Kid Cudi‘s new album era is officially here, and he’s kicking things off with a teaser of the lead single.
Taking to X on Wednesday (April 30), the Cleveland native revealed the song’s title is “NEVERLAND,” and included a brief visual – though he didn’t share a snippet.
“Pre save NEVERLAND, my first single from my new album, NOW! At http://kidcudi.com,” he wrote with a ferris wheel emoji.
When you head to the site, a countdown reveals the song will arrive next Friday, May 9.

Last month, Kid Cudi shared that he’s going to create some exclusive listening experiences in select cities for the new album.
“Hey fam. I see the excitement. I have an idea. I wanna get 10 fans in a room to hear my first 2 singles and then afterward, we interview u and u tell us what u heard. Plannin on it this month,” he wrote. “Ill be listening w u so u meet me and we chill and vibe out.”
The cities he plans to activate this in are New York, Los Angeles and his hometown of Cleveland.
In an interview with Hube in March, Cudi shared some information about the upcoming album. It came up after a question about what “makes a collaborative project successful.”
“This new direction that I’m taking with my album has been exciting for me because I put myself in an uncomfortable situation to achieve it,” he said. “When I first started making this album, I didn’t know if I would even be able to sing at the level I needed to in order for it to be executed in the right way. Working on these songs, collaborating with the writers and producers, and building songs from the ground up—it did something for me as an artist.
“I haven’t created like this in a long time. It’s been years. With my last few projects, I was getting beats from different people and building an album that way, but there is something about being in a room and creating something from scratch—from a simple hum—it’s so fulfilling.
“I proved to myself that I was able to accomplish it when I finished it. I had to take a step back to realize, ‘Wow, that was so outside of my comfort zone.’”
The album will follow 2024’s Insano (Nitro Mega).
Does anyone like this dude honestly he’s not talanted.
Only the editors here
I mean, the first album was fire, but holy shit has he ever fallen off ever since. Just trash since then basically.
At least last 3 albums been wack so no, not anymore. Oh, and his documentary is basically an hour of him kissing his own. Disliked him after that.
Love Ye but this dude is trash he and John Legend and that white guy from forver young signed some trash. Big Sean was mid. Travis Scott and Hit Boy I guess Q Tip too were the best parts of GOOD Music. Pusha had moments but also not the greatest. Young Chop, Sosa, and Durk were important just never signed by them just pushes by Ye with Don’t Like remix leading to the Chiraq scene getting exposure lime Durk getting signed and now look at him.
He and Dan both ruined Amanda Bynes. Lock him up! Creepo all these suburb black woke people.
