Houston-born singer and producer keshi released “MISS ME” through Island Records on Friday, 23 October 2026, and it’s streaming now for listeners in Singapore. It’s his first new music since 2025, and it opens the way to a third album that fans have already nicknamed K3.
If you’ve ever watched an ex’s Instagram story at 2am and wondered whether they still watch yours, this song gets you. keshi made his name with lo-fi hip-hop beats, alternative R&B, and a soft falsetto that sounds like it was recorded under a duvet. “MISS ME” turns that hushed style on the most awkward question a breakup leaves behind: do I still mean anything to you?
The Question Nobody Asks Out Loud
keshi describes the track plainly. “‘MISS ME’ is a song about wanting to know if you still matter to someone after a relationship ends. It’s about holding onto any remnant that still connects you to them, even if it’s the pain of their absence.”
That last part is the gutting bit, since it means he’d rather be missed painfully than forgotten painlessly.
The lyric that’ll get screenshotted most is “I want you to hurt when you’re not with me.” It’s a petty, honest thought that most breakup songs dress up as something nobler, and keshi lets it sit there unpolished. His label calls the song “a question without an easy answer,” and that’s a fair description, because he never tells you whether the other person does miss him.
The Team Behind the Track
keshi wrote “MISS ME” with boylife (of Brockhampton), Nick Velez, and Justin Tranter, the songwriter whose credits include Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, and Chappell Roan.
Production stayed tighter, with keshi, boylife, and Velez handling it as a trio. That matters for longtime fans, because keshi producing his own records is the thread running through his whole career, and it’s reassuring that a bigger songwriting room hasn’t taken the controls out of his hands.
From Bedroom Beats to Arenas
keshi started out as a bedroom producer, and his music crossed one billion global streams by 2021. That early run earned him fans like Miley Cyrus and BTS, plus a spot on the soundtrack of Marvel’s Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings.
According to Island Records, he has now passed 7 billion global streams. The label also reports that his 2025 Requiem World Tour delivered sold-out headline shows at Madison Square Garden in New York, The O2 in London, and the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. That’s a wild jump for someone who used to make beats in his room, and it explains why a new single from him feels like an event.
He has stepped into other worlds as well. keshi has worked with Yves Saint Laurent and Fendi, collaborated with GUESS, and been photographed for the covers of M Le Magazine du Monde and Euphoria. Gamers might have spotted him too, since Riot Games announced him as a special guest for VALORANT Champions 2026 in Shanghai, which can be watched on valorantsports.com.
So What Exactly Is K3?
Here’s the part fans are buzzing about. keshi has been teasing a new record, and the community has started calling it K3, short for his third album. To be clear, that’s a fan nickname and not an official title, so don’t be surprised if the real name turns out to be something else entirely.
There’s something for collectors as well. An exclusive, limited edition 7-inch vinyl of “MISS ME” is up for pre-order on keshi’s official shop. Limited runs tend to vanish quickly, so if you want a physical copy, it’s worth acting sooner rather than later.
Breakup songs are everywhere, but few admit to wanting the other person to hurt a little, and that honesty is what makes “MISS ME” stick after the first listen. Put it on, let that falsetto do its quiet damage, and you’ll understand why fans are already counting down to K3. Stream “MISS ME” on your preferred platform, grab the limited 7-inch vinyl from keshi’s official shop before it sells out, and keep an eye on his channels for more on album number three!
