On September 21, 2018, the boyband released their fourth studio album, Iridescence, recorded in London's iconic Abbey Road Studios over ten days. It was their major-label debut, as well as their first album since Ameer Vann's departure following sexual misconduct allegations.
The album marked BROCKHAMPTON's first number-one album, as the album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 Chart. The album sold 101,000 copies in its first week and was released just weeks before the band embarked on their first tour without ex-member Ameer.

BROCKHAMPTON Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I take a chunk of it, some of it
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I done came down, bumpin' flexy
Niggas all around me, lookin' sexy
Locked in the crib, smokin' on some shit
These birds seem like they're goin' nowhere these days
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah)
Turn me up, I'm tryna get in tune with the DJ
Yeah, yeah (yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Sim Simma, who got the keys to my Beamer?
Young rich nigga steppin' in the arena
Baby girl a dreamer, give me brain like Eureka
I'm absorbin' everything around me now, amoeba
You know I'm that nigga, did you get amnesia?
Spinnin' in San Marcos, shout out Pauline with the pizza
I'm the diarrhea, fold 'em like tortilla
Stayin' on my toes, baby, ballin' ballerina
Who you think you talking to? I got no idea
TV on paprika, smokin' anaesthesia
Hit 'em with the cleaner, young street sweeper
Sound gettin' meaner, while a nigga gettin' greener
Easy with the teeth before you choke on this dick
Michiko Malandro on the run, smoke off the lips (straight off the lips)
I ain't sayin' no names since it cut me a check (cut me a check)
Baby up in Villa and I love the whole set
Let it sit (let it sit)
Got the glitter (got the glitter)
Oh, your thick lil' thighs got a grip on me (got a grip)
Watch you ride on me, lil' bitch slide on me (slide)
Pullin' out, then bust it open, let her shimmy on me (uh, uh-uh)
Push it (uh), push it (yeah), push it just like this
Shake it, shake it, shake it out the dress (out the dress)
She going straight to my head
Meet me on the bed
Kick off my kicks
She fiend for the dick
Spit on the tip
Spit in her mouth
Cum on the couch
I don't give a fuck
Take you to the steam room, rinse off the nut
Bitch, we goin' nuts, bitch 'bout to bust
Me and all my dogs stayin' up
Sleep is for the weak, so I tweak goin' dumb
You know I get down
You know I get down
Y-you know I get down
You know I get down
Y-you know I get down
You know I get down
Y-you know
Smack that, when she playin' Buju in the motherfucking hatchback
How you throwin' all that ass expectin' me to catch that?
Knew you tryna tell me with that Tennessee accent
This a crazy story, wait a minute, let me backtrack
She just told me grip up on her shoulders, make her back crack
Said her pussy water, I'm a dog and I'ma lap that
Heard me hit that high note, I kiss on her and she match that
She said, "What you talkin' boy, I'm sick of all the backchat"
Does your man even exist? Lil' bitch, I ain't seen him yet
Tear that ass up, make your man do the renovate
Slim thick and she finna hit like a cigarette
Take you where you want, like my Glock if you take the stick
¿Señorita, qué lo qué? (¿Qué lo qué?)
Ooh lil' mami, wish I knew what you said (I wish I knew)
She Boriqua with the braids
I guess she a genius way she do it with the brain
Throw it 'til you're tappin' out, throw it 'til your back blow out
Throw it like you Tarzan, this big dick you swingin' on
Ass ripple like avalanche, dancin', I'm skiin' on it
Hit my cup slow to this, drop it low to this
No, I don't miss the bitch, 'cause I don't miss, bitch
Hit my cup slow to this, drop it low to this
No, I don't miss the bitch, 'cause I don't miss, bitch
You know I get down
You know I get down
Y-you know I get down
You know I get down
Y-you know I get down
You know I get down

