Porsche Topless |
"Porsche Topless" is a song by American musician Kid Cudi. It was first released on June 2, 2023, as the lead single for Cudi’s ninth solo album Insano (2024). The song was issued through Cudi's Wicked Awesome Records, an imprint of Republic Records.[1][2][3]
The track was produced by American music producer Bnyx, who gained prominence producing Canadian rapper Drake's 2023 hit single "Search & Rescue". Production on the song was also handled by Jean-Baptitste and Kid Cudi.[4]
Background and release
[edit]In May 2023, Kid Cudi announced that a new track titled "Flex" would be released, playing a snippet of the track out of anticipation. However, after a lukewarm reception of the track, Kid Cudi announced that he would instead be releasing a new track on June 2, 2023, which was "Porsche Topless".[4]
Upon release, streaming service Apple Music provided several incorrect lyrics for the track, which Kid Cudi requested to be fixed on Twitter, accusing them of coming up with lyrics. This would be fixed following his complaint.[5][6]
Composition
[edit]The track has been described as being a summer anthem with bouncy production and a "carefree hook".[7][8] It has also been stated as being built around a descending chord progression and melodic synth refrain, overall being a very upbeat party track.[9][8][7] Kid Cudi described the track, stating "Imagine ur floating high up in the bright blue sky on a nice warm summers day."[10]
Lyrically, it has been stated they are about the act of being grateful and celebrating life.[11]
Reception
[edit]Alexander Cole of HotNewHipHop praised the track, highlighting the synth-heavy production, also stating that Kid Cudi did "a goob job navigating it".[12]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
