“New N3on” (originally dubbed “Neon”) is the 13th track on Playboi Carti’s sophomore studio album, Whole Lotta Red.
The song is the fourth officially released collaboration between Carti and Philadelphia-based producer Maaly Raw, following “Left Right” with Lil Uzi Vert, “Of Course We Ghetto Flowers” with Lil Uzi Vert and Offset, and “Shoota,” in order of recording.
Maaly Raw created and previewed the instrumental for this song in an Instagram live video in late 2018.
Carti first previewed and performed the song in Seattle on the first stop of his 2018 North American tour, the “Neon Tour.” Additionally, Carti took to Instagram to tease the song on his story.
An early version of “Neon” leaked online on May 29, 2019. Following this, Carti recorded new bars for the song, and an open verse was added.
On September 29, 2019, at Rolling Loud Bay Area, Carti announced that “Neon” was being considered to be placed on Whole Lotta Red.
The second version of “Neon,” featuring a few different lines, different mixing, and an open verse, leaked on November 2, 2019. However, the second version was abandoned and the first version was released on Whole Lotta Red with an updated mix.
“New N3on” debuted at #92 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the chart week of January 9, 2021.