"SEX" by BROCKHAMPTON is a sexually explicit song that explores various themes including drugs, sex, and partying. The song has two parts to it, each of which is performed by different vocalists. The lyrics of the first part are dominated by drugs and smoking while the second part has more explicit sexual content.
The first part of the song starts with the line “I done came down, bumpin' flexy, n***s all around me, lookin' sexy.” which speaks about enjoying drugs and the company of attractive people around. The line “Smokin' on some s***, got a n***a seein' stars, that's just how a n***a live” highlights the effect of the drugs and how it makes the singer feel. The reference to “TV on paprika, smokin' anaesthesia,” tells us that the singer is also influenced by media and other external stimuli. In contrast, the second part of the song is much more explicit and graphic, with lines such as “Take you to the steam room, rinse off the nut” and “Spit in her mouth, cum on the couch”.
The lyrics of “SEX” have been the subject of discussions as the song is considered to be explicit and provocative. The song also lacks a conventional structure as it is comprised of two parts with different vocalists, neither of which follows a traditional verse-chorus structure. Nevertheless, the song is a testament to BROCKHAMPTON’s style, which is characterized by their unconventional approach to music, fusing various genres to create a distinct sound.

Yeah, that's cool

Got a nigga seein' stars, that's just how a nigga live
These birds seem like they're goin' nowhere these days
I'm getting high with some fine looking people, feeling like a star, while everyone else is aimless
Turn me up, I'm tryna get in tune with the DJ
Make the music louder, I'm trying to get in sync with the DJ

I'm a rich man who gets everything he wants, including sex from a dreamer who blows my mind. I'm absorbing everything around me like an amoeba. I don't remember who exactly you are, but hey, I'm doing pretty well. I'm on top, moving around, keeping it fresh, always getting better.

Be gentle with your teeth while you perform oral sex on me. I'm feeling like I'm part of a heist movie while smoking. I won't say who gave me money, but I'm enjoying the company of someone else. Let the moment sit, and let the shiny decorations do their job. Your thighs are making me feel good, watching you ride me and slide your body over mine. Once I pull out, I let her dance on me. I'm asking you to move with the rhythm, to shake it all off.
She going straight to my head
Meet me on the bed
Kick off my kicks
She fiend for the dick
Spit on the tip
Spit in her mouth
Cum on the couch
I don't give a fuck
Take you to the steam room, rinse off the nut
Bitch, we goin' nuts, bitch 'bout to bust
Me and all my dogs stayin' up
Sleep is for the weak, so I tweak goin' dumb
I'm feeling euphoric and ignore everything else. She is going straight to bed with me, and I need to take off my shoes while she has a strong desire for sex. We play dirty, and I am not ashamed of it because of the pleasure it brings me. After we are done, we clean ourselves up in the steam room, and we are not getting any sleep. We all stay awake because sleep is for the weak.

Said her pussy water, I'm a dog and I'ma lap that
Heard me hit that high note, I kiss on her and she match that
She said, "What you talkin' boy, I'm sick of all the backchat"
I'm smacking her butt while we listen to some music while driving. She has a big butt, and I was not prepared for it. I realized she was subtly telling me something with her accent. She tells me a crazy story, then tells me how she is into rough sex. I'm happy to be with her, and when I sing high notes, she kisses me passionately. She complains about me talking too much.
Does your man even exist? Lil' bitch, I ain't seen him yet
Tear that ass up, make your man do the renovate
Slim thick and she finna hit like a cigarette
Take you where you want, like my Glock if you take the stick

I'm wondering if you really have a partner. Let's have sex while I destroy your body. You are thin but curvy, and I'll treat you like my gun if we go back to my car. I'm talking to a Spanish-speaking woman who has amazing braids and is a sexual genius. We can keep going until you can't stand it anymore, and you can move like Tarzan on my big dick. Your ass is moving like an avalanche, and I'm riding skiis.
You know I get down
You know I get down
Y-you know I get down
You know I get down
Y-you know I get down
You know I get down
Y-you know
You know I'm not afraid of getting down and dirty, and you need to know that I'm serious about this.
