Two of the 2024’s biggest breakout stars have lent each other a hand for a new springtime single.

Five-time Grammy nominee Shaboozey and Brit Award-winning Myles Smith have joined forces for “Blink Twice,” an infectious, folk-inflected track built on twangy finger-picked guitars, pounding drums and raucous stomps and claps. “Oh me, oh my, would you look in my eyes/ We’ll laugh or cry just to feel alive/ Oh-woah-woah, no time for living a lie/ Oh-woah-woah, time flies, so don’t blink twice,” they sing together in the chorus. The track also arrives alongside a pensive, tear-jerking music video.


“Blink Twice” marks Shaboozey’s first musical release after his blockbuster past year. In addition to his dual appearances on Beyoncé‘s three-time Grammy-winning Cowboy Carter LP, the Billboard cover star scored the longest-running solo Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single of all time with “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which spent a whopping 17 weeks atop the ranking. While “A Bar Song” continues to hang around the Hot 100’s top five — it sits at No. 4 on the chart dated April 12 — “Good News,” which he released last fall, ranks at No. 51, having previously peaked at No. 47.

Smith, who won the Brit Rising Star Award last month (March 1), also appears on the Hot 100 with his own “Stargazing,” which peaked at No. 19 and spent one week atop Pop Airplay. Earlier this year (Feb. 14), he teamed up with Grammy-winning country star Lainey Wilson for a new version of “Nice to Meet You,” which reached No. 13 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs.

This month, Shaboozey will perform at both Coachella (April 11-13, 18-20) and Stagecoach (April 25-27), cementing his status as one of music’s biggest crossover acts.
