Victoria Monét released her single “Coastin'” on August 5, and it’s the perfect summer soundtrack. “Coastin'” is the second single from the singer-songwriter, who dropped “F.U.C.K” back in February of this year. 

On August 2, Monét posted a teaser of “Coastin'” to Instagram. Fans immediately fell in love with the track’s ’70s vibe and relaxing vocals.

The clip featured hazy clouds and high-reaching palm trees, the ideal setting for a long drive or a trip to the beach during summer. Naturally, the song delivered on those same feelings.

“If sunshine and a good time (and maybe a lil drank) were a song, it would be ‘Coastin.’ It’s made for people with that good, chill energy and the bassline instantly puts you in a certain feel,” Monét shared in a press release.

Monét shared that being stuck indoors and craving excitement in 2020 is what inspired the track. To be able to ‘coast’ along without worries is to be free, which “Coastin'” explores.

“After the year we’ve had, it feels even better to be able to finally coast freely, make unforgettable memories and have a good ass time,” Monét added in the press release.

Monét’s debut album “Jaguar” was released almost a year ago. She has previously acted as a songwriter for artists like Diddy-Dirty Money and Ariana Grande. But over time, Monét has created a legacy for her genre-bending music that’s both empowering and lustful. 

Don’t mind us—we’ll just be listening to “Coastin'” on repeat until Monét shares more music.
