    "Powerglide" is a single by American

    EarDrummers and Interscope Records as the third single from their third studio album SR3MM (2018).[1][2] The song is written by the artists alongside producers Mally Mall, Jean-Marie Horvat, and Mike Will Made It.[3] The song features guest vocals from American rapper Juicy J
    (although he is notably cut from the radio edit).

    Background

    The song was released alongside two other singles from SR3MM,

    Side 2 Side", featuring Mafia member Juicy J.[7] They were able to get Juicy J involved after a run-in at a party. Juicy expressed an interest in collaboration and went to the studio. He sent his part back, and as Swae says, "wrecked it."[8]

    Music video

    A music video for "Powerglide" was released on March 12, 2018.[9] In the visual, the rappers perform the track up on a parking structure rooftop as cars burn rubber, do donuts and get "lit up" by overhead helicopters. Producer Mike Will Made It makes a cameo appearance in the video.[10]
