Mallrat has released her second single of 2024, titled 'Hocus Pocus'.
The track features a Memphis rap sample from DJ Zirk's 'Born2 Lose', combined with spacey broken beats and bass. The track was produced by Styalz Fuego (Troye Sivan, Tate McRae) and Kito (Skrillex, FLETCHER), following her previous single 'Ray Of Light'.
Speaking about the creation of 'Hocus Pocus', Mallrat says: "I fell over and fractured my arm dancing to this demo on a walk home. I couldn't help but be excited! I had to wear a cast and sling. When I was writing the pre-chorus section of this song I was thinking of the sharp inhale breaths as lyrics that needed their own moment, kind of like a punchline. A lot of the time in pop music, breaths are edited out and turned down, but they felt important here to me."
