Everyone loves "Stranger Things," Netflix's horror meets coming-of-age series, including Wiz Khalifa, whose new single is both named after and samples the theme song of the hit TV show.
"I took my dreams and made them into something, doesn't mean I don't wake up with the same hunger," Wiz raps over a beat that samples the memorable theme song to "Stranger Things," originally composed by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein. The show's soundtrack has been lauded by critics and has been credited for a resurgence in the popularity of 80's influenced, "synthwave" music.
The song was written after Khalifa finished his recent "High Road" tour, and apparently the "See You Again" rapper was inspired to create the track after watching the Netflix series during his post tour break and loving it. The song also features fellow Taylor Gang artist JR Donato.
It's currently unclear if "Stranger Things" will be one of the tracks to appear on Wiz Khalifa's next album, Rolling Papers 2, which is rumored to be released before the end of the year. Earlier this year, Wiz releasedKhalifa, his fourth consecutive album to chart on the Billboard Top 10.
