The mighty-duo has finally dropped their follow-up track to ‘Leave the Door Open.’

Bruno Mars and Anderson.Paak, took to social media on Wednesday to cordially invite fans to the upcoming “summertime jam.” During the invitation, the pair alluded vaguely to a possible new release, which fans quickly began sharing their excitement about on social media.

“Skate” arrives less than a month after Silk Sonic performed “Leave the Door Open” at the 2021 BET Awards, where .Paak teased new material for a brief moment.

The tracks will be included on Silk Sonic’s highly awaited debut studio album, An Evening With Silk Sonic, which was reportedly finished in February. The project has yet to get an official release date from Mars and Anderson, but it is likely to come this year.

During an interview with Zane Lowe earlier this year, the pair discussed the album, stating it started as a jam session with pals and then “snowballed” from there.

Mars said of the new track: “It was like, ‘Well, want to come back tomorrow?’ And we kept coming up with music…It felt like why you fall in love with music in the first place. And jamming with your buddy … There’s no plan, just working out the parts and trying to excite each other … I’d never created music like that, with drums being the focus. Andy is this monster behind the drums and you’re going to hear that all over the album.”

Speaking with Apple Music Zane Lowe, Bruno Mars spoke revealed the story behind the making of the new track, saying:

“Me and the team was thinking about what if we were performing in the middle of a roller rink, what would that baseline be doing?” Mars said. “What would the guitar be doing? What would the drums be talking about? And I wanted to play congas and that’s what you get. You get a song called ‘Skate.’ Talking about I’m trying to float. I’m trying to glide.”
