This past Friday, one of the most anticipated singles of 2025 finally arrived—“Sad Song” by Vwillz—and it did not disappoint. The best word to describe this track? Dynamic. From its layered production to its genre-blending elements, “Sad Song” is crafted to captivate a broad audience. Rooted in New York drill, Vwillz elevates the sound by seamlessly intertwining his own vocals with an ethereal, angelic sample, showcasing his sharp sonic instincts.
Fueling the song’s growing hype was a viral short-form video where Vwillz first teased the hook. The quick-cut editing, paired with shots of him switching outfits and playing different instruments, emphasized the song’s versatility and genre-defying nature. It was a clear testament to both his artistic depth and the track’s undeniable appeal.
With over two million views on Instagram Reels from that teaser alone, “Sad Song” has all the makings of a major hit. Its infectious lyricism and polished execution ensure it’s a track people will keep coming back to. After a strong opening weekend, all signs point to this being one of Vwillz’s biggest releases yet.
