Cardi B will be releasing a new single titled “UP” on Friday.

The “WAP” singer made the announcement on social media, “My new single “UP” drops this Friday! LETS GOOOOOO!”.

Prior to the official announcement, she took to social media to post a series of photos and videos hyping up the announcement.

The “UP” illustration features Cardi swinging from a clear half bubble hanging from a rooftop pool dressed in a pink outfit that looks like it’s painted onto her body. In a caption for the video, Cardi explains, “This outfit was all sticker on.” 

Cardi B’s last release was “WAP”, in which she teamed up with Megan Thee Stallion. The single topped the Billboard Hot 100 in August. In December Cardi was named Billboard‘s Woman of the Year.

Cardi’s debut album Invasion of Privacy was released in 2018 and it features the singles  “I Like It” (with Bad Bunny and J Balvin), “Be Careful”, and “Ring”. Her follow up to the album is on the way, but no release date has been set.
