First announced on Brian’s Twitter just three days before its release, “Sydney” is Rich Brian’s first single of 2021 under his usual management label 88rising.

Under a self-produced funky electro-synth beat and minimal percussion, Brian raps about his viral success and burgeoning clout as an up-and-coming celebrity. The song title and chorus both reference Sydney, where he sold out several shows as part of his The Sailor Australia and New Zealand Tour in August 2019.

This is the second song released by Rich Brian named after an Australian town, the first being the emotive and dreamy “Gold Coast.” Evidently, Australia is a significant country to Brian.
