After dominating playlists and charts around the globe, multi-Platinum genre-bender Shaboozey is refusing to hit pause. Hot off the heels of his unprecedented year of success, the boundary-pushing artist is expanding his critically acclaimed album with Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going: The Complete Edition—a dynamic 18-track project set to release April 25 via Empire. And if that weren’t enough to keep fans buzzing, Shaboozey also dropped a shimmering new single: “Blink Twice,” featuring BRIT Award-winning UK singer-songwriter Myles Smith.

Blending Americana storytelling, alt-pop polish, and a dash of dusty soul, “Blink Twice” arrives as a bold entry into 2025’s song-of-the-summer conversation—emotional, existential, and endlessly catchy. The track offers a reflective moment within the artist’s skyward journey, folding in lyrics that hit like a confessional journal entry scrawled on the back of a tour bus napkin.
"Living on the edge and finding out it's kinda dull / Realize I am somebody that I don't know at all," Shaboozey opens, with a wistful weariness that seems worlds away from the glitzy stages he’s conquered in recent months. The verses wrestle with identity, growth, and the exhaustion that can sneak in when the lights go down.
Myles Smith takes over the third verse with his signature soul-stained voice, bringing a transatlantic texture to the track. His lines—“I’ve been tryna catch my breath since I was seventeen / I’ve hurt, I’ve cried, had way too much to drink”—add raw grit to a track that already throbs with vulnerability.
Together, their voices unite on a soaring chorus that feels both carpe diem and cautionary tale:
“Oh me, oh my, would you look in my eyes? / We laugh or cry just to feel alive… Time flies, so don’t blink twice.”
Much like the original Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, this single walks the line between genres, offering something deeper than just beats and bars. It’s spiritual, cinematic, and drenched in road-dust realism—the kind of track you blast out your car window on a moonlit drive through nowhere, wondering where you’ve been and where you’re going.
The upcoming Complete Edition is expected to build on that duality: the cowboy troubadour with a rapper’s cadence, the introspective poet with the party-starter charisma. If “Blink Twice” is any indication, fans should prepare for both brand-new music and genre-defying guest appearances that continue to rewire the boundaries of what country, hip-hop, and pop can sound like when they're all driving in the same lane.
With his boots in one world and his heart in another, Shaboozey is proving he’s not just riding the wave—he’s reshaping the entire coastline.
Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going: The Complete Edition drops April 25. Time flies. Don’t blink twice.
