Cardi B hasn’t revealed too many details about her next album, but it seems like she’s actively working on it.
On Monday (July 2), the New York City native took to her Instagram Stories and shared a brief snippet from a song she hasn’t released yet. The recording quite noticeably features the superstar singing in a way unlike the material for which she is best known.

“I hope that you on your way/ Crazy ’bout you/ Waiting on you, can’t wait to sit on that face/ Focused on you,” she croons over a sample from Janet Jackson‘s “Funny How Time Flies (When You’re Having Fun)” and some Hip Hop drums.
Stamped over the video, she wrote: “Yall like this vibe for CB2?”

Earlier this year, the 31-year-old opened up about the long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s Invasion of Privacy during an interview with Rolling Stone.
She claimed that it was partially done as of March, sharing that it still needed an intro, at least three more songs, a title, features and a rollout plan.

As for what to expect on the upcoming album, she said: “[I’m] a different person every single day. When I’m in a good mood and I’m with my friends, [I’m] like, ‘Damn, I want my shit to be played in this club.’ But then I might be mad with my man, so it’s like now I want to do this song. But then I want to do a pop record. I want to do my sing-y shit.”
The “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker previously assured fans that a new album would be dropping in 2024, which would mark six years since the release of her record-breaking debut album.
Prior to the interview, she took to social media and revealed that she had tons of songs recorded, including some from back in 2023.
“January 2023 ….I really got like 100 songs,” she captioned the Instagram video, which showed a screen full of tracks for a song labeled “Cunty” that were all recorded in late January of last year.

“January 27 of 20-20-fuckin’-three. I be working on this shit at 5 a.m. — you know I’m a night owl,” she said. “I promise y’all this year: I’m not letting my anxiety, I’m not letting what haters say, I’m not letting what fans say… If I do a song, Imma just fuckin’ drop it.
“Well, I got no choice, because I’m dropping my album this year, so stay tuned for the announcement.”
