Kylie Jenner has officially entered the music scene as the breathy vocalist featured on a new single by Terror Jr called “Fourth Strike.” The single is a continuation of Terror Jr’s song “Three Strikes,” which was featured in an ad campaign for the launch of Kylie Cosmetics lip glosses nearly a decade ago.
To celebrate that milestone, Jenner was featured in “Fourth Strike” and sings a small snippet at the end of the song. “One strike, two strike, let me get the mood right,” Jenner sings and raps in the song’s bridge — “Do it on purpose just to see how it ends.” She ends her verse by whispering her purported artist name, “King Kylie.”

The song is used in a new commercial for Kylie Cosmetics that leans into the teal-tinted visuals of “King Kylie” — the edgy alter ego Jenner launched back in 2014, the same year she began to conceptualize her beauty company. Over the weekend, Jenner announced that she’s re-launching some of her signature Kylie Cosmetics products from that timeframe under the “King Kylie” banner.
In the commercial, Jenner shows off her acting chops, playing a prisoner who has been just been released. Her mother, Kris Jenner, picks her up in a black convertible, and the pair drive off into the sunset.
“This King Kylie Collection is truly for you!!!” Jenner wrote in an Instagram post. “You’re the reason my biggest cosmetic dreams came true, and I wouldn’t be here 10 years later! without your support.”
Terror Jr consists of singer Lisa Vitale and David “Campa” Benjamin Singer-Vine (Felix Snow left the group in late 2017). The first song that the group released was “Three Strikes,” which they debuted in the Kylie Cosmetics lip gloss commercial. At the time, few people new who Terror Jr were, and their image encouraged that approach as there were no faces or names attached to the music.
Several fans assumed Jenner was the main vocalist, though Jenner shut down the rumors via Snapchat, stating that she was not involved in the music. The group revealed their identities after the release of their debut EP, “Bop City,” in late 2016.
Fans will soon be seeing more of Jenner’s acting when she appears in Charli xcx‘s upcoming A24 film “The Moment.” Directed by frequent Charli collaborator Aidan Zamiri, “The Moment” stars Jenner, alongside Alexander Skarsgard, Rachel Sennott, Shygirl and more.
