Anderson .Paak has officially teamed up with aespa for a special new single, entitled “Keychain.”
Released on February 27, 2026 (Friday), the Grammy-winning rapper, singer-songwriter, and producer’s collaboration song with the K-pop hitmakers is one of the original songs created for the family comedy film K-POPS!, which Anderson .Paak directed, wrote, produced, and also starred in. The song coming out coincides with the film’s wide release on the same day, following its premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival.
“Keychain” is notably co-produced by Dem Jointz, who previously worked on aespa’s “Supernova” on composition and arrangement. Notably, the Grammy-winning producer has also worked with other K-pop artists in the past, including NCT 127, EXO, ITZY, and more.
For Anderson .Paak, “Keychain” marks his latest collaboration with a K-pop artist. This follows his team-up with G-DRAGON on “Too Bad,” released in February 25, 2025 as part of the King of K-pop’s third studio album Übermensch. Notably, aespa’s Karina starred in the music video for the song.
Additionally, G-DRAGON is one of celebrity cameos on K-POPS!, alongside the likes of SEVENTEEN’s Vernon, Jessi, Crush, and more.
