"Outside" becomes Cardi B’s first musical release in over a year.

Cardi B Makes a Bold Comeback With Her New Single “Outside”

After a stretch of quiet on the solo front, Cardi B is back in full force. Her latest release, Outside, just hit all major streaming platforms and marks her long-awaited return to the spotlight. It’s been nearly 15 months since her last solo track, Enough (Miami), dropped in March 2024—another comeback moment that followed her previous solo studio release, Up, back in 2021.

Fans who caught a preview of Outside during an exclusive afterparty in Cannes this past May have been eagerly awaiting its official release. Cardi finally made the announcement via Instagram last week, sparking anticipation across her massive fanbase.

And now that it’s here, Outside doesn’t disappoint. The track kicks off with hard-hitting bars and high-octane energy, staying true to Cardi’s signature style. From the first verse, she dives straight into unapologetic lyrics that demand attention:
“Well, let’s go wrong for wrong / let’s go lick for lick / If I can handle that, let me see you handle this…”
It’s bold, raw, and confidently delivered—everything fans have come to expect from her.

Interestingly, Outside lands on the same day as Offset’s new single Bodies, adding a little heat to the release calendar and perhaps a subtle nod to their shared competitive edge.

With Outside, Cardi B reclaims her space in the game with fiery attitude and lyrical punch. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just tuning in, this track is a reminder that when Cardi drops, the world listens.
