Omar Apollo’s already massive 2023 just got even bigger thanks to the release of the new track “3 Boys.”

The song, production for which is credited to Dylan Wiggins, arrives days after the 65th annual Grammy Awards ceremony, where Apollo was nominated for Best New Artist. According to Apollo, the track was penned “on a rainy day in London” and marks his first time writing about non-monogamous relationships.

“I spent most of December there, mostly just because I wanted to get out of America,” he said when rolling out the song on Friday. “I ended up going to the studio more than I thought I would. I wrote the song with a friend of mine, Dylan Wiggins. It seemed like we were both in the same mind state for a song like this. The song wrote itself really quickly. I also had my friend Mustafa help me with a few lines after I played it for him.”

Days after dropping the track, Apollo announced a merch collection that includes hoodies, t-shirts, sweatpants, shorts, accessories, a condom that features lyrics from his Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo-produced track “Tamagotchi,” and more.

An official lyric video for the track was also released.

Omar Apollo is serving as the special guest on SZA’s first-ever arena tour, which opened on Feb. 21 in Columbus, Ohio and wraps up with a show in Los Angeles on March 22. The SZA-supporting arena run follows last year’s wildly successful Prototype Tour, a headlining trek that was recently documented in a 13-minute documentary filmed by Kyle Mickelson.
