On March 27, 2024, Hemmings announced a scavenger hunt in NYC to find a “new tune”. A one-of-a-kind cassette tape with the words “Close My Eyes” written on the cover was hidden in the city. Approximately 30 minutes later, it was found, later that same day the fan who found the cassette posted a snippet of the audio.
The next day, on March 28th, Hemmings announced that the song will be coming out April 5th; marking the second single for his upcoming EP boy.
