Cardi B Announces New ‘Outside’ Single: Release Date & Details

Cardi B is back “Outside” and she’s ready to supply the soundtrack to your summer block party.

The Grammy-winning rapper announced her first solo single of 2025, with “Outside” slated to arrive on Friday (June 20).

“We OUTSIDE this Friday,” she wrote on Instagram. The cover art encapsulates a summer turn-up in NYC, featuring a sidewalk with an overflowing fire hydrant alongside remnants of party favors like dominoes, open lipstick, blunt wrappers and red Solo cups.

The Bardi Gang was ecstatic to hear that Cardi was returning with a hopeful summer smash. “DOWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN BABY! When I tell you I’m so happy because I ran that snippet out,” one person wrote in her comments.

Cardi has teased snippets of the single on social media in recent months, and the positive reception has finally led to a full release.

“I’ve been cuffed up too long, let me remind n—as,” she raps about moving on from Offset. “Your favorite player on your favorite team, he in my DM.”

Also this year, she appears on the Smurfs Movie soundtrack and joined Pardison Fontaine for “Toot It Up.” “Outside” marks Cardi’s first single since “Enough” in 2024.

The 32-year-old has kept busy throughout 2025 with appearances at the Met Gala and the start of a new chapter with NFL star Stefon Diggs. Cardi went public with her relationship in May when she was spotted courtside at a New York Knicks playoff game with Diggs.

Cardi’s also been in mom mode, taking care of her three children. She posted the first official photos of her baby Blossom on Instagram earlier this week, which saw Cardi having a fun pool day at home with the kids.
