Diddy has teamed up with PARTYNEXTDOOR on his new single, “Sex in the Porsche” — listen to it below.
Released on Wednesday (December 14), the song serves as the second single off Puff’s upcoming album on Love Records, the R&B label he launched in partnership with Motown Records earlier this year.

The elusive OVO singer contributes a verse and handles the chorus on the sultry backseat anthem, with Diddy delivering the second verse.
In his verse, the Bad Boy mogul references his 1997 debut album No Way Out and Diddy–Dirty Money’s Last Train to Paris, while also borrowing a classic Biggie line from the “One More Chance” remix.

“I invented champagne, making love in the rain / No way out, this might be the last train,” he raps, before closing out with: “Yo, don’t leave your girl ’round me / True player for real, ask Puff Daddy.”
The song was co-produced by Diddy and Drake collaborator Nyan, who recently worked on the Her Loss tracks “Liability” and “Hours in Silence,” as well as DJ Khaled‘s “Staying Alive.”
Diddy’s new album — his first since 2006’s Press Play — is set to be released early next year and will include the previous chart-topping single “Gotta Move On.” The Harlem native launched Love Records in May, with his upcoming solo LP marking the first release on the label.
“Music has always been my first love, Love Records is the next chapter is about getting back to the love and making the best music of my life,” Puff said in a statement at the time. “For the label, I’m focused on creating timeless R&B music with the next generation of artists and producers. Motown is the perfect partner for my album and I’m excited to add to its legacy.”

Speaking to Vanity Fair in August 2021, Diddy explained his “Love” era and why his new record label would be all R&B.
“[The ‘Love’ era is about] my people taking time to feel like it’s all right to love,” he said. “Take time to huddle up your tribe, take time to communicate and know your power. Take time to heal. [Taking care of] yourself without feeling like, oh, you’re going to be labeled a racist now because you talk about taking care of yourself.”
He continued: “I feel like R&B was abandoned and it’s a part of our African-American culture. And I’m not signing any artists. Because if you know better, you do better. I’m doing 50–50 partnerships with pure transparency. That’s the thing. [The new label is so that] we can own the genre.

“We don’t own Hip Hop right now. We have a chance to — and I’m going to make sure that — we own R&B.”
