Ahead of her Saturday Night Live debut tomorrow night, Saweetie has released the single “Icy Chain.” The track is produced by Dr. Luke, Rocco Did It Again!, and Lil Aaron. Find “Icy Chain” below.
Dr. Luke, who remains in a legal battle with Kesha, produced Saweetie’s Doja Cat collaboration “Best Friend,” as well as her 2020 single “Tap In.” In a recent interview with Hunter Harris for Vulture, Saweetie explained, “When I was put in the position to work with [Dr. Luke], it was a bundle deal.” She continued, “I had those songs for over two years. So what do you think? Do I compromise my artistry, do I keep them in the vault, or do I release them?”
When asked whether she’d work with Dr. Luke again—following “Tap In” and “Best Friend”—Saweetie eventually replied, “Hopefully, we keep ourselves out of any controversial situation in the future.”
“Icy Chain” is one of two new songs from Saweetie’s that’s been released today; she contributed “Attitude” to Warner Records’ Bruised (Soundtrack From and Inspired by the Netflix Film). Last week, Saweetie released “Get It Girl.”
