“2024” was recorded on December 10, 2023, releasing to YouTube with an accompanying music video four days later. It marks the second promotional single of Playboi Carti’s third studio album, Music, preceded by “Different Day.”

Carti begins this track similar to its predecessor, with his signature high-pitched vocal tone. As the track progresses, however, he eventually adopts a grimier, deeper tone, which he officially unveiled with his guest appearance on Travis Scott’s “FE!N.”

Shortly before this song’s release, Carti took to Instagram to post a story featuring Opium affiliate Blackhaine, revealing the 9:30 PM Eastern Standard Time release.
