iLoveMakonnen announced on Aug. 18 that he would release a collaborative track he co-wrote with late artists Lil Peep and XXXTentacion. The song, which was originally called “Sunlight on Your Skin,” arrived to streaming services on Sept. 19, titled “Falling Down.” The track connects the artists posthumously, as Lil Peep died in November from an accidental drug overdose and XXXTentacion was fatally shot in June.
Both artists’ talents live on, as their hit “Falling Down” continues to climb the charts. Check out the lyrics and video below.
‘Ko, let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down
Yo let’s do that song for Peep
Sunlight on your skin when I’m not around
Shit don’t feel the same when you’re out of town
So ‘Ko, let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down, yeah
‘Ko, let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down (falling down)
Sunlight on your skin when I’m not around (I’m not around)
Shit don’t feel the same when you’re out of town (out of town)
(Ooh, ooh)
So ‘Ko, let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down
(Ooh, ooh)
Rain keeps falling, tears keep falling
Rain keeps falling, tears keep falling
Darling, your love is like walking a bed of nails
And I just can’t keep on fighting
‘Ko, let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down (falling down)
(Ooh, ooh)
Sunlight on your skin when I’m not around (I’m not around)
(Ooh, ooh)
Shit don’t feel the same when you’re out of town
(Ooh, ooh)
So ‘Ko, let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down
(Ooh, ooh)
His name will live, brother
Bro, I got, I feel hella shitty because it’s like, yo
Like, if I would have known he was so cool
And it’s like, yo, if I would have watched interviews sooner, bro, we were so alike
It’s unfortunate because it’s like, yo, when people die, that’s when you’re there, you know?
‘Cause your remorse kinda makes you check ’em out
Darling, your love is like walking a bed of nails
And I just can’t keep on fighting
‘Ko, let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down (falling down)
(Ooh, ooh)
Sunlight on your skin when I’m not around (I’m not around)
(Ooh, ooh)
Shit don’t feel the same when you’re out of town (out of town)
(Ooh, ooh)
‘Ko, let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down
(Ooh, ooh)
