Young Thug has given fans a taste of new music at a pivotal moment in his career. On September 8, the Atlanta rapper posted a 20-second snippet of a track titled “Tears” to his Instagram Story. The preview arrives just days after old jail call recordings from his YSL RICO case resurfaced online, sparking renewed backlash and debate across social media.
The short clip, produced by longtime collaborator London on da Track, highlights Thug’s signature melodic, auto-tuned flow over a subdued trap beat layered with piano keys and airy synths. The Instagram upload also revealed details such as the track’s creation date, March 11, 2025, and a total runtime of 2 minutes and 21 seconds. The song is rumored to appear on his long-teased fourth studio album, UY Scuti.

While the project has yet to receive a release date, Thug has hinted at its arrival throughout 2025, teasing collaborations with Future and Metro Boomin. Notably, “Tears” stands in sharp contrast to the raw disses that defined his recently leaked track “Closing Arguments.”
The snippet’s timing is striking, given Thug’s evolving stance toward his former YSL associates—particularly Gunna. Only days earlier, the rapper admitted on the Perspektives With Bank podcast that he no longer feels hatred toward his onetime collaborator, despite the fallout from Gunna’s plea deal in the YSL RICO case. “I love you bruh… I poured so much into him, I can’t even hate him,” Thug said. The statement marked a notable shift from his leaked music, where he branded Gunna a “rat.”
