The Oxnard, California crooner is no stranger to the fictional city of Los Santos having starred in and contributed original music to the video game last year as part of Dr. Dre’s The Contract story mode.
The song itself blends ’80s rock flavor with stadium-status vocals as Anderson .Paak serenades the Bonnie to his Clyde.

“Girl you so fine, shining like a diamond ring/ Look me in the eyes, and tell me you would die for me/ Bonnie and Clyde, like it’s 2003/ Love of your life, you know that I gotta be,” he belts out on the chorus.

“Daydreaming” is just the latest single to arrive since NxWorries announced their long-awaited return last October. The Stones Throw duo ended their six-year hiatus following 2016’s Yes Lawd! by returning with “Where I Go” featuring H.E.R.
Anderson .Paak previously revealed he and Knxwledge were working on a new NxWorries album.

“We’re working on a new one,” he told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in 2020. “I was just over there the other day. You know what I’m saying? We’ve been getting it in. We’ve got a bunch of stuff that we’re really happy about.”
Last January, .Paak again confirmed on Instagram that the pair were in “album mode” — news that was met with excitement by Black Thought, Insecure actress Amanda Seales and singer Lalah Hathaway, among others.
“Daydreaming” also comes after NxWorries announced they’d be heading on tour this summer. The pair are set to play shows in Milan, London, Barcelona, Paris, Madrid, Porto and other cities across Europe, as well as Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta and Niigata.
Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge have both kept busy since NxWorries’ last album. The former has released numerous solo albums and linked with Bruno Mars to form Silk Sonic, whose 2021 album An Evening with Silk Sonic yielded four Grammy Awards last year.
