Megan Thee Stallion has released her newest song, “Pressurelicious,” just as expected. It includes guest vocals from Future.
Megan has been giving sneak peeks at the single since last month. However, she officially revealed the release date and single art on Wednesday on her social media handles.
The song has HitKidd as producer and dropped three hours ahead of a usual midnight release: “since it already leaked lol,” Megan elaborated.
In a cover story interview with Rolling Stone, Megan talked about her next album and teased “Pressurelicious” for the first time, talking about Future’s contribution to the new single.
“He’s just so fucking ratchet!” Megan said in the interview with Rolling Stone’s Mankaprr Conteh.
“He is unapologetically himself. I appreciate that about anybody who gets up and has to do anything in the public eye. Anybody who has to read about their life online every day and deal with so many energies and can put it out into their music and do it gracefully, I feel like you deserve your flowers,” Megan further said.
In April, Megan performed at Coachella in Indio, California, for the first time, in which she announced a new song while on stage. She revealed the track “Plan B” not long after it and dropped a music video with Casey Cadwallader and John Miserendino as directors.
The 27-year-old rapper has also been honored with her own day in her birthplace, Houston, where she was given the key to the city.
She also recently plunged among many artists who expressed their protest during their shows about the revocation of Roe v. Wade.
