iLoveMakonnen has shared a new song with Lil Peep called “Sunlight on Your Skin.” It’s an earlier version of the XXXTentacion collaboration “Falling Down,” which was released last week. Listen to the track below.
In an interview with XXL, Makonnen said that he and Peep wrote “Sunlight on Your Skin” together in London in 2017. “My manager called me one day when me and Lil Peep were in the hotel and was asking what we were doing,” he said. “And it was like, ‘Nothing, it’s raining. You know we’re just chillin’.’ And he’s like, ‘OK, well go write a song about the rain.’ And so were like, ‘OK, let’s go do that,’ and me and Lil Peep started working on that.”
Makonnen also explained what he perceives as the difference between “Sunlight on Your Skin” and “Falling Down”: “The difference is that me and Peep’s version is we were kinda talking to each other, answering each other. X’s version is kinda, it’s the same, but kind of honoring and bigging up Peep. It was a tribute type of thing, and I’m being a part of the song. X did his parts after Peep passed away.”
