- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
This one’s getting added to our “Getting Ready for the Club” playlist. On Friday, Saweetie debuted the sunny, catchy single “Nani,” which she’s been teasing for weeks.
“‘Nabu’ isn’t just a track; it’s the soundtrack to a good time,” Saweetie said in a press release. “This track gives main character energy! This single has been a labor of love, and it’s just the beginning. I’ve been working on this new music for a while, and I’m excited to share more of this journey with you.”

The video captures the musician combing her hair before a pool party, twerking in a pull, and doing choreo to her radio-ready track at a badie-filled party. In the lyrics, Saweetie celebrates her glamorous lifestyle.
“Plane. Sprinter. Glam. To the club backdoor. Section. Shots. Another club,” she raps referencing that one viral Lady Gaga interview. “Two shows. One night. What’s that? A hunnid plus. Whole room full of bad bitches, it’s a lot of us.”
Leading up to the drop, Saweetie shared mini-teasers of “Nani” with different clips from the song. “We gon’ fuck up the summer,” she wrote in one post, revealing the single’s cover art.
During a single release event at Alo Yoga Headquarters, the musician previewed four new songs, including one that samples Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby.”
The track follows her luxury-manifesting track “Richtivities” — around the time of the song’s release, she graced the cover of Allure and shared details about why she hasn’t dropped her long-teased Pretty Bitch Music album — or any album, for that matter.
“I just feel like nobody was caring about my music,” Saweetie said, referring to the people surrounding her. “To me, music is sacred. It’s coming from your spirit. You can’t just go finish an album in a week. That’s why it’s taking me so long. That’s why I haven’t dropped an album yet.”
She also spoke about holding herself to an ultra-high standard in everything she does.
“As an artist, the frequency changes. The music I created up until now, in three months I could listen to it and I could be like, ‘I’m not that girl anymore,’” she said. For what’s coming, she teased: “The theme is just Saweetie.”
