Cardi B Drops Single "Outside" Just in Time for Summer: Stream

Cardi B has returned on Friday with a brand thumping new song, “Outside,” as she’s ready to take over the summer.

The Bronx bombshell announced plans for the song on Tuesday. “We OUTSIDE this Friday,” she wrote on Instagram, which sent her fans into a frenzy. 

She also shared a block party-themed cover art filled with a flowing fire hydrant and party remnants such as red Solo cups and dominoes.

Cardi has teased snippets of the single on social media in the past months and the positive reception has finally led to a full release.

"I’ve been cuffed up too long, let me remind n—as. Your favorite player on your favorite team, he in my DM," she raps about ending her relationship with estranged husband Offset from whom she filed for divorce for a second time in July 2024. 

Cardi has laid low on the music front for much of 2025, with appearances on the Smurfs Movie soundtrack and joining Pardison Fontaine for “Toot It Up”.

“Outside” marks Cardi’s first solo single of 2025 and her first single since “Enough” in 2024.

The 32-year-old musician has kept busy throughout 2025 with appearances at the Met Gala and the start of a new chapter with NFL star Stefon Diggs.

Cardi went public with her relationship in May when she was spotted courtside at a New York Knicks playoff game with Diggs.

She has also been in mom mode, taking care of her three children. The singer posted the first official photos of her baby Blossom on Instagram earlier this week, which saw Cardi having a fun pool day at home with the kids.
