’s currently unclear exactly when the song will be released.
The collaboration marks a rare appearance for Ocean and his first new music since the release of last year’s albums Endless and Blonde.
