Chaos, fury, and revenge collide on “crank 2,” as American electropop star Slayyyter turns one of her viral records into an even more aggressive follow-up. The new track transforms the wild energy of the original “CRANK” into a furious response aimed at an unfaithful ex.
Released on September 10, 2026, through Columbia Records, “crank 2” serves as a direct sequel to Slayyyter’s earlier hit. While the original song captured a reckless party mindset, the new record takes a much more focused approach, with the singer confronting betrayal and turning her anger into a high-energy revenge anthem.
Production comes from longtime collaborators Austin Corona and Wyatt Bernard, who build the track around a distorted, blown-out Jersey club beat. The rough-edged production matches Slayyyter’s confrontational delivery, giving the song an intense and unapologetic character from start to finish.
The accompanying music video pushes that attitude even further. Directed by Slayyyter herself, the visual combines tornadoes, desert choreography, blood, smoking cars, and a huge American flag into a chaotic cinematic presentation. The imagery also connects directly to her upcoming companion album, WOR$T MAN IN AMERICA.
“crank 2” continues Slayyyter’s “inverse” era, following “brand new chanel$,” the Billboard-charting track that reimagines her previous song “BEAT UP CHANEL$” through a darker EDM-inspired approach. Together, the releases introduce the concept behind her forthcoming project, which is being developed as a mirror-image companion to WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA.
With its distorted production, aggressive performance, and striking self-directed visual, “crank 2” gives Slayyyter another explosive entry in her evolving electropop catalogue.
