Pink Tape is Lil Uzi Vert’s third full-length studio album following their July 2022 EP, RED & WHITE — two colors when mixed create pink. The album marks Uzi’s first in three years and was released on June 30, 2023, just one week after National Pink Day.
The album was first teased by Uzi themself in December 2020 during a two-hour-long Instagram Live in which they previewed unreleased music and revealed they would be dropping a mixtape exclusively on SoundCloud. This is no longer the case. It is expected to feature new songs as well as old, unreleased songs requested by fans.
Uzi announced the mixtape’s title in an Instagram post on July 16, 2021. The title might be a reference to the $24 million pink diamond they had pierced into their forehead in February 2021.
On October 9, 2021, while attending a friend’s wedding, Uzi revealed to a fan that the tape would be released before Halloween.
On December 2, 2021, Uzi appeared on a live stream with Kai Cenat, in which they confirmed that the album would be completed the same night.
Following the release of “Just Wanna Rock”, the album’s lead single, Philadelphia native DJ Drama suggested that the album is in its final stages while noting over 680 songs were contenders for the album’s tracklist.
In June 2023, Uzi noted that the album would be released the same month. On the 17th of the month, Uzi took to Instagram to post an alternate cover art to the project.
Through an Instagram live on June 18 with Kai Cenat, Uzi shared updates regarding the rollout and tracklisting of the album as they noted that the tracklist would feature twenty-seven songs consisting of “Just Wanna Rock”, and two bonus songs
They also announced that the cover art would release in “a couple of days” and that the tracklist would release “this week,” while confirming the release date of June 30. When asked by Kai about the features on the awaited album
On June 26, 2023, Uzi released the Gibson Hazard-directed trailer for the album to build anticipation leading up to it.
Days prior to the album’s official announcement, Uzi threw an album release party — which they named “The Pink Tape Prom” — in which they previewed several tracks from the project.
On the night of the project’s release, the album’s tracklist was prematurely previewed through Tidal, revealing to fans the official tracklist. The tracklist showed features from BABYMETAL, Bring Me The Horizon, Don Toliver, Nicki Minaj, and Travis Scott.
