"Sucker 4 Green" (stylized as $UCKER 4 GR€€N) is a song by American-born Canadian social media personality Lil Tay. It was released independently on September 30, 2023, as the lead single from her upcoming debut studio album.[1] The music video for the song also marked her comeback to the internet after her 5-year-long hiatus and death hoax.[2][3]

Background and composition

Lil Tay rose to fame at the age of ten (while claiming she was nine) in 2018 for being the self-proclaimed "youngest flexer of the century" as well as posting rap videos on YouTube.[4] In June 2018, Tay's Instagram and YouTube content were wiped out in an attempt to rebrand.[5] Since then until the release of this single, Tay had disappeared from social media. In August 2023, it was announced that Lil Tay and her half-brother, Jason Tian, had supposedly died.[6] A day after the announcement, it was reported that Tay's Instagram account was hacked and that none of them died.[7][8]

On September 28, 2023, Tay was spotted outside Los Angeles International Airport by paparazzi.[9] The next day, she shared a link for her new single "Sucker 4 Green". Unlike her previous rap content, "Sucker 4 Green" is a pop song,[10] talking about Tay's love for money.[11]

Reception

Hayley Hynes of HotNewHipHop described the song as "less rap-centric" than what people had expected to hear. Hynes also said that it sounds "ready to be played at H&M or Hollister".[12]

A remix by Norwegian producer The Kitsune was released to YouTube on January 12, 2024.[13]
