On October 16 2018, it was announced on Lil Peep’s official Instagram that the song will be released along with a video a day later. Since the Hashtag “#COWYS2” was attached to that post, we can surely say that this is one of the songs scheduled to be released on Lil Peep’s scheduled first posthumous and second studio album, Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 2 which is abbreviated to COWYS2 on social media. The video was accidentally uploaded but then deleted instantly. Peep’s mother Liza stated on his Instagram this was due to her “excitement to upload it I gave you all a sneak preview last night.”
COWYS 2 has been announced that it will be released on the 9th of November 2018.
The song samples underground sensation Prxjek hit song “The Devil Speaks” which was produced by HKFiftyOne.

I just did a line of blow right now
I don't wanna cry alone right now
I'm kissing on Styrofoam right now
I don't wanna cry alone right now
I'm kissing on Styrofoam right now
I don't wanna die alone right now
I don't wanna cry alone right now
Kissing on Styrofoam right now
I don't wanna die alone right now
I just did a line of blow right now
I hate everybody in my hometown
I wanna burn my old high school into the ground
I hate everybody in my hometown
Tell the rich kids to look at me now
I don't wanna cry alone right now
Kissing on Styrofoam right now
I don't wanna die alone right now
I just did a line of blow right now
Gonna fly back to my hometown
I feel like everybody hate me in my hometown
I hate everybody in my hometown
Tell the rich kids to look at me now
I don't wanna cry alone right now
Kissing on Styrofoam right now
I don't wanna die alone right now
I just did a line of blow right now
Gonna fly back to my hometown
I feel like everybody hate me in my hometown
I hate everybody in my hometown
Tell the rich kids to look at me now
I hate everybody in my hometown
I wanna burn my old high school into the ground
I hate everybody in my hometown
Tell the rich kids to look at me now
I really didn't wanna cry alone out loud
I really didn't wanna cry alone out loud

Honestly it breaks me to see him and hear his voice. It’s been almost a year and, while I never knew Gus personally nor met him, I know he’d love the impact he’s made.
There’s a quote that I love from Gerard Way...
“Even though we’re all outcasts in our own way, we all do belong in this world and we all fit in this world.”
It feels to me like Gus was inhuman. He definitely did was an incredible outsider in this world, this world is fucked up and never deserved him, and he embraced that. He embraced what made him different and what made him himself.
I’ll forever appreciate the work Gus has done.
I’ll forever appreciate the things he’s said.
I’ll forever appreciate his impact on the world.
It’s been almost a year and the world seems so lackluster without Peep. Goddamn...
Rest In Peace, Gus. Hell knows we miss you.
